Amendment to Minutes of September 13, 2004
Item 11, Executive Session: Consideration of written citizen communication containing potentially confidential information.
Because the Commission has no professional staff to screen correspondence, Commissioners received and discussed correspondence from a citizen seeking to bring accusation of unethical behavior against certain town officials. Because the Commission was still refining its procedures and thus not yet prepared to accept formal inquiries, but because the Commission wished, as a courtesy to the correspondent, to read the correspondence and determine whether there might be any way in which to more immediately address the concerns expressed, Commissioners read and briefly discussed the correspondence. Commissioners came to agreement that the issue raised could only be treated as a formal Inquiry and only when the Commission would be fully equipped to address Inquiries. No votes were taken. All conclusions
were reached by general agreement, with no objections raised by any commissioner.
Approved by unanimous vote at Ethics Commission meeting of November 14, 2005 on motion made by Commissioner Treacy and seconded by Commissioner Thomas. Commissioners in attendance were Commissioners Sergio, Spier, Treacy and Thomas.
