5. General Business and Reports
5.1. Hall of Fame update – the criteria was circulated for review and amendments,
Andrea will update the document and it will be sent to the committee. Members
also requested a list of current Wall of Fame inductees.
5.2. General discussion – Scott commented that the tennis courts have dirt collecting
along one side of the courts which makes them hazardous, perhaps staff could
clean regularly; also the yellow lines are cracking under the paint. Chris updated
that it would take a capital project for proper court refurbishment and addition of
lights and that there is a plan to do some work on the courts in 2024. Baldwin
Place may also be building a pickleball court, more information to come.
Chris brought up reports of dirt bikes on trails inside Tillsonburg, would like to
see some remedies such as boulders or other barriers to prevent that from
happening. The boulders that were at the 4th to North bridge overpass were
rolled down the hill.
All slopitch leagues started last night and minor ball is also on. Thanks to staff
for great job opening the ball fields.
Taylor mentioned horses making mess on trails, does that fall under poop &
scoop by-law – Chris will follow up with by-law.
