In the Town Board Agenda, there is a line item "Correspondance Log" which is approved during the "Consent Agenda" portion of the meeting. This is very rarely discussed, and usually contains updates from the Town Justices and a few misc. items. In the February 23rd Agenda, reports from Town Departments were filed, and while initially it may seem to be dry reading, over time this will provide powerful insights to where the town departments are spending time and resources.

The November 10 Town Board Meeting was a "can of worms" of statements, questions, issues - After the normal beginning -- it opened with a public hearing on the budget. A resident complimented the Supervisor's actions over two years and said that his budget reflected that. Then began the discussions involving seniors... where did the $$ for the Senior Garden Club go? (it is there.. and will be made a separate line item), then a long discussion about how municipal accounting
