“can fill it out and send it up by a computer or email or whatever and that one you don't have to call them up and get them to give them a heads up uh i wondered about what reports had to do to file um when where and she said no reports at this time we do have to keep a lot of complaints and there's a form on the website that we can use that's actually just for us here uh which town officers have to take the test i'd say just about everything there's a couple of people that like she said like for example the librarian didn't have to take it although i would think that director of the library pr…”

“now as far as the uh code of ethics they had a summary of the code of ethics on the website i did make a copy here and what i would like to see us do is recommend that we use this for our town code of ethics and it doesn't mean we can't add to them if we find a problem whatever but just to get it up and running we do have a municipal uh conflict of interest policy and uh the first part of it here for the recommended ones in the municipal code of ethics is um also we choose on disclosure for conflicts of interest so i would say maybe we could take um our law or our power yeah and put it in here…”

“could make an order yeah this is more a protocol to follow words and ordinance i think would be something we can do later if we have to if we have to firm it up a little um i did see i was actually was given this larry used me uh charter of incompatible law offices and this might be something i don't know whether we should uh somehow incorporate it into the uh into the rules or the ethics rules or whether this is something we would do in order inside but it's something we'll think about we see that sure uh we have to post once we have the municipal code of ethics that has to be posted on the m…”

“let's see as i said how to file a complaint go get the forms and the pretty self-explanatory and fill them out and send them to the commission and they'll review them and if there's any questions or anything for further investigation they'll get back to us now as far as investigating uh the select board can has the right to appoint an investigator or whatever it could be however you wanted to do it may be different that's yours i'm glad to handle that i've done a few investigations in my previous life and i'll be glad to do it and if we want to have maybe one more person i do have”

“but the thing is too when we send it when we send the complaint up to the board what they'll do is go through it and they might say yay and one of the things they um mentioned here it might be um and they might say yay and one of the things they might say yay and one of the things they might say is uh de minimis where it's such a small minor thing that no you know we don't have to work it out yeah right so but uh this here it's uh based on title 17 vsa so i can look that up and see it's like a a grid that you can use”

“really need if you like i said if you look at you can't have weaker language you can't have weaker language right right but they're very much whatever they're almost saying they're really not that much difference so can you get something to us then uh before next meeting and say so you get to us then uh before next meeting and say this isGET I игра”

“new people come on that are already up I think it's they have something like 30 days or whatever I have to look it up to get it but if you're already in a position you can't tell I think you can't be like September but like I said every case is about 10-15 days”
