President Evenson's Timesheets
I sent an email to the finance committee on 09/06/06, regarding the misrepresentation of a meeting on President Evenson's July 2006 Timesheet

I received a response from Trustee Siegler on 09/08/06 (-->Click Here to Read Siegler's Response, and my Reply<--), but it only served to raise more questions with me, so I replied.
I received no follow up from Trustee Siegler, so I sent the following email to all of the village trustees:
Village Biron Trustees,
On September 6th, 2006 I sent an email to the members of the finance committee expressing my concern over a meeting per diem President Jon Evenson claimed for July 5, 2006.
While I received a response from Trustee Siegler, I felt that response was insufficient, and in fact it raised more questions, instead of addressing my concern. So I replied to Siegler's email with my questions.
I sent my reply on September 8, 2006 and have received no response addressing my questions and concerns. I feel I have waited an adequate amount of time for a response, and as such am bringing my concerns to the attention of the full board.
My concern is twofold.
First, The meeting that took place on July 5th, 2006 was listed on Evenson's meeting timesheet as "Meeting with Spyros Heniadis RE: Artwork Display". We did not discuss artwork display during that meeting. What we did discuss was my personal response to the FERC DEA regarding to the proposed Bridgewater Development. I believe that that discussion did not fall within the scope of authority or function of the village president.
Second, In the response I received from Trustee Siegler it was indicated that the finance committee had already reviewed and approved the timesheet in question and that despite my concerns, she felt there was no issue with it. I however feel that there is an issue with this timesheet. Evenson submitted this timesheet with full knowledge of the fact that we did not discuss artwork display at this meeting, completely misrepresenting the content and purpose of the meeting on his timesheet, and claiming a per diem that I believe he was not within his rights to claim.
I find it hard to believe that in the course of filling out his timesheet that Evenson didn't recall the actual content of the meeting versus the content he represented on the timesheet. I also find it difficult to accept the idea that it is OK for the president of the village to misrepresent a meeting on his timesheet, as indicated by the lack of concern in Trustee Siegler's response.
I believe that Evenson should be required to reimburse the $40 per diem for this particular meeting to the village and that proper attention should be given to this issue.
Thank you,
Spyros Heniadis
