Commissioner Michael Levinson, a former school committee member, recused himself before the residency issued was discussed. Chair Fran V. Hutton said a temporary replacement was needed so a full-four member commission could address the issue.
The commission will meet again on July 11. Hutton said that a full commission would be able to "look at what has been presented to us and then decide how to proceed." This could include calling for a hearing.
