I took handwritten notes, and take full credit/blame for errors in any transciptions from them. These notes are not complete and are flavored with my own opinion.
2. Supervisor Balus began the business of the meeting with the comment, "People who aren't able to control themselves in a manner that one would expect in a meeting will be asked to leave." This admonition clearly alluded to comments made in the November meeting, where a resident asked the Board to dissociate themselves from a local newspaper and web site.
The original comment was directed toward the Board as it operates in an official capacity. Preemptively preventing an entire audience of citizens from speaking on a topic, simply because it brings out strong feelings or causes discomfort, only causes resentment and does nothing to dispel the problem. Threatening the audience with the Constable also does nothing to further good relations in the Town.
3. The Town's fund balance is 100% collateralized within Erie County's Money Market program. Given the global economic freefall, this is A Good Thing.
4. Following up on the Town Copier Scandal® from November, Supervisor Balus said, "There is nothing further to follow up on . . ." User permission codes will be in place by the first of 2009.
5. The Sardinia Historical Society suggested changing the name of the Old Town Hall. The Sardinia Meeting House was one possible option.
6. The End of the Year Meeting is set for Tuesday, December 30 at 7:30 p.m.
