FormerWB chief agrees to $2K ethics fine Jenkins erred in representing district & manufacturer By DavidStillII dstill@barnstablepartriot.com Former West Barnstable Fire Chief John Jenkins will pay a$2,000 fine to the Massa- chusetts Ethics Commission for violation of the state's conflict of interest law. The fine is the result of inadequate disclosures made by Jenkins in a $153,000 con- tract to refurbish the fire department' s 1985 Pierce engine/tanker. At the time, Jenkins worked as a sales agent for the company that was awarded the contract. It was no secret in the district that Jenkins made extra money working as a sales agent for Minuteman Fire and Rescue Apparatus inWalpole,an agentfor Pierce fire engines. Jenkins could have avoidedtheviolation "by making an advance written disclosure of his relationship with Pierce Manufacturing." In a disposition agreement signed by Jenkinsin October and finalized this week, the former chief agreed to a set of facts and to pay a $2,000 fine. According to the disposi- tion agreement, there were only two bidders for the work and Minuteman was the low bidder and alsomet the other terms of the bid documents. The commissionstartedits inquiry in July. In Septem- ber, the board found reason- able cause that Jenkins had violated the Massachusetts conflict of interest law. "Jenkinskneworhad reason to know that he was acting in a manner which would cause a reasonable person, knowing alloftherelevantfacts,to con- clude that Minuteman/Pierce could improperly influence or undulyenjoy Jenkins'sfavor in the performance of Jenkins's official duties relating to the ET-296 refurbishment." The disposition agreement reads. The agreement also notes that the former chief did not file anywrittendisclosurewith his bosses,the elected three- member prudential commit- tee,"todispelthisappearance ofimpropriety."Therefurbish- ing was performed on time and on budget, according to the agreement. Jenkins was questioned about his relationship with the company at the time the refurbishing was brought to districtvoters in2004.Jenkins and members of the pruden- tial committee said that the issuehad been discussed and deemed not to be an issue. Jenkins made clear at the - districtmeetingthathewould not earn acommission on the^ refurbishment. The ethic&~ commission concluded thfE* Jenkins received no com-"~ mission, nor did it receive * "evidencethat Jenkinsas firei chief showed favor or disfavdrfSJ towards Minuteman/PierceSSft 'Green design' housing/retail proposed... CONTINUED FROM PAGEA:1 127,006 square feet , about 3,497 square feet dedicated to retail bays. An entrance to the ground level covered garage withopen sides would be from Main Street, east of the retail bays. DanielL.Bailey,president of ABA Architects of Baltimore, said the preliminary plans include six units each for af- fordable and workforce hous- ing.He prefaced aPowerpoint presentation by noting the conceptualnature ofthe plans and asked for the site plan reviewers' help in developing the project that could,barring major problems,beunder way in about 16 months. The "green design" pre- sented by Bailey showed parts ofrooftops covered with vegetation.Thegreenconcept extends to the breakup of the one-,two- andthree-bedroom units into cubes rather than one long building, each cube having an area of vegeta- tion. The second and third floors have living units along the perimeter of the complex and someinside,whereas the fourth floor, in an attempt to meet roof height require- ments, has only inside units. Theconceptreceived strong support from Patty Daley of the town's Growth Manage- ment Department and was heralded by several of the committee members as an entirely new building model for Hyannis. Building Commissioner Tom Perry asked why park- ing couldn't be underground. Bailey said there are many technical reasons why that wouldn't fit this project while ElizaCox,attorneywithNutter, McClennen and Fish, said her firm hashad clientswhofound undergroundparkingconstruc- tion costs prohibitive. Bailey agreed with Perry that the project' s biggest hurdle is access. To that end, Daley said her depart- ment is discussing this with the Steamship Authority in efforts to find a right of way » through the authority'spart £ inglot to the newproject from Yarmouth Road.
