The audio tape of the April 7, 2008 meeting was sent, transcribed, sent back, copied for board members, reviewed by board members, and then put on the April 21 Agenda for board approval.
ALL IN TWO WEEKS!
IF the current Village Board continues to resist doing the right thing and making meetings available (gavel to gavel) on CH25, then the least they can do is make sure they keep this turn around going. I can find examples but for certain there are cases where minutes were not approved for as much as 8 weeks!
KUDOS for this performance, but it still DOES NOT give average Joe Q. Public a chance to see before the subsequent meeting. Perhaps the village website can post a 'provisional' version of the minutes ONLINE so that village activists can have a look to, and possibly comment prior to approval??
Once again, a move in the right direction, but still more can be done.

About Me
- PleasantPrairieWI
- Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, United States
- I am just like you. I want to know what is happening, and I can't always be a village hall, so a ragtag group of citizens will provide this for YOU so you can see with your own eyes and make up you own mind. After years of pleading, the village still refuses to record board meetings for YOU to be ABLE to SEE when YOU want to. Channel 25 belongs to the citizens of Pleasant Prairie and SHOULD be used to show government in ACTION. WHAT DO THEY NOT WANT YOU TO SEE? This BLOG will be the sounding board for www.youtube.com/PleasantPrairieWI. On YOU TUBE you will able to see recordings of village meetings. Then come back here to let everyone know what YOU think about it.

Why does it take months for the Parks Commission, School Commission, and Plan Commission to get the official meeting minutes? I do like that they are posting audio for some meetings but some of the speakers at the last Parks meeting were very difficult to hear.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because he was late for the new start time for Village Board meetings.
April?
