The Clerk's part of a Village board meeting is not usually vocal, but at the September meeting of the Enfield Village board, Clerk Kayla Weaver wanted to clear the air, presumably due to questions she was getting;
"Before we start tonight's meeting, I want to briefly clear the air about how items are placed on our village agenda. Specifically, last month's water rate review. There was confusion, including claims that the items shouldn't have been included on old business, or that it appeared unexpectedly. To be clear, the council was entirely correct to include it.
Months ago, the council voted, on the public record, to review water rates every quarter. Last month was the scheduled quarter, so the review was properly listed under old business according to Robert's rules. It stays off the agenda during off months to keep things clean, but when the designated quarter arrives, it must return so we can do our jobs.
