New London council will meet next week on Ackley agreement
New London — The City Council will meet next week to discuss releasing a recently discovered agreement between the city manager and the police chief.
City Councilor Adam Sprecace asked for the meeting Thursday, and on Friday Mayor Martin Olsen scheduled a special meeting for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. The agenda will include whether to release the document to the public and a discussion on the implications of the agreement.
Law director Thomas Londregan, in responding Wednesday to a state Freedom of Information request filed by The Day, declined to release a copy of a memo of understanding between Chief Margaret Ackley and City Manager Denise Rose.
Some councilors have publicly disagreed with Londregan's decision.
Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.
