Will this be the shortest town board meeting ever?

That's it - One page.  Drinking water from a fire hose, or lapping water from a dripping fountain?

I realize it's almost summer, and I recognize half the board is new, but there is "easing in", and then there is mailing it in.  The agenda would indicate this may be the shortest board meeting ever, including the one where the town hall caught on fire and they had to evacuate after the pledge.

The packet is 42 pages, of which 20 pages are a slam-dunk contract approval for the trolleys, 10 pages are what will end up being a 7-0 vote in favor of the Raven Rock plat approval, 4 pages are intentionally blank, and any remaining pages are meeting minutes from earlier meetings or other committees or boards.

Hope CDIV has something interesting to say about the homeless or a new committee he's forming, because otherwise, there is no reason for anyone other than a quorum to bother showing up.

Update after the 19 minute and 15 second meeting:  If the pledge of allegiance tempo wasn't so ponderously slow, the town board meeting could have wrapped up in 16 minutes, and one minute faster if two trustees didn't get sidetracked discussing the consumption and authenticity of crickets.  Mostly Frank talking about coffee stains on pull-down trays and how that gives passengers the impression that the United CEO allows coffee stains on their jet engines, or something.  In any event, don't place live pets in the overhead bins was the most important take-home I took in the comfort of my own home from this mini-meeting.  From the only pan beyond the trustees, it appeared even our town attorney didn't bother showing up for a pro-rated $200 walk in the park.  My prediction was wrong, the Raven Rock plat approval vote was only 6-0, because Mayor Pro-Tem Cody Walker got stuck behind a slow-moving wide load at the library traffic light and arrived after the meeting had already adjourned.
