Lebanon has scheduled three public and not-so-public meetings on Thursday evening, tomorrow, over the same time period ? Turf meeting at concession stand or skating lobby, the National Register District nomination, and a "Newcomers Tax" meeting for those affected. I think there may also a Parking Facility Advisory Board meeting as well. <br /><br />Is this all by accident or intentional design to minimize public attendance at each ? <br /><br />It has become impossible to trust elected and appointed officials here any more.

There wasn't one person there who was in favor of artificial turf. We all had our reasons why we were opposed to it, but all of us agreed that there was no outreach. One resident said that we get LeboALERTS about what movie will be shown at the swimming pool, but nothing about this. <br /><br />Next meeting is the one on Thursday, April 24, sent to people within 200 feet of the fields. This "not for the general public" meeting starts at 6 PM at the concession stand building at the fields on Cedar. In case of inclement weather, the "not for the general public" meeting will be moved to the lobby of the ice rink.<br /><br />Again, thank you everyone!!!<br />ElaineLebo Citizenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936908236243700005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395310382514169324.post-79967838739382873852014-04-22T12:33:22.472-04:002014-04-22T12:33:22.472-04:00What was that first word, 12:26 PM?

Mt. Lebanon earned recognition for, among other things, "Using an environmental sustainability board". There are many variables to consider with respect to the comprehensive plan that dispute the installation of artificial turf.

I guess nothing can stop this plan to install toxic turf since the commissioners approved this on November 25, 2013. You remember, when Kristen lied about the ESB's position on artificial turf, when there was no public hearing for this action, no notification of the vote on any mtl media such as LeboALERT, Twitter, Facebook, lebomag.com, Linfante's blog, Brumfield's blog, or Franklin's blog? <br />ElaineLebo Citizenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936908236243700005noreply@blogger.com
