4.10.2023 Governance Committee
A
C
A
A
A
D
Are
they
all
all
on
or
they're
all
on?
Okay,
thanks
yeah,
just
by
way
of
background,
I.
D
D
E
Things
into
a
frame
or
a
context,
city
council,
of
course,
there's
a
legislative
body
that,
among.
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
E
D
And
you
know
the
forms
are
not
terribly
detailed.
Okay,
you
know,
we
don't
require
people.
D
D
D
F
D
D
D
D
Have
you
know
you
don't
have
the
shame,
you
don't
have
the
same
process.
We
also
have
some
rather.
D
Unusual
rules,
I
think,
compared
to
some
conflict
of
interest
rules
where
in
most
instances,
not
all.
D
D
D
B
D
D
G
E
D
Well,
it's
the
federal
government
right
yeah.
Basically,
so
they
got.
D
Rules
for
everything,
but
we
have.
We
have
a
few.
D
D
To
make
these
coi
determinations,
they
are
not
challengeable
by
the
council
itself.
The
the
member.
D
Or
the
person
whose
subject
can
appeal
them
up
the
chain?
You
know
a
conflict
generally
does.
D
D
E
You
have
available,
we
have
almost
none
okay
bluntly,
so
the
remedy
is,
the
person
is.
D
D
D
D
A
A
And
the
charter-
and
I
wouldn't
know
our
legal
counsel
here-
might
have
a
better
idea.
The
charter.
A
Careful
to
kind
of
not
be
too
direct
about
that
because
there
is
a
conflict
between
our.
A
Charter
and
the
rsa
on
removal
or
not,
and
that
that
has
not
been,
I
think,
determined.
E
E
A
And
so
this
is,
this
is
a
challenging
area.
I
think
for
us
that
final
piece,
thank
you
so.
A
Much
for
providing
this
explanation
for
us
of
what
you
do.
I
think
that
what
we're
what
the
plan
is.
A
A
E
Or
something
we
should
read
it
if
you
want
I'd,
be
happy
to
read
it
whatever.
You
prefer
either
way.
A
Do
I
can
go
ahead
and
go
through
it?
If
you
want
1802a,
no
officer,
employees
shall
engage.
A
A
So
I
think
this
is
something
with
that.
Mr
nice
just
raised,
the
language
seems
very
clear.
E
Actually,
don't
think
it's
clear,
okay
at
all
because
think
about
this.
E
The
world
or
shall
have
a
financial
other
private
interest,
that's
every
kind
of
interest.
E
There
is
in
the
world,
which
is
in
direct
or
indirect,
again
covers
every
possible
option.
E
E
So
this
strikes
me
this
strikes
me
as
particularly
unclear
and
maybe,
as
you
go
about
your.
E
G
A
So
I
think
that's
that's.
I
think
that's
what
our
legal
counsel
is
pointing
out
to.
A
E
Really
I
thought
that
this
is
an
example
of
you
is
really
a
great
one.
For
example,
the.
E
E
You're,
a
leaseholder
yeah,
it's
it
operates
a
business
on
city
property.
We
maintain
city.
E
E
Direct
or
indirect
financial
or
private,
who
knows-
and
I
think
one
help
helpful
test-
is.
F
F
F
It's
sort
of
a
better
safe
than
sorry
so
vince's
example
raises
another
important
principle:
it's.
E
E
E
E
E
B
B
Exactly
how
it
goes,
but
if
anyone
has
that,
I
know
exactly
what
it
is
it's
I
know
you
did
because.
E
A
A
A
Of
conflicts
of
annual
disclosure
of
conflicts,
rather
than
that
statement
up
up
front.
A
Before
a
council
meeting,
so
that's
interesting
yeah,
so
we
would
do
it
every
year.
Yeah
that
that's.
F
First
off,
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
have
a
preamble.
F
That
states
why
we
have
a
conflict
of
interest
policy
I'll,
just
read
you
one
from
another
city.
F
F
F
F
F
The
boundaries,
so
I
I
thought
a
preamble
would
be
helpful.
F
So
far,
the
only
statutory
conflict
in
new
hampshire
is
around
pecuniary
interest.
But
there's.
F
F
F
F
You
know
again
going
to
the
the
concord
ordinance
it
says.
F
F
F
F
But
so
my
thoughts
were
some
preamble.
Why
do
we
want.
A
A
D
D
D
D
And
at
the
advisory
panel
level
or
there
there
really
aren't
those
limits,
because
it's.
F
Have
been
pretty
clear,
I
think
if
you
were
a
planning
board
member
or
as
eba
member.
E
E
Tracks
and-
and
I
would
also
add
one
other
thing
when
it
comes
to
employees
almost
ex
entirely.
B
I
have
a
question
there
that
might
be
a
difference
between
quasi-judicial
and.
B
City
and
elected-
and
that
is
if
someone
does
have
a
financial
conflict
but
wants
to.
B
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Know
the
police
got
better
things
to
do
than
arrest
innocent
people.
So
you
know
if
you.
E
E
Traditional
member
and
you
recuse
yourself
for
any
reason,
the
question
then
comes
up
and
it's
your.
E
Question
all
the
time
can
a
board
of
adjustment,
member
recuse
him
or
herself,
then
step
down
and.
E
Speak
from
the
podium
in
favor
or
against
the
application
that
caused
them
to
recuse
himself.
E
E
E
E
E
E
E
Boards,
so
you
know,
as
I
said,
you're
slicing
it
awfully
fine,
so
I'm
you're
on
a
planning
board.
E
E
A
Allowed
and
it
needs
to
be
much
clearer
because
when
I
read
this,
I
think
oh,
if
I
have
even.
A
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
Says
they're
updated
annually?
Well,
you
know
what
if
your
financial.
D
D
D
Person
who
did
that
was
the
pack
gerald
duffy's
pack
reported
expenditures.
I
believe
in
advance.
D
D
That
I
think
that
differentiation
here,
which
becomes
an
issue
because
I
would
argue
that.
D
D
D
D
Isn't
being
influenced
by
what
your
personal
benefit
is,
and
there
are
some
other
language
in.
D
There
that
you
know
in
some
of
the
places
that
I
think
you
got
to
be
careful
about
as.
D
A
A
Get
your
perspective
because
it's
unique,
I
think,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
experience
you
have.
A
In
dealing
with
this,
thank
you
I
might
head
out
here
shortly.
Just
so,
you
know:
okay,
that's
fine!
I'm.
E
E
D
D
E
A
We
thought
I
want
to
know
the
preference
of
the
committee
we
can
go
back
to
to
dealing.
A
A
F
To
gifts
and
favors,
okay,.
F
Is
that
going
to
color
your
so
I
just
wondered
seems
like
we
should
have
clear
rules
about
that.
E
E
City
business
at
all,
and
if
the
answer
is
yes,
then
there's
a
problem.
F
E
A
that's
not
a
made-up
situation
when
I
was
in
another
city
working
for
another
city
in
the
state.
E
Two
members
of
legislative
body
were
convicted
of
accepting
vacations,
expensive
vacations
and.
E
A
Where
the
ticket
price
is
100,
but
invites
us
as
guests,
then,
because
they
want
the
council
there.
A
A
A
City
does
pay
my
understanding
a
contract
with
them
for
services
around
tourism.
B
It
doesn't
seem
to
be
that
it's
for
influence,
if
you
don't.
B
A
I
will
say
that
you
know
the
legal
counsel
has
been
very
clear
that
this
is
quite
a
heavy.
A
A
Some
improvements
that
we
can
make
at
least
around
clarity
in
a
few
places,
and
if,
if
gifts
and.
A
100,
so
that
might
be
exactly
where
we
want
to
be,
but
that
is
I
probably
open
for
discussion
as.
B
I
would
agree
that
session
a
is.
It
is
a
terrible
piece
of
something
there.
A
A
A
And
there
is
also
this
question
that
we
do
need
to
definitely
go
back
and
clarify.
I
think
that.
A
It's
up
here
on
in
in
section
b,
representing
private
interests.
What
exactly
does
that
mean.
A
You
know
from
reading
it,
you
know
it
to
me.
It
was
suggested
no
city,
council
members.
A
To
decide
how
this
will
be
enforced,
is
it
enforced
in
through
the
same
process
the
ethics
process.
A
A
Quasi-Judicial
board:
it's
another
question
that
you
have
to
ask:
I
think
that
when
we
get.
A
A
A
A
So
how
do
we
fix
that
challenge
around
elections
as
well?
So
if
we,
if
we
desire
to.
A
Items
today
sure,
okay,
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
our
agenda.
The
next
item
on
our.
A
We
started
this
process
last
fall
and
and
we,
when
we
did
so,
we
were
trying
to
find
a
way.
A
To
help
fix
some
of
our
our
term
challenges
around
rotation
of
terms
being
off
sync.
E
However,
the
method
of
appointment
is
left
to
local
legislative
body.
E
So
the
city
council
does
have
some
room
to
maneuver
in
and-
and
I
think
there
are.
E
E
E
Mayor
is
critical
in
this
analysis
in
either
case,
so
you
would
certainly.
A
To
discuss
this
here-
and
there
were
some
differing
opinions
on
where
we
should
be
with.
A
Terms
of
new
appointees
or
not,
and
how
that
weakens,
the
power
of
the
mayor,
which.
A
Is
a
challenge
for
the
council,
and
so
at
this
stage
we
need
to
kind
of
decide
how
we
want.
A
To
move
forward
with
these
recommendations,
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
kind
of
quietly
started.
A
A
B
To
have
the
court
do
it,
or
is
that,
and
what
would
that
entail?
It
would
take
it
off
of
us
for.
B
One
thing,
but
is
that,
is
that
a
in
it
kind
of
an
onerous
process?
Well,
the
clerical
clerk
would.
E
E
A
What
you're
going
to
end
up
with,
but
at
the
same
time
yeah.
It
removes
the
responsibility
from.
A
The
council
to
try
to
fix
this
challenge,
and
it
would
then
not
be
subject
to
the
same.
E
So
if
you
just
kind
of
with
regard
to
this,
for
example,
if
you
just
state
what
result
you.
G
B
E
You
know
creative
ways
to
get
to
that
result
without
having
to
march
through
the
appointment.
A
At
this
stage,
by
making
any
changes
here
weaken
the
power
of
any
mayor,
in
particular,.
A
I'm
kind
of
mindful
of
that,
but
again
I
think
it's
also.
It's
also
you're
still
going
up
against.
A
I
think
that
anybody
who
was
looking
at
this
clearly
could
say
you
know
it's
it's
unfair
to.
A
A
E
E
And
and
so
therefore,
the
left
hand
hasn't
always
known
what
the
right
hand
is
doing
even.
E
Within
the
city
legal
department,
because
they're
different
people-
and
it
this
stagger
thing
that.
E
Did
throw
a
curve
at
a
lot
of
things,
but
but
sure
I
the
idea
that.
E
A
That's
my
understanding
is
that
that
people
were
appointed
for
full
terms
versus
fulfilling.
A
The
end
of
a
term-
and
that
has
been
a
challenge
to
deal
with
because
I
think.
A
Initially,
my
understanding
and
legal
counsel
would
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
my
understanding.
A
A
A
Two
has
a
term
plus
three
and
and
those
terms
are
defined
and
that
individuals
fulfill
them.
A
But
in
court,
if
somebody
challenges
it,
I
mean
they
could
come
to
court
and
say
I
wasn't
given.
A
That
it
was
important
enough
for
them
to
go
to
court
around
not
getting
a
full.
A
E
E
F
The
mayor
in
the
in
the
event
of
positions
on
our
land
use
boards
that
open
up.
E
E
Enforcement
mechanism,
in
most
cases,
so
the
problem
is,
is
we
now
have
terms
that
are
defined.
A
So
if
the
other
counselors
are
willing,
I
would
love
to
entertain
a
motion
to.
F
Helpful
to
have
a
motion
just
to
say
that
I
would
move
that
we.
F
Back
to
legal,
with
the
goal
of
a
way
to.
E
E
This
is
and
and
then
and
then
the
council
would
be
kind
of
the
enforcing
mechanism
by.
E
A
Subjects
who
to
that
and
how
do
you
do
it
you
know,
do
you
do
you
ask
the
a
mayor
to
do
it
on
their.
A
A
So
I'm
eager
to
hear
back
from
legal
on
how
we
can
proceed
with
that
yeah
yeah.
A
So
or
if
we
should
proceed
with
that,
if
they
find
an
alternative
so.
A
With
that
said,
I
think
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
blue
ribbon
committee.
Conversions
update.
A
Ribbon
committees
that
I've
highlighted
here
for
everyone
who
who
should
potentially
consider.
A
A
A
A
A
Committee,
so
I
thought
maybe
I
would
ask
here
if
council
taper
would
be
willing
to
discuss
this.
G
So
maybe
only
she
had
those
lists,
I
love
it.
So
maybe
it's
time
and
the
african
bearing.
A
Grounds
stewardship
blue
ribbon
committee
and
sister
city
blue,
ribbon
committee.
A
Both
we
have
not
approached
yet.
I
believe
that
the
assistant
mayor
serves.
A
A
Going
to
reach
out
to
her
directly,
if
that's
okay
with
everyone
here
to
see
if
she
would
approach.
A
A
About
particularly
around
that
is
the
safe
water
advisory
group
and
there's
always
a
question
on.
A
A
A
potential
launch
of
of
community
power,
so
so
the
others,
though,
are
very
temporary
in
nature.
B
A
Up
another
meeting
of
the
leadership
that
we
had
here
to
discuss,
parks
by
early
may.
A
Hopefully,
by
mid-may
or
so
with
that
I'll
move
to
public
comment,
is
there
any
public
comment.
A
Are
there
any
other
announcements
thanks?
Could
I
make
a
just
a
snip,
so
I'm
thinking.
E
About
the
work
of
the
governance
committee,
it's,
as
I
said
before,
pretty
broad
in
scope
and.
E
Even
just
in
today's
discussion,
if
things
have
come
up
which
might
call
for
a
charter
change,.
E
Changes
all
recommended
by
the
governance
committee,
so
with
that
in
mind,
I
wanted
to.
E
Then
the
the
fastest
way
the
charter
can
be
changed
is
through
council
action
recommending.
E
A
chart
of
change
which
chart
of
change
would
have
to
pass
by
referendum
vote
at
the
election.
E
E
E
E
E
E
And
so
just
so,
you
have
something
in
your
mind
to
be
thinking
about
the
work
ahead
of
you.
B
Is
that
this
I
just
put
it.
What
you
had
on
mine
is
what
it
is.
I
printed
it
out
for
myself.
So,
okay.
A
Attached
it
was
attached
to
the
last
meetings,
yes,
documents
document
and
they're
all
and.
A
A
F
A
F
F
A
With
that,
can
I
get
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
move?
Second,
all
in
favor
aye.
We
are
adjourned
thanks.
