It’s that time again. Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the rec center the open discussion time will begin with the formal meeting set to begin at 7. We hope many of you will be in attendance but for any of you unable to attend we will as usual have an unofficial synopsis of the major actions of the meeting.
You will recall the push by some to put the question of incorporation on a ballot was defeated in court a week ago. It appears a new tactic is already starting. One of the original incorporation supporters has asked to have placed on the agenda a request to have a vote by the property owners included with the board election mailing next year. The questions would be incorporation related, asking P.O.s opinion of the idea. This is after the end run trying to incorporate without regard for property owner wishes. Now it seems their opinion matters.
We all know this is nothing but a way to keep the idea alive and it will stir dissention again in our community. All three surrounding villages gave a resounding NO when asked for the necessary permission. All the three board votes were unanimous. How will the P.O. vote change that? The villages must work in the best interest of their respective communities and they have, clearly. Let this thing die a natural death and cool off the community at least for now. Down the road situations and opinions may change. In our current environment this will only light the fuse.
The Candlewick Pride will continue to protect the rights of the property owners. Some asked if after the court ruling we would be disbanding. Not a chance. We are here for the long haul, working for an ever improving community we can all enjoy.
