Residents raise concerns about 6 p.m. meeting time; Random Lake board takes no action
Summary
A resident complaint about the village's 6 p.m. meeting start prompted discussion about accessibility and recruitment of future candidates. Trustees acknowledged the difficulty for some residents but made no change to meeting time.
A complaint about the Village Board’s 6 p.m. meeting time prompted discussion at Random Lake’s April 20 meeting but no policy change.
Trustee Blaine Werner said he had received a resident letter reporting that some people cannot attend at 6 p.m., and that the resident then received a phone call that contradicted the complaint. Trustee Barbara Ruege acknowledged that meeting times changed for board convenience but said it can make attendance harder for residents who work farther away and "may deter future candidates from running for office." The board discussed the concerns and chose not to change the meeting time.
The exchange was recorded under general discussion with no formal motion to alter meeting times.
