The attorney hired by the Cookeville City Council to investigate CRMC’s hiring of Ricky Shelton said he did nothing wrong in taking the position.
“We conclude Mr. Shelton’s actions did not violate the City of Cookeville Charter or any state law regarding Conflicts of Interest,” Attorney William Carver wrote in a letter to City Manager James Mills. “Specifically, Mr. Shelton’s pursuit and acceptance of employment with CRMC did not involve a contract “for the performance of any work that is to be paid for out of the [City] treasury” as prohibited by Tenn. Code Ann. $ 6-54-107.”
