He describes among the services provided by BRS the: following: home monitoring while homeowners are away, opening and closing homes whose owners reside seasonally in the town, performing minor home repairs, and waste collection and disposal. The Petitioner states that the town does not provide municipal waste collection for its residents; thus, residents may bring their trash to the town transfer station personally or hire someone to do SO.

Thel Petitioner notes that only trash generated in the town can be disposed ofi in the town transfer station and that there are certain requirements relative to the separation of the various types of trash that must be The Petitioner: represents that he responded to an advertisement by the town soliciting applications for part-time employment in the position of director of the Little Compton Department of] Public Works (DPW). He explains that he was interviewed during a town council meeting by the town council, the town administrator, and the town clerk. The Petitioner states that he was offered the position pending receipt of an advisory opinion from thel Ethics Commission regarding whether he may accept the position without running afoul of the provisions oft the Code of Ethics, given that The Petitioner represents that the DPW director is appointed by the town council and that the position is subordinate to the town administrator, carries flexible work hours, and requires a 20- hour work week.
