E2 Gowanda HS Library: Second. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Any discussion? Do you know him? I do. Tom is a longtime member of Erie, too.

003her. E2 Gowanda HS Library: All in favor? Aye. E2 Gowanda HS Library: 204, and make a consideration motion to vote and approve Kimberly Higgins to serve as a member of the Erie II Chicago Cataractus Board of Cooperative Education Services. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So moved. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Second. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Any discussion? E2 Gowanda HS Library: She's new to the board, so I don't have a great rapport with her. E2 Gowanda HS Library: That's good. E2 Gowanda HS Library: All in favor? Aye.

E2 Gowanda HS Library: I know him. I know him. I think everybody knows him. Yeah, he's very
004impressive to deal with. Yeah, he's been a joy to deal with when we were… yeah, he's fun. He's a good guy. He's been doing it for a while, so… E2 Gowanda HS Library: All in favor? Aye. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Excess to 206. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Consideration of a motion to vote and approve Christine Schnardis to serve as a member of the Erie 2 Chautauqua Cateragus Board of Cooperative Education Services. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Second. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Any discussion? E2 Gowanda HS Library: Another fine candidate. She's fantastic. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Yep. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Awesome. All in favor? Aye. E2 Gowanda HS Library: We did want to, just have a quick conversation about, Meet the Candidates Night. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Do we want to hold back this year? E2
005Gowanda HS Library: I think it's a good idea if there's 2 seats open and 3 people running. E2 Gowanda HS Library: We have, Zach is running again, and we have Amy Granott is running, and then Brandon Newell is running. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So, if you guys would like to hold it… Sure. I don't think a lot of people, I mean… E2 Gowanda HS Library: There's a select group, I know it's Amy. E2 Gowanda HS Library: But there's a lot of people that don't know her at all of them. E2 Gowanda HS Library: House is willing to do it if the board wants it. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think it'd be beneficial. I'm good with it. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think it's always nice to… E2 Gowanda HS Library: You know, get information
006out and let the public make their, you know, decision that way. E2 Gowanda HS Library: And we typically have held it right after that first board meeting in May, after everyone hears about the budget and everything, then we talk about the candidates. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So, do we want to shoot for the 7th? E2 Gowanda HS Library: Potentially. E2 Gowanda HS Library: You have to be here, you do not have to. E2 Gowanda HS Library: See, is it enough time to get, everything? I can get it advertised. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So, check with Jay and see what it is. E2 Gowanda HS Library: That works for him. Yeah, I would make sure it's good with Kiwanis, and then make sure it's good with the candidates, right? Just with a short turnaround out here
007to not give everybody a fair opportunity, but it works for everybody, I think. So, so we would probably have to do it, the 7th, or within that following week. I'm thinking to stay away from Fridays, which we have E2 Gowanda HS Library: traditionally done, just because we might not get to people. So, okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'll get it set up. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Sorry. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Does anybody else have anything before I make a motion to adjourn the meeting? Well, welcome! Sorry. That being said, I make a consideration of the motion to adjourn special meeting. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Favor? Aye. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I feel like we didn't have the conversation on that anyway. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I honestly didn't want to participate in that conversation.
