The Town Clerk made the board aware of some issues that had gone on in the Town Hall the day before and why the doors were locked.
There was discussion that some upgrades to our locks were necessary so the doors could stay locked at all times and people could be buzzed into the Town Hall upon arrival and identification.
After much discussion the board wants to make sure they are following the Town Ethics Law.
A motion was entertained by Councilman Lamb and seconded by Supervisor Graham to have the Town Attorney review the Ethics Law and the Ethics Board’s opinion given about the formal complaint at hand. The board would like the Attorney to write a letter with the town’s position to the individual named in the complaint. Motion carried.
