Without Paonia Mayor Neal Schwieterman nor town attorney Jim Briscoe, the Paonia Town Council met in a special meeting last Friday morning. The plan by the mayor and town attorney was to have the mayor pro tem open the special meeting, have a trustee on the finance committee read a prepared statement about going into an executive session, adjourn to the private conference room to meet with auditor Peter Blair of Blair and Associates and then reconvene the public meeting and adjourn without any public announcement about findings from the 2011 audit.
