Wi-Fi moving along
with a Tip of the Hat to its Critics
I have been and remain interested in our
village having Wi
Fi and have attended many Wi Fi Committee
meetings. My
looking forward to having Wi Fi
did not cloud my
appreciation for the criticism of the work of
the committee
leveled by people who spoke against it.
Although I think
that some of these were truly aiming their
opposition at the
primary proponent of Wi Fi, David Israel.
Still other
criticism of the direction the committee was
moving were
to my mind worthy of consideration and helped
to abort
the initial search for a vendor
The most recent committee meeting shows how
right
the critics were having brought about a new
search effort that
should serve us well, as the committee has
formulated a
new R.F.P to be presented to new and
additional potential
vendors, with a 90 day response time - it has
declared it’
intent to locate an experienced attorney with
the expertise
to review any vendor contract - it has
designated UCO
Treasurer Howard O’Brien as the contact
person on this
project - and it is considering locating a
person with the
expertise and experience to serve as Project
Manager.
Many of these items were offered by those
critics of the
original search as needing to be addressed
and now they
are. Still there remains a long way to go. We
can’t know
where this new search effort will take us. I
for one am
hoping to see it bring us Wi Fi , but am
prepared to listen
again to critics and judge for myself.

ReplyDeleteMaybe someday people will realize, like you, that criticism of David Israel is not arising from malice, but out of concern for the Village and for a way to do things better. There has been too much bad stuff going on, too much careless waste of monies that belong to the Village residents and not to UCO officers to do with as they please.
ReplyDeleteThank you George for bringing an unbiased opinion to this blog. I am happy to know that some of the naysayers heard us and are taking the right road to obtain W-Fi in the village. This is one of the reasons it is so important to have opposition; without it, you have the danger of one person making decisions for all of us. In spite of the fact that David Israel and his slate won the election, our voices have been heard.
