Mayor Mahoney brought up an e-mail he received from a resident inquiring if the guard rail surrounding Memorial Park was necessary. The board had a discussion and it was agreed that the guard rail did serve a purpose. It was for safety of anyone who may be in the park. They also discussed that in years before the guardrail people would park on the grass and cause damage to the grass and the earth beneath it. The Board agreed that the guard rail must stay, but is discussing the idea of painting it, so it will be less of an eye sore. The Mayor wanted to mention that the Yorkville Village Justice has been helping Whitesboro and filling in as Judge once a week.
