Tonight (2017-01-23) was the Village 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.

With 68 items on the agenda (one added at the start of the meeting), and the meeting taking approximately 50 minutes, they moved through it quickly. Continue reading

Last Monday (2016-12-26) was the fourth Monday of the month, regularly scheduled time for the Village Zoning Board to meet. They met on Thursday (2016-12-29) instead. Continue reading
