A motion to reappoint individuals to the various positions was made by Selectman O'Connell and was seconded by Selectman DePalma. Selectman Bendel asked how long it will be necessary to retain special counsel. Town Manager Hull noted that special counsel is retained specifically for matters relating to Olin. Information regarding Olin is provided to KP Law and noted he does not have a specific date. Selectman Bendel recalled that when the Board went through the process of hiring KP Law it was anticipated the need for special counsel would be a temporary situation until KP could get caught up on the issues. Selectman Caira indicated he was in agreement with Selectman Bendel.
