The Sharon Board of Selectmen on June 23 authorized First Selectman Flanagan to negotiate and execute a Land Use Consulting Services Agreement with a consultant drafted by Tracey Abut and reviewed by Attorney DiBella.

The draft, as recorded in the minutes, describes one day per week of service at $42.00 per hour to assist with the transition of the Land Use Administrator. The minutes note the consultant would not be a town employee and therefore would not be covered under the town's liability insurance. Mr. Brett moved to authorize the First Selectman to negotiate and execute the contract; Ms. Kearcher seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously.

During discussion the board agreed that if there are major changes to the contract terms, First Selectman Flanagan will return to the board for further approval. The minutes identify Attorney DiBella as having reviewed the draft agreement; the minutes do not record the consultant's name beyond the drafter or a start date for services.
