The consultants presented the report to the Hull Board of Selectmen during a joint meeting on April 7. Lemnios said at that meeting that the schools should set up a working group, including himself and Kuehn, to work through what a consolidation process would look like.
Hull officials said during that meeting they could use the Memorial Middle School as a new town hall, as the current town hall is in need of expensive repairs and is too small to hold all the town s departments.
During that meeting, school committee member Stephanie Peters said the town was trying to foist its problem, of a dilapidated town hall, onto the school district and that the school board needed to deliberate in public, about what it thinks of the consolidation plans.
EDMONTON A proposed crematorium located in central Edmonton is facing backlash from individuals who live nearby. Trinity Funeral Home bought the industrial building at 114 Avenue and 119 Street, with the intent to run a crematorium and general interment services. More than a dozen residents in the Prince Rupert neighbourhood laid out their concerns to city council on Tuesday to oppose to the rezoning request for the proposed site. Laurie Moulton, senior planner at the City of Edmonton, presented council with the administrative plan. It indicated there are approximately 15 crematoriums in various locations around the city, including the heart of Oliver Square and downtown. Both of those locations are adjacent to thousands of residents within the city’s most populated neighbourhoods.

The company subcontracts the legwork and serves as more of an overseer, but some experts say working double duty as independent investigator and public relations firm raises the specter of a conflict of interest.
The optics of a dual role
Boston University public relations professor Justin Joseph said there should be a firewall between any investigation and the people doing public relations work.
“(Public relations firms) should be seeing that report at the same time as the general public,” he said.
Joseph said even the perception that something is untoward can be just as damning as actual wrongful behavior.
“Something we teach our students constantly is to operate on the highest level of ethical behavior, and not just because of the rules,” Joseph said. “Really, it’s far deeper than that, because we deal in perception, so you have to go above and beyond the rules.”
