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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Today (2019-03-19) there is an Election for the Village of Honeoye Falls. Village residents may vote at the Village Office, 5 East Street (next to the bridge) between Noon and 9PM.
Two of the Village Trustee positions are up for a vote. Each is for a four year term. Continue reading
Tonight (2019-03-12) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE), and before that the Program Budget Advisory Council (PBAC).
Full disclosure: I sit on the PBAC, so some of these Observations aren’t exactly from the Audience. Continue reading
