The Greatest Show on Earth

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
June 5

There weren't any wild animals but plenty of clowns as Ringling, Barnum and Bos settled in for another evening of entertainment.  No admission price...but I guess you get what you pay for.  I left the proceedings at 9:45 PM with the council still in session, muddling through a series of ordinances aimed at awarding contracts for the entrance monument project.  The City Clerk and City Attorney made hurried trips back to the office to make amendments, the hum of the copy machine in the background.  Even Mary wondered aloud whether the written  copies resembled what they were talking about.

The Mayor crowed last month about the record time for the BOA meeting (around 40 minutes), it was not to be last night.  A strong 50 minutes was spent last eve discussing the "sign ordinance" and changes thereto.  Appointments to committees took a bit and a new committee was formed, which, I think you will enjoy...but I digress.  Details to follow in posts to come.

In the meantime George announced the final paving of Barry Road begins today, striping tomorrow and completion and traffic ready by Friday...at least that is the plan.  He didn't specify, but I think he meant the Platte County end of the project beginning at Potomac.
