Taylor Lake Village City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve the appointment of Council Member Lilian Norman-Keeney as the mayor pro tem. 

The city council unanimously to send a letter to approximately 50 residents with outstanding permits that have been issued for projects that have not been completed, informing them that they will be given a grace period of 30 days to schedule an appointment for final inspection.  If final inspections are completed within 60 days, then the fee for filing a new permit application will be waived.

The city council voted unanimously to table action on a proposed city letter to residents of the Taylor Lake Shores Subdivision pending revision of the letter.

The letter will inform residents of the subdivision of the legal process for installing gates at the subdivision entrances. Kathy Dooley, a representative of the Taylor Lake Shores Homeowners’ Association, spoke in opposition to the letter, calling it the council’s attempt at “micromanagement” and saying that informing residents on the subject of gates is “association business.”  Listen   Download

“This is not a matter of micromanagement; this is a matter of giving information,” said Council Member Laurence Tobin. “We’re not managing anything. I’m just a little bit tired of this game, and I really wish this homeowner’s association would get down here and speak for themselves.”  Listen   Download
