Tonight (2019-01-07) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
Another year, another organizational meeting. Although, there was something slightly different this year. Couldn’t put my finger on the direct change, but the meeting felt more ‘stuff is happening’ and less ‘boring motion after motion’. Good job here, even if I can’t pinpoint it. Continue reading
Today (2018-12-31) was a special meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
I asked, and the primary purpose for having an off cycle meeting was to simplify end of year finances. Not quiet what I would consider a noble reason, but I can’t really fault it either. Accordingly, the largest part of the meeting was probably the approval of vouchers and budget adjustments. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-12-18) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
There was a student to speak during ‘Public Comment’ time. Not exactly rare, although always welcomed. Surprisingly enough, he spoke in favor of more math classes, in particular AP Calculus BC. I say good for him, more math (and the science it leads to) can only help. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-12-17) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
I’ll start with the last chronological event, but by far most emotional: Jerry Pavelsky (Deputy Mayor) is moving to Florida. As such, he is resigning from the Board. I know I won’t be the only one to miss him, both on the Board and in the community. Having known Jerry and family for quiet some time, I knew this was coming at some point. But life is change, so I hope he has a wonderful time at his new residence. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-12-10) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
Unlike the past two meetings, this one was on the second Monday of the month, so I was able to attend. There was also a decent sized crowd, primarily for the public hearing on a sewer agreement with Pittsford. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-12-03) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Planning Board.
The meeting itself was rather short and redundant. In essence, the board reaffirmed the conclusion from their previous meeting. Which is to say, a ‘No’ for Muffy’s subdivision. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-11-27) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Surprisingly few people at the meeting. Normally there is a decent number of staff there. Principals, department heads, etc. Tonight that crowd was not in attendance. There were a pair of students though. Apparently it’s AP Government meeting attendance time again. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-11-19) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
Next month may see the end of the Village Planning and Zoning boards, as there will be a public hearing at the December 17 meeting to discuss that. Assuming it passed, both Boards would be dissolved, and a new Zoning Board would then be created which would fulfill the duties of both. Is an interesting idea, I look forward to watching how it turns out. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-11-13) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
I’ll start by following up on a previous question on attendance and how it relates to ethics. Tonight was the first meeting since the Board approved their Code of Ethics that a member was missing: Dave (the first, as opposed to the second) was not at the meeting. I’m sure he had a perfectly valid reason, as life does happen, but this means it only took three meetings before an obvious violation of the Code of Ethics happened. So can we expect his removal from the Board at the next meeting? Continue reading
Today (2018-11-06) there is a General Election in New York State. For those who live in Honeoye Falls, the polling station is the Mendon Community Center, between 6AM and 9PM. Continue reading
