Vernon Has A Strong-Council Weak-Mayor Form of Government?
Vernon's Mayor Apel cancelled Monday's and Tuesday's recycling pick-ups when a holiday is on a Monday without informing or consulting the Town Council, which has a Republican Majority.
By Charter, yes, but you wouldn't know it the way Mayors (of both parties) act. The latest example, Vernon's Mayor Apel cancelled recycling pick-ups for 40 percent of Vernon when Monday is a holiday, without informing or consulting the Town Council which has a Republican majority!
The new policy was poorly publicized, which is why there are recycling bins at the curbs all over Vernon waiting for a pick-up which is almost a week away.
