Ok!!! I was able to spend some quality time with my Dad, so I took a break from facebook.

I started with our elected official's statutory duties. Posted the Supervisor duties in the last month. One important fact I'd like to point out, the Supervisor is only "Supervisor " of the Board Meeting. Alot of residents believe this position is the head honcho. Not so. The system was designed to give each official certain duties and each a vote in all decisions. When working together, its a beautiful thing!!!
