Board reviews Inspector General report on counsel and unanimously votes to retain him
Summary
The Chicopee Retirement Board received an Inspector General investigation report concerning long‑time counsel Michael Sacco and voted unanimously to continue retaining him, citing confidence in his ethical standards and professionalism.
During new business the board received and discussed an investigation report from the Office of the Inspector General concerning Board counsel Michael Sacco. The minutes state the board reviewed the report and, after deliberation, "unanimously agreed to continue retaining his services, expressing confidence that he will continue to represent the Board with the same ethical standards, professionalism, and moral character he has consistently demonstrated over the last 19 years."
The minutes record no further details about the content of the Inspector General report in the public meeting minutes, nor do they record dissenting votes. The board’s action was recorded as a unanimous decision to retain counsel; no follow‑up assignments or changes in counsel status are listed in the minutes. Because the minutes summarize the board’s deliberation without reproducing the Inspector General report, the public record here reflects the board’s decision and statement of confidence rather than findings or allegations in the IG report itself.
