If you had dialed into the Witless Bay special meeting Friday night, January 28, you would have found yourself waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
After 15 or 20 minutes of listening to conference call muzak, you might have checked the town’s website for an update. Not seeing anything posted there, you may have headed over to facebook — if you have an account — where you would have seen a post made less then five minutes before the scheduled meeting was supposed to start saying it had been rescheduled to Sunday night.
On the agenda were two new items: an application to ACOA for cost shared funding under the Canada Community Revitalization Fund and an amendment to the 2022 Town of Witless Bay Tax Structure, Rates, and Fees.
The Irish Loop Post was not in attendance for Sunday night’s meeting, but contacted the town hall Monday morning, January 31, to see what the motions entailed, and if they had been passed. No response was received and no response was made after the Town Hall was contacted twice again later in the week. The Irish Loop Post also contacted Mayor Trevor Croft about the motions and was told that office personnel should have the information.
As of deadline Tuesday, February 8, no response has been received from the Town Hall.
