Pembroke Town Board considers reestablishing an Ethics Committee

By Traci Turner

The Pembroke Town Board is discussing the reformation of an Ethics Committee and appointment of new members.

Supervisor Anne Lawrence brought up the opportunity during a town board meeting on May 28. According to Lawrence, an Ethics Committee composed of three members was established in 2004 but two members are no longer available to serve. One member has died and another member moved out of state. Lawrence asked town board members if they would be interested in reestablishing the committee. The board discussed the matter and considered advertising to fill the two spots.

The town board then revisited the topic at a regular meeting on June 25. During the meeting, Lawrence asked if members knew of anyone who would be interested in serving on the committee and stated she had spoke with two people about the positions. One of the original members, Dave Krueger, has agreed to serve if the committee is reestablished.

In a recent interview, Lawrence said no final decisions have been made. The town board will continue to review the proposal during upcoming meetings.
