On Sunday, I posted the following:
At the time, I couldn’t find any public notice for
Sciarrillo beyond one that expired in June 2016. A professional service contract is required
each year. The Board hasn’t approved a
new contract recently. There is no Resolution on any posted minutes of a "professional services" contract being awarded beyond June 2016.
Yesterday, the public notice shown below suddenly appeared in the papers. What timing!
Where is the resolution? Who voted on it?
