7/20/2026 Town Council meeting discussion regarding the legitimacy of a specific legal subcommittee. Councilor Bouchard questions the delay of a report that was originally expected earlier in the month. Chairperson Ron Dunn responds by confirming that a formal legal opinion has been obtained to validate the subcommittee’s existence. According to this opinion, the town charter permits the council to assign its power to such a group, provided the full council retains control over financial expenditures. The dialogue concludes with a request for a written copy of this legal finding so that further questions can be addressed. These excerpts highlight concerns over administrative transparency and the proper delegation of authority within municipal governance.
A request by the TownUnderground filed on 7/21/2026 for a copy of the opinion has not been acknowledged by the Town Council Chairman.
