Board reads attorney letter and says residency concerns about a member were unfounded
Summary
The superintendent read a letter from the board attorney addressing a public complaint about whether a board member lived in the borough; after the attorney's review the concerns were characterized in the transcript as unfounded.
During the Jan. 10 meeting the superintendent read a letter from the board attorney about a public complaint raised at the prior meeting concerning whether a board member resided in the borough they represent. The superintendent told the board that the attorney investigated the concern and concluded the allegations were unfounded.
The superintendent summarized the attorney’s finding for the record, noting the complainant had asked whether a board member was required to "live in the borough they served." The superintendent said he initially responded in the affirmative but clarified that the requirement does not mean the board member must "sleep every night at his or her residence." The transcript records that the public complainant informed the superintendent after the attorney's investigation and that the concerns were found to be without merit.
No formal motion or disciplinary action followed from the reading; the item was entered for the record and the meeting moved on to other business.
