<br /> Board of Health, Meeting, Minutes, January 28 , 1985
<br /> I asked him to send me a letter telling Arte that if the Commission got the
<br /> tapes, they would reproduce them and return thea to us. He sent me this
<br /> **letter dated January 18th which was received at my office on January 21st.
<br /> I spoke to him today and he gave me his personal assurance today, a personal
<br /> guarantee today that this taping would be done and the original of the tapes
<br /> would be seat back to us and they would keep a copy of them. I asked hire,
<br /> b the way .if he was oink t listen to all f the tapes himself and he said
<br /> � � lengthy,
<br /> Yes. I would submit if there are eight tapes and they are fairly
<br /> aren't they, this would take several hours
<br /> CHL: "The only thine that bothers me is that the Board should decide whether
<br /> the Baor'd wants to go and hand over the tapes or not, that' s why we invited
<br /> you here tonight. " I did not want to make that decision as the Chair.
<br /> T well listen I think it' s very important that this record of this meet-
<br /> ing indicated that my instructions to communicate to Mr. Hughes, what i have
<br /> communicated to him, did not come from you, they carne from the Selectmen,
<br /> and you were not privvy to this.
<br /> FB: No, they did not come from me and I had s o en to Ir. 'wi l son about it.
<br /> T C You and Roy felt this - was not an appropriate thing, to lose these tapes.
<br /> FB: No
<br /> T Y-ou figured you might nearer get them back.
<br /> RLW* What' s right.
<br /> CHL: well, there ' s two things that bother me as a member of the Board
<br /> 1 n the way that they conduct themselves, the Ethics Committee,
<br /> the way they carne in and told everybody not to speak about it and
<br /> everything else, that ' s a bunck of crock, because -that doesn' t mean
<br /> anything.
<br /> Charlie was even that assumption when he got the subpoena for
<br /> the tape, I didn 't even know about the- -------------thing. You know.
<br /> � � anything �.se
<br /> Now, I wouldn't do anything to hold u the tapes nor ani g ,
<br /> I really don't give a damn if they want to sit and listen to sixteen
<br /> hours or tame, let thea listen to it. The only thine I have to go on
<br /> record as saying, not for myself, per se, but for the board in toto,
<br /> alright, all of s'. We take a. . . .thine can be taken out of context
<br /> on tape, when you do not know the background of things, alright and.
<br /> that' s what bothers me than there ' s some guy sitting up in Boston
<br /> and this guy Hughes who doesn't have a brain in his head, as far as
<br /> I 'm concerned, . sits up theme and is reading these tapes or -is listen-
<br /> ing to these tees, so the next thing you hear is. . . saw so and so,
<br /> and this happened, this might have happened two weeks prior and this
<br /> person on the Board brings up information on it, they weren' t acting
<br /> as an agent, he was bringing information to the Board. I think every
<br /> board in this town has this iDroblem, � think we've discussed this
<br /> Charlie, the Selectmen, Personnel, Planning any of thea, people make
<br /> comments sometime kiddingly, I 'm not worried about what I said, but I
<br /> just want these people to know that this Board is very close and has
<br /> worked together for to long time and that we have a lot of information
<br /> that we share back and forth, not for record, not for Public Record,
<br /> and you' ll hear it on these tapes, and I think -they' e got to take
<br /> that into consideration,
<br />
