More Special Meetings Next Week

The amount of attention I have paid to Board of Education doings is minimal, but the impending July 1 deadline to name a permanent superintendent has piqued my interest. I did not see any indication on Tuesday's agenda that the appointment was up for a vote and because I didn't feel well, I saw no point in attending the meeting on the off-chance of a walk-on resolution.

Today Business Administrator Gary Ottmann confirmed for me that there was no vote Tuesday, but an appointment will be on the agenda of a special meeting on June 28. Check the district web page for details to come. Curiously, the web site now has all the questions that were posed to the two finalists, Interim Superintendent Anna Belin-Pyles and Carolyn Gibson, but not any of their answers.

Also on June 28 there will be a special City Council meeting to deal with the 33 liquor licenses currently held in Plainfield. Check the city web site for details. All the licenses are up for renewal by June 30.

On Tuesday the City Council will hold the last of four Town Meetings. The Ward 4 meeting on June 26 is billed as a joint meeting with the Housing Authority of Plainfield. The meeting is 7 p.m. at Jefferson School, 1700 W. Front St. Normally the format of the ward meetings is that of a "listening post" for concerns of citizens and any resident may attend and speak at any of the meetings. Not sure what the format might be if the Housing Authority is included.
