As the time comes for June meetings, we anxiously await the meeting agenda's. It has been since May 24th since the last meeting and the minutes for this will not be approved until June 14th meeting times. However, according to the Village Web Site, the meeting minutes from April 26, May 10, and May 24th have yet to be approved.
While construction season is at it's peak, we need to carefully watch the summer approvals of construction dollars, as these are costs that can be easily inflated to accommodate campaign contributions.
Last year we uncovered a story about the lowest bidder getting a project, but adding expenses on later as additional bills. Therefore, they were not the lowest bidders after all. We found a pattern to this throughout the last few years of FOIAed invoices. Examples included trees for $800 when we could buy the same tree, same height, quality etc. from a local business for $300.
So we are watching... as always.
