1 September Meeting
The first order of business, a proclamation declaring October Senior Citizens Month at WL. It was a unanimous vote by a Board and Mayor decidedly "seniors", kind of like singing happy birthday to themselves. A sampling of the proclamation:
- "Whereas, never before in the history of our country have youth been in greater need of wisdom and counseling of older people"
- Whereas, aging is a life-long process, and preparation for old age begins in childhood and continues throughout the life-cycle"
On a more serious note the meeting proceeded for another 2 hours and 40 minutes, some of the 6 members of the public aged noticeably with the exception of Gaye...who miraculously appeared to actually get younger...you had to be there.
Speaking of posterior pain, the meeting finished with a flourish in New Business. Jerry introduced the concept of having two BOA meetings a month which met with giddy excitement by Mary. Idea being the BOA could split a two hour meeting (which they have had one this year) into two one hour meetings. Simple math, right? Finn appropriately id' the problem as El Jerry himself (correctly so). My experience? In a past administration the new mayor went to a bi-weekly schedule which lasted two months. Why? The discussions were like that expanding foam...oozed out to fill the void.
Stay tuned blogites, I have just touched the surface of 8 handwritten pages of Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA.
