41:06 Item #38-2018 Review of Proposed Revisions to the Code of Ethics

At the December 14, 2017 town council workshop Town Attorney Thomas Leahy provided an overview of FOAA, conflicts of interest and bias. During the workshop it was a consensus of the town council to ask Mr. Leahy to review the Town Council Rules and Code of Ethics and suggest amendments to closer align the two documents relating to conflicts of interest.

Questions included - What rises to the level of an actual vote for a “disclosure” of information or an “appearance” of a conflict of interest? Currently is the council “over disclosing” relationships that are not financial conflicts of interest? Can a disclosure of information suffice without a vote?

The town council may adopt, edit, refer back to the town attorney for further review or refer to the
next regular meeting.

45:10 Item #39-2018 2018 Town Council Goals - Draft

The review of goals began at the December 14, 2017 workshop; the draft is based on the workshop discussion.
