Two members of the <br /> Board of Health have an apparent potential conflict of interest in the bid <br /> selection process. To obtain quorum,the Board of Health has opted to <br /> utilize the rule of necessity to implement the selection process after <br /> consulting the State Ethics Commission. <br /> As an alternative to the utilization of the rule of necessity, Selectman <br /> Leveille suggested the Board form a selection committee to implement the <br /> process. The make-up of the committee was discussed. <br /> Mr. Whritenour indicated that he is expected to obtain a legal ruling on <br /> this regard from Town Counsel. For the record, Selectman Leveille <br /> indicated that the Board of Selectmen do not favor using the rule of <br /> necessity to award the Transfer Station contract. <br /> Motion made by Selectman Leveille to form a selection committee <br /> comprised of the Board of Health Agent,a Board of Health member <br /> without conflict,the Director of Public Works, Selectman Cabalane, <br /> and Selectman Leveille for the purpose of awarding the bid for the <br /> Transfer Station contract. <br /> Motion seconded by Selectman Taylor. <br /> VOTE: Unanimous. 4-0. <br /> Mr. Whritenour was authorized to coordinate said committee on behalf of <br /> the Board of Selectmen,draft a memo to the State Ethics Commission <br /> with respect to the Selectmen's opinion, and obtain a legal ruling from <br /> Town Counsel with respect to this regard. <br />
