VILLAGE COUNCIL
SPECIAL PUBLIC MEETING
SEPTEMBER 27, 2023
FYI: The idiom “jumping the shark” or “jump the shark” is a pejorative that is used to argue that a creative work or entity has reached a point in which it has exhausted its core intent and is introducing new ideas that are discordant with, or an over-exaggeration of, its original purpose .
