Honeoye Falls-Lima Budget Hearing 2019-05-07

Posted on 2019-05-07 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-05-07) was the Public Budget Hearing and Meet the Candidates event for the Honeoye Falls-Lima School District.

      Due to construction, this years budget vote will be in the Board of Education room on the west side of the High school. NOT in the foyer by the pool, like in previous years.

      For a rough outline of this years budget situation you can see this months ‘Inside HF-L‘ (in the mail or online). If you are looking for a more detailed breakdown, there is a detailed budget package available on the District’s website. To summarize: ~$50 million budget, with ~3% levy increase.

Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education 2019-04-23

Posted on 2019-04-23 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-23) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).

      Tonight’s meeting included a workshop on using BoardDocs. I have to assume the trainer was on a schedule, as normal activities were skipped. Before approving an agenda, or even formally calling the meeting to order, they were off to the training. Continue reading →

Honeoye Falls Village Board 2019-04-15

Posted on 2019-04-15 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-15) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.

      For a regular Village meeting, this one was surprisingly long. The length came from a large number of items, two of which also generated lengthy discussion. So it was, of course, coincidental that the regular clerk was on vacation. Continue reading →

Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education 2019-04-09

Posted on 2019-04-09 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-09) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).

      As happens at most of these meetings, the Board members trickle in and try to find their name tags, so they can sit in the right place. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter where they sit, but whatever. I did have the thought: Maybe the name tags should be angled so they are easy for the Board to see when they enter, so they can find their seats easier. Then once they are seated, turn them so the audience can tell their names. Continue reading →

Posted on 2019-04-08 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-08) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.

      In many ways this was a standard meeting. Relatively short, more or less straightforward. Having said that, there were a few interesting tidbits. Continue reading →

Posted on 2019-04-02 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-02) was a budget workshop of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).

      The topic of the meeting was the ~$500k gap between expected income and desired expenses. I’ve been coming to these long enough that I knew there would be a plan to close that gap, and I was not disappointed. Continue reading →

Honeoye Falls Zoning Board 2019-04-01

Posted on 2019-04-01 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-01) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Zoning Board.

      The meeting was short and to the point. Muffy was back, having continued to pursue her subdivision. Long and short of it, a judge had found issue with the process used, but had not offered any opinion on the outcome of the process. In particular, the way the Village handled SEQR. Continue reading →

Honeoye Falls Annual Meeting 2019-04-01

Posted on 2019-04-01 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-04-01) was the Honeoye Falls Annual Meeting.

      As usual, Budget Hearing was before the Annual Meeting. While the budget was approved (no surprise), there was a surprising amount of discussion before that approval. In the end, a levy increase of 2.91% (ie at the cap) was approved, which should increase the Village’s revenue ~$12k. Continue reading →

Posted on 2019-03-26 by OFAL Author

      Tonight (2019-03-26) 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. While you are welcome to read the full recommendation, I would summarize it as ‘continue what has worked in the past’. Continue reading →
