MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!




Christmas Bells
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Special TB Meeting 12-03-09 @ 5 PM....(MEETING LOCATION CHANGED)

......in a courtroom at the Public Safety Building, instead of the Broderick Room at Town Hall, due to a scheduling conflict, according to the D&C article.


Since it's at the PS building, maybe someone can check and see about those heat pumps that were supposed to be installed there when they bonded money for it?

Where Your School Taxes Go

Two videos about the school district spending over a quarter of a million dollars on a compost pile.......that will release methane when decomposing. :)





Here's a link to a website that has concerns about the vote on December 8th, and about how much money is going for certain propositions. Irondequoit Schools

PB Meeting 11/23

There was the approval of the draft FEIS for 500 Newport Rd. With a couple of edits, it will become the FEIS. Unfortunately, any of the links to the DEIS (draft environmental impact statement) on the Town's website is gone now - any of the links just go to the Costich website. Hopefully, the FEIS will take it's place at some point.

Here is the link to the PB meeting (from the pledge to the end) for November 23, 2009.

A gentleman had stated that the meeting wasn't valid because

Lifting The Cloak Of Secrecy

From Public Employee Contracts:

Oh, Irondequoit had done a blog about a comment in the D&C article, which brings up the points about open meetings, taxpayer involvement, and negotiations with public employee contracts.

Continued....

FYI - Planning Board Meeting - Newport Rd.



The Planning Board Meeting for Monday, November 23rd, has been rescheduled to start at 5:30pm instead of 7pm. Review of the Draft FEIS for Newport Rd. is on the agenda.

You can view all of the documents pertaining to the Newport Project, and specifically the multitudes of pages within the DEIS, on the Town Website.

Budget Workshops



It seems that tomorrow's workshop is canceled.

After all of that input at the Public Hearing, don't you think a workshop would be a good thing to do?

Will it be rescheduled?

I went to go take a look at the agenda for next week's TB meeting, but the agenda from last month is still up there.



Maybe we'll find out next week about the budget workshop meeting?

THANK YOU!
