Resident raises conflict-of-interest concern over township attorney representing board member
Summary
During public comment a resident, Christopher Raymond, asked why the township attorney appears to be representing a board member on a Board of Education matter and said it could be a conflict of interest; he said he plans to raise the issue at the next council meeting.
Christopher Raymond, a resident who identified himself for the record, raised concerns during public comment about potential conflicts of interest in legal representation.
Raymond said he had observed the township attorney, Mr. Burke, representing a board member (Matarazzo) on a board matter and asked why the township attorney would represent a board member rather than the board. He stated his view that "that would ... be a conflict of interest" and said he planned to raise the question at the next council meeting.
The presiding officer thanked the speaker and the meeting moved on; the transcript records the comment but no board response or formal action from the board on that allegation was recorded in this meeting.
