If You Open Early, They Will Come

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA

BOA meeting 2-3

Not. The BOA voted to revise the office hours of operation effective March 1st.
New hours are: 8 to 2, Monday through Friday. They had been opening at 7AM and on Wednesday staying open until 7Pm. Why the change? Nobody came. According to City Clerk Gwen Cenak, 5 people have taken advantage of the early hours since inception. Jerry said he "felt like the Maytag man" and "there is only so much sudoku you can do". Why did we change in the first place? Apparently a couple squeaky wheels felt we needed better hours to accommodate the citizenry, and so one of the first administrative changes Jerry made as new mayor was the move to early hours. Lesson learned, hopefully. A vocal minority or comments by friends doesn't always make for administrative/legislative sense for the majority. So what if you are one of the 5? The mayor and Gwen said, "just call us, we'll make arrangements". Simple.
