A Note to the Council About the Library’s Expensive Proposition to Gut Itself and Start Over
The following note was sent to the Village Council with a copy to the Village Manager.
Dear Council:
It is my impression that the library director and board are asking the Council to pave over part of Veterans Field for parking so that they can increase services further and build a performance venue at the library.
This is a bad idea–no, a terrible idea. Our parks have already been largely given over to sports. What’s left must be considered sacrosanct. As the temporary custodians of the village, you make decisions that will last for decades or forever. You are responsible for holding firm on this. I believe such a decision would be wildly unpopular.

Village Hall Backup generator installation
So if I understood Heather correctly, scheduling the backup generator installation for a weekday afternoon was done to save a $5000 installation premium? Really?
The departments that are being sent home for a half a day include the Health Department, the Water Department, the managers office, the clerks office, the building Department, the Engineering Department, and the finance Department.
How could all of those salaries possibly total less than $5000?
Clearly this was a bad decision. Someone needs to be held accountable, please.
