VB Meeting Dec. 9 2008

Tonights meeting started with a special hearing for the public to comment about the change in parking spaces on Church St in front of the Reformed Church.  The result: 3 metered parking spots are added one of which is reserved for handicap parking only.  Click here for the audio

Some chairs at the VB executive table have been filled with some new faces.  Trustee's Chailtain, Jarvis, and Roy now fill elected seats.  All the mayoral appointments have vanished, leaving only publically elected officials.  So what does this mean?  Hopefully independent, informed and sound thinking leading to the same decision process.

Are you just dying to find out what went on at the regular meeting?  Nothing!  No public correspondance was received [too bad]   and no public concerns.  Nothing earth shattering to report.   Audio will be up soon, not that anything I just said would make you want to DL it.  The usual concerned citizens were present tonight [ Carol & Bob, Kay, Jay, Pam, and Ellen with one new addition........my friend Danni.  We need more new faces at these meetings, even if you take turns showing up!

During Public concerns, [there weren't any] I inquired about the status of the waste conversion plant.  The mayor looked at me as if he did not know what I was referring to.  Oh he said, you mean the bio-diesel plant........nothing new.  Ok mayor, I meant to say the bio diesel plant that uses waste thus converting it into diesel......, ya happy?  Click here for the VB meeting

I did notice that during the pledge of allegiance, that not all hats were removed.  Not mentioning any names but........the hats need to come off during the pledge and probably for the duration of the meeting.  Just a little respect for our country and our village board [grin]
