Today should have been the School vote, but we have been too busy panicking the past few months. Perhaps this will serve as a lesson for the next panic, perhaps not.
Instead we have a Public Budget Hearing next week, on May 26. As with the past few Board meetings, this will be online. Although they appear to be adjusting to allow public comments, which will be interesting to watch. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-05-18) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
Meeting was relatively short. Nothing wrong with that, although it was interesting that making transcription easier was a stated reason. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-05-12) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Big topic of the evening was the election. It will be absentee/mail in only, and ends June 9th.
Full disclosure: Yes, that is my name on the list of candidates I stole from Gene (Superintendent). Continue reading
Tonight (2020-05-11) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
Like with the previous Town Board meeting, I was assisting with managing this Zoom meeting. So I was more part of the meeting, then in the audience. As such, I feel it is inappropriate to share significant observations here. Don’t want to have an apparent conflict of interests. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-05-05) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
By pattern, tonight should have been the Budget Public Hearing and Meet the Candidates. As we are too busy panicking to conduct business as usual, it was a special (emergency?) meeting instead. Primary topic was the sinkhole in the High School parking lot. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-05-04) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Zoning Board.
Or maybe it wasn’t. On the Village’s website, an agenda was made available, as was a link to join the online meeting. But as far as I could tell, the meeting never started. Canceled? Technical issues? Another case of PEBCAK? Who knows. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-04-28) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
While video conferencing has it’s technical issues (I crashed out in the middle of the budget presentation), I think this group is getting pretty good at them. The streaming started enough before the actual start of the meeting that nothing was missed. And at the other end, people were leaving before it was cut off. As with most everything, experience improves results. Continue reading
For the last month or two, we have all been in the audience. Which is to say, spectators in the debacle that is this ongoing panic. So I’ve been thinking…
Bottom line first: This ‘shutdown’ is unconstitutional, and any government official that does not fight it is in violation of their Oath of Office. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-04-20) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
There was also a meeting of the Village Board. Ironically enough, even with so many things having gone online, I still can’t manage to observe two meetings at the same time. So tonight was with the Town. Maybe the Village recorded their meeting and I can watch it later. Probably not, but there is always hope. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-04-14) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
The former facilities building is gone. Is part of the ongoing Capital Project. Which is a silver lining to this panic: The school being effectively closed means the workers have more flexibility. Continue reading
