At the May 8 Committee of the Whole meeting, Mayor Michelle Dumolt reviewed a risk analysis for the Pleasantville Music & Street Festival and said grants awarded "to the village" and some alcohol-sale proceeds should have been handled by a nonprofit; she expressed a preference that a nonprofit take over festival management. Councilman Bob Pangborn suggested offering festival leadership to the Lions Club.
Village maintenance reported that paint had been ordered and the pool was being cleaned; Administrative Assistant Samantha McCreery said EDF Renewables might donate additional funds if the village requests them. The minutes record discussion of lifeguard wages and whether a non-lifeguard-certified manager would be practical; no wage changes or staffing decisions were recorded.
Council discussed municipal building rental practices, saying nonprofit users sometimes do not clean or return chairs and tables; Councilwoman Courtney VanDyke proposed a refundable cleaning deposit while maintaining no rental fee for nonprofits. The minutes also note a recent lock change at 100 N. Main St. after a tenant was given 30 days to vacate; Mayor Dumolt said she would like to move the municipal office to that building.
On solid waste, the village is a rider on Carroll's trash contract, which expires Sept. 30. Mayor Dumolt suggested exploring adding trash charges to water bills to ensure legally required trash service for all residents.
The minutes do not record further actions or votes; items were marked for follow-up or committee consideration.
