What do you think Wiswell is upset about?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update-now that I went to UVERSE-I do not have the pleasure of popping popcorn and watching your meetings.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I do not have to vacuum the floor from throwing popcorn at y'all (while babbling to myself) and my lovely bride will not question my sanity for watching these meetings.
So here is good one-What is the Census committee? I have a pretty good idea, but thought I would ask.

Do you know what happened to the marketing sub committee?
ReplyDeleteThe website was supposed to be up and running in January... what a disappointment this committee has been.
"What do you think Wiswell is upset about?" Probably his assignments - losing his spot on Public Safety perhaps. We only got the appointments at the time of the meeting, so maybe the lack of time to consider the appointments.
ReplyDeleteIt is natural to be less than perfectly pleased with your assigments. I don't know if anyone ever gets exactly what they ask for. Some assignments are more choice than others.
Should the council exercise its power to revise the appointments? Generally, I'd say 'no' because it would really open a can of worms.
Some communities give the council president power to make some of the appointments.
"Do you know what happened to the marketing sub committee?"
ReplyDeleteNope. My recollection is that was not a council-created body.
The vendor has failed to deliver the web site on a timely basis. I don't think anyone is happy with that.
Census committee? We were infoirmed that we are required to create a census committee. The idea is to promote the importance of getting everyone counted.
ReplyDeleteHP, I'm glad to hear you are not wasting good popcorn or energy to vacuum!
Why was the marketing committee a bust??
ReplyDeleteIt didn't have council support, of course!
One learns quickly that without the fore-concluded council support you will get nowhere........
Newcomers beware.
"Why was the marketing committee a bust??

Hmmm. That's puzzling. What makes you think that the council did not support the marketing subcomm?
My recollection is that the council agreed to hire the company they recommended and authorized money for the contract. True, the slogo was not well received, but that was only part of that subcomm's work.
I think the restaurant videos on youtube were a great idea.
