Select Board asked to acknowledge KP Law disclosure on county IMA; vote withdrawn for further clarification
Summary
Town counsel disclosed that KP Law represents Barnstable County and multiple Cape towns and sought confirmation that the Select Board had no objection to KP Law reviewing updates to a county intermunicipal agreement; several board members requested more information and the motion was withdrawn and will return after clarification.
KP Law, the town's counsel, provided a disclosure noting the firm also represents Barnstable County and other Cape towns and asked the Select Board to indicate it had no objection to KP Law reviewing updates to an intermunicipal agreement (IMA) for public-health shared services.
Board members questioned whether any scenario could create an actual conflict — for example, negotiations among participating towns — and requested additional documentation or clarification from KP Law. After discussion, a motion acknowledging the disclosure was made but then withdrawn; the board agreed to seek more information and revisit the matter at a subsequent meeting.
