There must be some penalty or else a faction of trustee could simply stop showing up until the rest of the board knuckled under to what they wanted. Perhaps Michael Waller should look into this if these trustees don't show up at the next meeting.redtailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04897293127607820203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-89352561040068243882009-05-31T23:04:39.258-05:002009-05-31T23:04:39.258-05:00This may not be a violation of the letter of the O...This may not be a violation of the letter of the Open Meetings Act, but it certainly seems to be a violation of its spirit. At some point they will have to show up for a meeting, presumably. Is there a provision in the law to remove village trustees from office if they miss a certain number of meetings?Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543583197097665761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309311177399464085.post-14886263060835906412009-05-31T22:25:55.808-05:002009-05-31T22:25:55.808-05:00Hi TA, that's a good point -- it did not occur to ...Hi TA, that's a good point -- it did not occur to me. <br /><br />For all I know, Ponio may very well have called Rabattini.

Trustee A can call Trustee B, and then Trustee B can call Trustee C, and talk about any village business they want, as long as the coversation is not between three at the same time. Whether they are otherwise acting unethically or improperly in this particular case I can't tell you as I'm not from Island Lake and not familiar with the facts. But I do know the OMA.Team Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035504738668036802noreply@blogger.com
