Tonight (2017-06-19) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
It was unusually long for this group. Not really a surprise, as there was a presentation and two public hearings on (somewhat) controversial issues. Plus all the regular items of discussion. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-06-13) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
There was an irate mother at the meeting, to complain about how the school had handled some incident. Details were sketchy, but from pieces mentioned I suspect one of her children was bullied while on the school bus. To the board’s credit, they did try to help her. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to satisfy her. While I’m not a mother, the desire to protect your children is understandable. Unfortunate that this issue occurred, but fortunately this sort of thing does not happen often. Or if it does it’s kept quiet, which is a whole other sort of problem… Continue reading
Tonight (2017-06-12) was a meeting of the Mendon Town Board.
There was a surprisingly large crowd tonight, with no obvious reason. A few of the people commented at various times, but most of them just observed. I speculate that two of them were candidates for the Town Board at the upcoming election. If so, good on them for showing up. If not, wouldn’t be the first (or last) time I’ve been wrong.

Tonight (2017-06-05) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Planning Board.
The agenda items were dealt with in a surprisingly quick and efficient manner. To such an extent it was commented upon at the eventual end of the meeting. The non-agenda items, on the other hand, were entertaining in their time consuming tangents. Continue reading
Today (2017-05-29) was another Memorial Day. As happens here, there was a parade from (approximately) the high school to the cemetery. We get the horses, groups on foot (veterans, scouts, band, etc), groups in vehicles (fire, ambulance, motorcycles, etc). Continue reading
Tonight (2017-05-23) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Gene (Superintendent) managed to have his Report take up the largest portion of the meeting, while he personally spoke the least. He managed this by nesting two other reports inside his own. Interesting way to organize a meeting, but it worked. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-05-22) was the Honeoye Falls Zoning Board‘s regularly scheduled meeting night. However, they did not meet. Continue reading
Today (2017-05-16) there is an Election for the Honeoye Falls-Lima School District. District residents may vote at the High School Lobby, 83 East Street between 6AM and 9PM. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-05-15) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls Board of Trustees.
Interesting meeting tonight, from a time usage vs agenda item point of view. The reports from departments took the bulk of the time, while the agenda items (minus the last) were relatively short. Usually it’s the other way around, relatively short reports followed by longer old and new business.
Ironically enough, the clerk’s computer started the meeting by deciding it was time to do updates. To her credit, she pulled out paper and continue on. Continue reading
Tonight (2017-05-09) was a meeting of the Honeoye Falls-Lima Board of Education (BoE).
Tonight was the first night the BoE was completely using a new tool for it’s packet. Side effect of this is that the public can read most of the information the board gets before the meeting (minus any executive session information). While it’s too soon for me to form a real opinion on the details, the idea of getting the information out earlier is one I am in favor of. Nothing like having a well educated public to offer feedback during ‘public comment’ time. Mind you, I’m probably the only one that cares. Continue reading
