Village Board Meeting Minutes

The Village has again refused free offers of DVD video and audio to post on the Village's website. "Too expensive" is all they can say but offer no real proof that they ever looked into any reliable cost estimates. Clyde Allen said $175,000 dollars but presented nothing to back up his claim. No one else offered anything even close to that figure based on discussions with media and IT representatives. The Village Board voted to post audio only for now. "Baby steps" said Mr. Serpe. The Village wants to be a leader, then take the steps necessary to post video online. The Village has said they will eventually also post presentation materials. These presentation materials should be available before the meetings so that residents can review and have a chance to comment during Citizen Comments before the item is even discussed by the Board. As far as Meeting Minutes, great CYA by Mr. Pollocoff. He said that minutes wouldn't reflect what was actually said because of Robert's Rules only recognizing who the President has given permission to speak. Read through the last few years of meeting minutes and you'll see a lot of instances were this wasn't followed. Why the new explanation Mr. Pollocoff?
