We were informed of serious erosion issues below the Belltower. John S mentioned he's planning on clearing fallen trees, as they cause stream currents to erode the hillside. I asked John of status, and John confirmed this is on his radar and will get to work this/next month. I'm looking forward to hearing his report.

Attended H&R Meeting on 12/13
Sorry for the delay in posting this. December was a crazy month.
I attended Health and Rec on 12/13. We talked about Pool repairs postponed from the Spring. I'm in favor of investing there, as the attendance in 2010 brought in strong revenue. Further, we get feedback that the pool experience isn't what it could be.
Sharing tennis courts with MM Elementary during construction. I'm supportive of this.
Much of the work & decisions will come in subsequent meetings.

Council recap 1/10
I attended Council on 1/10/11 and here's what I saw.
Confirmation of Asst Fire Chief. While I've gone back and forth during Jeff's probationary period, I decided ultimately to vote Yes. I have heard good and bad things re the job he's doing, however I've personally verified some of the good while many of the bad are explainable as out of context. And I like him. He brings an education focus which I think is great.
Ending the year in the black. We'll end our Calendar Year 2010 with the General Fund in the black vs estimates as high as -$300K in the beginning of 2010. This is fantastic. While other accounts are still in trouble (Paramedic Fund), our huge General fund ending +$10-$15K is great.
Council Committees. I am fine to continue to serve on Health and Rec, Public Works, and Rules and Law. I was asked to sit on the Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission which I accepted. This will be new work but I think involvement is minor.
Andy Black as Vice Mayor. Andy's a balanced, thoughtful guy and I happily support him in that role.
I voted in the affirmative on all votes, all procedural except Jeff & Andy, mentioned above.

Losing Paul as Clerk
I'm very disappointed to hear of Paul's moving out of State. This is a big loss for the Village. Sorry to see him go, but I hope he does great in TN.

I've been off the reservation for about a month. I missed both December meetings due to a great Florida vacation. 2011 is here and i'm ready to jump back in.
