LARGE TURNOUT AT TOWN MEETING

by D Beyer

There was a large turnout at the Nov. 4 Board Meeting. This was the largest turnout ever observed by this writer.

The crowd act like one would expect them to. The were rumors that there would be fireworks as a result of the sudden resignation of the Town Manager over the prior weekend.  

The issue of the resignation came to the floor by statement of the Board President. He described the decision as sudden and part of an overall difficult weekend. Apparently the Manager's husband send threatening emails to the Board and Committee members.

The statement by the President quickly moved to the introduction of our Interim Manager. He made a brief statement of his desire to help us get through some difficult times. He fielded a few questions from the audience to their satisfaction.

Next on the agenda was the subject of $34,000. This amount was cut from the budget. It was recognized that two popular half time employees could lose their jobs. After discussing the issue again the Board voted to restore the funds .

It is believed that next years monthly homeowner dues will not increase. That seemed to put a lot of smiles on people's faces.
