There was no consensus, no vote, no amendment to the resolution following discussion about fees that Park mobile wanted to charge us. It was discussion at a work session and nothing was agreed to or decided upon. But big-ego Roberta decided that she could take what was discussed and turn it in to a contract that is in direct violation with what the council had voted on. There was also no discussion or vote to have the contract go for three years when the resolution was for two years. An amendment to the resolution would have to have been introduced and passed, but no, Roberta was larger than the law and did whatever the hell she wanted. You are aware, aren’t you, that she has been found GUILTY of an ethics violation by an independent group, the Local Finance Board? Consider the source when you read her lie-filled letter.
In addition, do not blame Heather Mailander for that resolution. She drafted it according to what the five elected officials voted on and it was signed before the March discussion at which Roberta decided to tell everyone that major fees were going to be coming. You should get your facts straight, but you are a Roberta supporter so obviously you come from the school in which facts are not needed in order to make strong statements.
And obviously you come from the school that doesn’t know how your village government works: resolutions are drafted before they are voted on. It’s okay, keep getting your FAUX News spoonfed from a half-dozen busy-body cyber-bullies that have a personal vendetta against a former village manager. We all see why they are doing this and time will tell if it works or not. One thing is clear: it’s not from the goodness of their hearts. Here’s a hint: According to your post, they all knew the contract varied from the resolution immediately after it was signed. What possible motive could they have had to not raise that concern at the time? It would have saved us all money. Why stay quiet and wait?
Remember the last names of those who are publicly defending Roberta’s arrogance and incompetence – Weitz and Willet. If you see those names on a future ballot, don’t cast your vote for either.
Hey 8:16 am: So if everyone knew as you’re suggesting, why did your buddies Paul, Gwenn and Albert stay quiet?
8:16 here. 8:48, I think they should all be fired for this gross negligence with our money. Thankfully the three you mention are already gone. Now, what should we do with the last two? And 8:39 comes very close to answering my original question. Small-minded self-serving Machiavellian politicians are using the politics of personal destruction to just win the next election. Shameful. And those of you that read this and say “Oh no, Not {fill in council members name}!” I’m sorry to tell you, you are being played.
The village manager is paid a big salary to manage the village. She messed up hugely here. Her sense of invincibility was fueled by the incessant praise of Albert, Paul, and Gwenn.
to 8:16 – Yes, you moron, Resolutions are drafted before they are voted on. But when they are voted on and signed, then they are law. And the one that was signed indicated NO FEES and TWO YEARS. You can defend Roberta until you are blue in the face, but she messed up here and there is not escaping that FACT.
Imagine how many opportunities were possibly lost, while they were flogging the Garazilla Ark to hell ,, meanwhile town and roads etc going to seed..while the Blog screaming bloody murder
to right the Ship…was beat down by the hacks , who could not believe that the little people just cried for one honest day a week , even if declared as Sunday while the town manages were not eating our cheese…like the coin boy crime ,so many of the cover ups being aired in all their rot.
The Fact that another parking issue surfaces tells us so much ,that they didn’t care one fig..that they knew better, and history does not tolerate endless alt-facts,Owners will just move..
5:57 could you post before you start drinking so we can have a clue what you are trying to say?
For all those keeping score at home, the post at 11:03 am is good example of what those doing the playing expect from those being played. Well done, drone! Excellent recitation of previously approved talking points! Now go cut another tax payment check like a good little lamb. We need some extra money to tear up the only new pavement in town at the train station. We must not upset Dear Leader!
Keeping score? Sounds like a math teacher. Hmmmmm. . .
