Selectmen review redlined ethics‑code changes; Town Manager to circulate final draft
Summary
The Board discussed edits to Town Code Chapter 13 (Ethics), including how elected and appointed bodies are treated and whether wording should explicitly reference the Town Manager as it does the Superintendent of Schools; Town Manager will provide a revised final draft before a future approval vote.
The Board continued review of draft amendments to Town Code Chapter 13, the town's ethics code. Town Manager Marc Nelson said the Town Attorney had reviewed the draft "subject to any changes tonight" and staff circulated a red‑lined version. Discussion focused on distinctions between elected and appointed boards and commissions, proposed removals in section language, and whether the Town Manager should be explicitly named alongside the Superintendent of Schools in one clause dealing with ethical concerns for employees.
No final vote was taken. Mr. Nelson said he would distribute a final draft of the redline changes to the Board for review before formal approval. Board members thanked staff and the Town Attorney for work on clarifications and recommended further discussion on the appointed-vs‑elected treatment in the ordinance.
