This Section 5-9 wording will be reviewed at next Committee meeting. <br /> Old Business <br /> Ed Mated that all members of the Committee received Attorney Costello's Opinion on the conflict <br /> of interest question. A copy of Attorney ostello's opinion will be attached to the printed set of <br /> the minutes of this meeting. <br /> glary w ygan commented she contacted State Ethics Commission also and there is no conflict. <br /> Chuck Oasior said he called the Ethics Commission and got same response. Chuck noted <br /> Attorney Opinion said since p sition not paid,then no conflict. Chuck said another issue the <br /> Commission raised is if position becomes elected and the individual is going to spend money to <br /> be elected thea there could be a conflict. If the individual would state they would not spend any <br /> money to get reelected,then no conflict. Chuck said to his case he ran for election for the <br /> Charter Commission and he did not spend any money. He said if position were going to be <br /> elected and if he were going to run,he would declare he would not spend any money and there <br /> would be no conflict. Therefore on this question he said he does not feel he is in any conflict or <br /> any hint of a conflict and can vote on this matter without any reservation. <br /> Discussion <br /> Ed Larkin said under Article 8--Screening Committee it is stated the Screening Committee shall <br /> F <br /> consist of 5 persons—namely,Board of Selearnen to designate 2 members and Town Moderator, . <br /> Finance Committee,and Personnel Board to designate 1 member each. Since there is no <br /> Personnel Board,Ed said he feels Charter Review Committee should submit aBy-Law revision <br /> for this Article to bring up to elate since there is no Personnel Board. Terrie Cook pointed out <br /> Human Resources does all that Personnel Board used to do and she feels it important for Human <br /> Resources to be on this Screening Committee. <br /> 2 <br />
