There won't be much room at the Paris Town Office for this special selectmen's meeting 12-07. Thus the 5pm time? Who would be bothered? Nothing going on the citizenry might care about.
Just the deadline for setting the date for a recall election for 2 selectmen. Or maybe 4?
Just a discussion about pending litigation; agenda doesn't even mention which litigation. And no citizen in Paris could possibly guess....
No mention whether Town Attorney Hole will appear. No one's telling. Maybe certain selectmen are concerned with $$ left in the amount budgeted for legal expenses. It could certainly be a savings if there could be a short cut, say, don't ask him anything; self diagnose and prescribe.
Or, perhaps ask him something; but only a very small audience (of one?...maybe two?...) gets the response, and translates it for everyone else, and takes out the part that says I advise, or I don't advise.
Or, perhaps, neglect to ask him to drive up from his Portland office to answer all those tiresome questions from the rest of the selectmen who have only had the opportunity to talk with him once [9-14-09, at Paris Elementary] since this whole law suit arrived on Paris' doorstep.
That would save not only money, but time, because critical questions for the Town of Paris still need to be answered at this juncture; if there is no lawyer in person to respond accurately, those questions can just be conveniently avoided...and forgotten....
Wonder if there's been written communication from Atty. Hole.... Interesting that the only references to and about Atty. Hole have come from Mr. Ivey, and maybe once from Mr.Ripley. Could Mr. Ivey, or Mr. Ripley, or perhaps Int. Mgr. Thorne, have forgotten to share anything with the rest of the board?
Perhaps Atty. Hole will be in attendance after all?
Oh, and are there any other tricky little items that couldn't be bothered getting themselves on the agenda...?
Come if you can. Probably camp out in the parking lot. Pretty small meeting room. Dress warm.
