News from Patrick Flynn

As already reported in our local paper, I sent the following e-mail to the municipal clerk this afternoon:

Madam Clerk,

Please distribute this to all members.

I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Wheeler this afternoon and discuss his report and our follow-up to it.  At this point I would like to cancel our work session on this subject (scheduled for January 8 ) while continuing our work on suggestions stemming from that effort [e.g. ordinance(s) clarifying and standardizing fiscal reporting requirements].  To the extent our efforts require continued contributions from the Municipal Attorney’s office or other Administration officials I would gently remind my colleagues to please ensure they respect any confidentiality applied to those communications in order to minimize the municipality’s liability risk.

I welcome any questions and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Regards,

Patrick Flynn
