In the front page story of the June 15 edition of the Wellington Advertiser, there was a misinterpretation of a portion of Erin Mayor Lou mayor’s report regarding the costs and approval process for the retirement party for town manager Lisa Hass.
It should have read, “Talk of the celebration has spread through the town, and the mayor has been asked questions, either by residents who attended, those who wished to attend or were not invited, or by those who just heard about the celebrations afterwards.”
As such, the list of questions were from members of the public.
The mayor also stated, “Absolutely a celebration (recognition) of some fashion should have occurred, but how this all came about without council approval is concerning on a procedure/policy basis.”
For the report of the questions asked please refer to the Wellington Advertiser website www.wellingtonadvertiser.com and the specific item itself under the “Buzz” or “Erin” tabs or click here.
Discussion deferred again
Although originally set for further discussion on June 19, the retirement issue deferred from the June 5 meeting is now being further deferred until July 17 due to the mayor’s work responsibilities and personal matters.
