1 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes—Verbatim <br /> September 11, 2000 <br /> Facilitator Discussion: <br /> Selectman Leveille: A brief discussion followed with respect to the five names that <br /> were submitted as potential facilitators. Kopelman and Paige will <br /> be requested to update the Board. (Start) We are not having an <br /> awful lot of success as some of the potential candidates don't like <br /> to put resumes out for some reason so it might come down to really <br /> an interview process with this folks, so that is kind of where we <br /> stand on our portion at this point. <br /> We also received correspondence from the Mashpee Wampanoag <br /> Indian Tribal Council, two letters indicating that they had, which <br /> I'm sure you've read about in the newspaper, an August 21" letter <br /> and an August 31� letter received on August 31 sc indicating that <br /> they have identified some potential facilitators, James Vaccaro, <br /> Patrick Field and two gentlemen from End Dispute of Boston, <br /> Mass., they are Eric Vanleeuwen, and Samuel Hoar. So we have <br /> that correspondence. <br /> We also have correspondence from the Tribal Council forwarding <br /> the results from the survey that was conducted that they <br /> commissioned and their topic of conversation recommends that <br /> a request from the Selectmen to provide a resolution for an <br /> uncommitted,... I will read it so you will know, <br /> The Tribal Council formally requests the Board of Selectmen to <br /> immediately pass a resolution for the federal recognition of the <br /> Tribe and it formally commits the Town to participate now in the <br /> facilitator negotiation process we have been discussing. Please let <br /> me know as quickly as you can whether you and the other <br /> Selectmen will move and adopt such a resolution, etc. It's signed <br /> Glenn Marshall, President of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal <br /> Council. <br /> So that is where we have been in discussions with this Tribal <br /> recognition issue. <br /> Betty Nichols: Ms. Nichols said she believed that as a Selectman, Chuckie should <br /> not be sitting on this issue... She asked of a potential conflict of <br /> interest with Selectman Green. <br /> Selectman Green was asked to address the question. <br />
