13 <br /> Board of Selectmen <br /> Minutes <br /> October 30, 2000 <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Discussion of Use of Legal Resources: (continued) <br /> Selectman Taylor: Well, I don't agree with that...In speaking with Mr. <br /> Marshall last week, I did not get that impression. Obviously, you are a <br /> little closer to the situation than I am, but, I feel like, if we use, who ever <br /> we use, to just get information, that is my main thing, is information. It is <br /> not a legal battle at this point, of any means. We are not even close to <br /> that. But, for me, its more, I don't know how you can make, I haven't had <br /> any information from either side for a month, two months, I don't know. <br /> So, I just want, I just want to get information so that if I have to make <br /> decisions, I can make a formal decision, and not just make, what I believe <br /> in. So in my point of view, that is what the use of this legal situation came <br /> from. <br /> Selectman Green: I am just bringing this up to the Board because the <br /> Tribal Council body has directed Mr. Marshall not to sit down and discuss <br /> with him. We are bound by that, so, I can't see as how that, unless a <br /> change in the Tribal bodies vote would give him the authority to come and <br /> sit down. I'm just trying to keep the door open. <br /> Selectman Taylor: I don't believe we slammed it. <br /> Selectman Leveille: I'd like to make sure that everybody knows this, <br /> especially when I made the statement the other day, I'm not going to try to <br /> quote it, but, we spoke about tolerance and further, with the Tribal <br /> Council, we talked about building bridges,... but most importantly where <br /> ever this thing goes, we need to have legal representation. We've got to <br /> have our legal representation. We totally shouldn't be without it...we are <br /> just fooling around here, ineffectively.. we are probably wasting our <br /> taxpayers dollars by doing that and certainly wasting our time....there is a <br /> certain amount of endangerment....I will pick up the phone and call legal <br /> counsel. That's a fact. <br /> Selectman Green: ...there are things the Board needs to consider and think <br /> about. <br />
