INVITATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT/QUESTIONS
Mayor Mang asked if any one wished to be heard.
Elaine Greco of 105 Argonne Drive commented on where the caucus should be held. Ms. Greco does not feel it is respectful to the Village of Kenmore to hold it in a bar. Ms. Greco also recommended rather than voting by a show of hands, a secret ballot may be less intimidating. Ms. Greco suggested that a notice should be posted ten days prior and should be posted in a better location where it would be more accessible to the public. Ms. Greco also feels candidates should have more time then the same night so it is not as time sensitive.
As no one else wished to be heard the meeting was adjourned.
The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be September 1, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building.
