Regarding
the request by Impact Dwight to have cardboard boat races at
Lions Lake, Village Administrator McNamara was informed by
IMLRMA, the Village’s liability insurance company, that the
Village’s policy would not cover such an event. President

League which indicated that it would be too much of a
liability.

definitely be coming to Dwight, and that an agreement for the
turning lane and traffic light was being sent to Village
Attorney Neville.
