Tonight (2017-10-24) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
If the Urban-Suburban program had not been on the agenda, the meeting would have been about half an hour long. Instead, it was about three (3) hours long. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-10-23) was the Honeoye Falls Zoning Board‘s regularly scheduled meeting night. However, they did not meet. As they do not meet if there are no items for them to discuss, presumably that is what happened tonight. This happens often enough to come as no surprise.
Tonight (2017-10-16) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
There was also a meeting of the Mendon Town Board. Looks like Columbus Day last week causes meeting shuffling. As I could only be in one place at a time (still working on that trick), I chose the Village meeting. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-10-10) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
“Open Forum” changed to “Public Comment”, with associated verbiage change. Had been discussed previously, but I believe this was the first meeting where the change was in effect. And most of the verbiage was not read, just the first line. Which I felt was a nice touch. As everyone in the room has come to enough meetings, reading the directions was irrelevant. I applaud the practicality of skipping unneeded words. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-10-02) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Planning Board.
And the theme of the meeting was ‘attention to details’. Every i must be dotted, and every t crossed. No exceptions. While I don’t agree with many of the details, I do find the boards attempt to deliberately apply all rules equally to everyone a commendable act. But the devil is ever in the details.

Tonight (2017-09-26) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Minor notes for the evening was the new head of the Facilities department (Aaron Smith) and watching a group correct typos can be amusing (2015 should be 2016). Besides that, the bulk of the meeting was ‘diversity’ under it’s various headings. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-09-21) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Urban-Suburban Research Committee.
The focus for the evening was gathering questions from the general public. Not so much in answering those questions, but collecting a sampling of what the community wants to know before any decision is made on HFL’s involvement with the program. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-09-18) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
While listening to the department reports I realized that they have become the primary usage of time at these particular meetings. Didn’t used to be that way. Nothing wrong with that, just means most of the other agenda items go quickly. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-09-12) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
At the meeting where the various buildings report on how well the start of school has gone, the process for next years budget also begins. When is it budget time? Apparently, anytime staff is around (ie all the time). Continue reading
Tonight (2017-09-11) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Planning Board.
CYA looked to be the primary focus tonight, unfortunately. On the plus side, there was an audience, which led to some nice conversations before/after the meeting. Continue reading
