Throughout the discussion, members debate whether to initiate an\u00a0immediate formal investigation\u00a0or wait for guidance from\u00a0legal counsel. Councilors Paul and Bouchard express frustration over perceived\u00a0delays, arguing that the public deserves\u00a0transparency\u00a0and swift action based on prior precedents. Conversely, Chairman Dunn\u00a0repeatedly blocks motions for an inquiry, insisting that moving forward without\u00a0professional legal advice\u00a0could jeopardize the lawful process. The meeting concludes in a\u00a0deadlock, with the\u00a0Town Manager\u00a0asserting his duty to enforce the charter as the council prepares for a future meeting with an attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will note that Chairman Dunn stated that the Council has spoken to legal about this matter. Chairman Dunn also stated that all four town councilors present were aware of the reasons why the were not moving forward.
