B. At the last meeting the Board had asked for a legal opinion regarding the Service Worker position. There was a question as to whether an applicant had falsified on his application. Susan Sheikh contacted Frank Wiseman (Director of Streets and Utilities) the next day and he said that he had talked to our Law Director Phil Hartman before he made contact with the applicant. Phil Hartman told Frank that it would be okay to make contact with the applicant. Susan Sheikh gave Phil Hartman a copy of the PAB minutes and highlighted the area and discussion on the Service Worker position and asked him if he would comment on them. As of today Susan has not received a response from Phil Hartman and as soon as she does she will forward it to the Board. So that we will know for the future.
