This work session of the Pleasantville Village Board of Trustees focused on two major topics: a proposed World Cup watch party event and a significant update to the village's site plan review and tree protection regulations. The meeting was originally listed for May 11, 2026 on the agenda, but the official record indicates it took place on May 13, 2026.
World Cup Watch Party
Tree Ordinance / Site Plan Update
Last like a whole model. Yeah. I mean, that places where people just think cease working. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, totally. Like in Ecuador when they first made it to the World Cup, they canceled work on the days that was playing. Yeah. All right. Welcome all. It is Monday, May 11 work session for the village of Pleasantville Board of Trustees. This chatter is about the World Cup button, not about the World Cup watch. What did you say? So children. We were just talking about the excitement of it. But we can get into full details about bringing that excitement to the village. So Eric, we've been back and forth about the idea of a World Cup button party. A high-end display was crazy money. Yes, and Mike's online too. He can speak further to that. But yeah, we evaluated doing a high-death setup. I think Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, but it was upwards of $15,000 for the rental. I mean, we were looking at LED screens that were you know 25 feet. And we were looking at you know between 10 and 15,000. And just and then just on top of that, the electrical hooking up, it just became a much bigger project that really we explored it to just make sure we could try if it was possible and costs would allow it to have you know a really nice screen like that, but it it's just for a community event. I just I I pivoted um and I think it's just too much to do that. How big were those screens, Mike? Uh the one we were looking at is similar to the size that we're looking at as far as projections, about uh 16 by 25, 16 by 22. Okay. So is there a cheaper way to do it? Yeah, so we we are all but locked in with a projection screen 16 by 22. Um that will uh be a fraction of the cost. The I'm sorry, I don't have it in front of me, but the cost about 2300 total for the projection screen staff and uh generator in case we have any power needs. Um you know, most likely we're gonna run this off uh the electric lightning, but we figure we should have the uh generator just in case, and we don't want to be running long cables from um the power where the lights are, which we typically use for the music festival. So we're just trying to avoid uh long runs of cables. But uh that's what we have all but secured for the event. The plan is to potentially, if everyone's still on board, is the plan is to put the screen somewhere on parkway field facing the bleachers. Uh so people if they wanted to sit in the bleachers, they can. I would imagine most people just uh you know make a nice picnic or chairs out in the grass field. Um we'll have we're looking to secure two food trucks and an ice cream truck to put over by the to put over by the bathroom area. Uh we have secured an attendant to be to check the bathrooms throughout the night, uh similar to what we do with the high school football games, so that we don't have any issues in the bathrooms.
