Once again there is a Board Meeting tonight that was not advertised. Well I guess Jane will argue that is was even though she just through up a piece of paper on the board a couple of hours ago. I’m still waiting to see the minutes from the May 29 meeting. There was also a meeting on July 12 and not minutes have been posted. Why isn’t the Town Board asking to see these minutes? They are just as much to blame on this matter as she is. This is really getting to be a game for Jane to see just how much she can get away with. Let me reiterate the Open Meeting Law from my May 29th post for you.

Let me just start out by saying that my recent surgery on my hand was a lot less painful then having to listen to this meeting. I have just listened to the Board spend ten minutes discussing the difference between Resolutions and motions. It makes you want to scream at these people and Jane (”The perfect Town Clerk for the last 5 years”) has no clue the difference. Mike Scott nailed it on the head when he said if she would take detailed minutes in the first place this would not be a problem. My question is there is an agenda for the meeting you should know that the board will be voting on Resolutions why isn’t the Resolution typed up before the meeting? Oh that’s right that would take common sense. Oh I almost forgot the reason for the Resolution was to transfer money to cover the cost of salt that was just ordered. Let me give our perfect town clerk some help here. Check out this website (from a town in the county that doesn’t put their minutes on the web and also doesn’t have them posted within two weeks). Sorry being a little facetious today. I am just really tired of Jane always saying “No one else does it” like a five year old.

Jamie Foster spoke to the Board about having inmates from the Groveland Correctional Facility (from Livingston County) perform work for the town all free of charge. Groveland will transport the inmates along with a guard. The inmates are allowed to run chainsaws and other equipment. The Town of Almond works with Groveland to help cut brush and clear roads. This to me sounds like a wonderful opportunity for the town. All of the roads in the town have brush that needs to be cleared away. The contact information was given to the town.

Another interesting tidbit that came out of this meeting was the fact that the Town had a $10,000 CD that was supposed to be cashed last month to pay back the general fund for the grader purchase. Well this was never done, the CD rolled over and now in order to get the money it will cost the town $100 to cash this.

Unfortunately this is all I have for you this month but I promise that I will be back next month with the full meeting.
