The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on March 5, 1998, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared in order to present testimony and argument on the complaint.

        At an informal conference prior to the March 5, 1998 hearing, the complainant and the respondents reached the terms of an agreement in resolution of this contested case, wherein the parties agreed that the respondents will provide the complainant with the list of vehicles requested by the complainant’s letter of December 22, 1997, and also monthly reports in the possession of the respondents for the last three months from the building inspector and the animal control officer, and additionally, will provide such monthly reports as well as monthly reports from the police and fire Marshall on an ongoing basis as such reports come into the possession of the respondents in the future. Finally, the respondents will provide the complainant with the minutes and agendas of town council meetings by the means of a computer disc on an ongoing basis. Based upon this agreement, the complainant informed the Commission that he wished to withdraw his complaint.

        The Commission warmly commends both the complainant and the respondents for working successfully to negotiate a non-litigated settlement of their earlier differences.

        The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:

        1. The complaint is hereby dismissed.
