Tonight (2018-03-19) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
As was brought up at the meeting, tomorrow is the first day of spring. So we can expect flowers to start blooming at any moment. Or at least bugs flying through through the air. Hopefully more of the first, and less of the second. At least while inside, at meetings. Even if some of the reactions can be amusing. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-03-13) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Full disclosure: I sit on the Public Budget Advisory Council. And tonight the PBAC gave it’s budget recommendation to the BoE. It was a group project, and I believe it adequately does it’s required job. Namely, helps get the district through one more year. Maybe I’ve become jaded over the years, but I’m not thrilled with the outcome. Doesn’t really do anything about the larger, long term, challenges the district is facing. But those are also outside of the committee’s charge, hence the ‘adequately’. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-03-12) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
As far as I can tell they did meet as scheduled. Unfortunately, I had other obligations and was unable to attend. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-03-05) was a Mendon Public Library Board of Trustee meeting.
Again no Planning Board, so I was able to Observe the Library Trustees instead. Not complaining, I am enjoying the opportunity get a ‘feel’ for how this Board works. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-02-28) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Zoning Steering Committee (or something like that).
As this was a workshop/committee meeting, it wasn’t announced through the normal channels. But by paying attention at public meetings I knew when/where it would happen. And as expected, when I showed up and sat quietly in a corner, no one asked me to leave. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-02-27) 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
Tonight (2018-02-26) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Zoning Board.
Per the agenda, there were three variances. But as all three involved the same applicant, for the same object (a sign), they were effectively treated as one. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-02-20) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
Amusingly enough, there was a sign on the Village Office door today (and yesterday) indicating the meeting had been ‘rescheduled’ for tonight. Amusing because I remember when they approved this years meeting schedule and how this meeting (and last months) were deliberately set to be on Tuesdays instead of Mondays. Continue reading
Tonight (2018-02-13) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Planning Board.
There was also a School Board of Education meeting, but from the agenda, that was going to be only executive session. As I would have been unable to observe the session, I went to the Planning Board meeting held on an unusual day of the week (for them). Continue reading
Tonight (2018-02-12) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
Sheldon (Town Attorney) was absent tonight. Primarily of note in that he wasn’t able to discourage questions during comment time. Which I took advantage of to get some clarification. Continue reading
