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
Tonight (2020-04-06) was the Honeoye Falls Annual Meeting.
As is becoming the norm, this meeting was held online. I was not familiar with the service used, but it did the job well enough. Not perfectly, but it worked. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-03-31) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
At the core, there were two topics tonight: Next years budget and the ongoing panic. Continue reading
Tonight (2020-03-24) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
This was also the meeting where the Program Budget Advisory Council (PBAC) makes their recommendation to the BoE. As I sit on the PBAC, I was with the group presenting (such as it was). While you are welcome to read the full recommendation or watch the video, I would summarize it as ‘continue the course while planning for the future’. Continue reading
