The Chairman should cement relationships, as a member he has not
done this. A member of this Board who feels there are problems
within the Board should make an effort to get the problems solved
at a regular Board meeting before going to the Board of Selectmen
with the problem, This is a standard procedure in government. He
is not available during the day and will only answer complaints when
he in in the Town Hall, in my opinion he has a lack of knowledge
o° the rules and regulations of the Town of Nansfield and Title V
and this Board could be subject to future law suits.
