I know I'm suppose to tell people 10 minutes before the library closes that they need to go but I don't. I wait until closing time, let them know, and while I'm doing closing tasks they can wrap up what they are doing. That happened last night so I was a good fifteen minutes late for the town board meeting that starts at 7 p.m. Not a problem. I'd looked at the agenda on-line and two things I wanted to be at the meeting for were towards the end. The board was still going through correspondence when I arrived. Seemed more begging letters from various organizations than usual. Then came the first item of interest to me: the board needs to OK the list of potential poll workers for the next two years. We had a pool of 12 which is the goal I had set but I couldn't resist whispering to Neighbor Vern who was sitting ahead of me that I could still get his name on the list. Vern let me know that wasn't necessary. The second item of interest was the Planning Committee Report delivered by Committee Chairman Roger. The board OK'd every thing we'd suggested in our meeting. Unfortunately they also want us to add something to the driveway/culvert ordinance. Seems too many driveways are not being taken care of and allowing the water on the driveway to flow onto the roadway insead of into the ditches. The board wants to have a process to enforce keeping water from washing out a road. Not sure how to phrase that but I'll do my usual thing and search other town's ordinances to see if any of them address this situation. Why reinvent when you can build on what already works?
