Council Memo by the Ethics Commission. 17 4/23/87 Barney Knight, City Attorney, told Council the amendments to the Ethics Ordinance are housekeeping items. "There were two ordinances forwarded to you by the Ethics Review Commission. I sent you a memo to consider an ordinance we have prepared rolling them into one ordinance and adding one change to it. The Ethics Review Commission recommends that this ordinance which removes the prohibition that a member may not hold another appointed City office. They also recommend addition of a the requirement that a member recuse himself/herself from a complaint involving a member of another commission of which he/she is also a member. Third, they recommend that the addition of candidates for election to City offices to the list of persons to whom a sworn complaint may be filed. Fourthly, a change of the date for filing financial disclosure information by candidates to establish a uniform dateline at a point where all of them have to file by a certain date rather than based on when they filed for office. Then, I recommended you consider that Councilmembers not be prohibited from voting on the items which would include their salaries, terms of office, travel budgets, etc. that Councilmembers could directly benefit from. This has not gone directly before the Ethics Review Commission, the last change, but they have had this issue before them in the recent past. They do not agree that that is necessary because their interpretation of the ordinance, they feel that is not a conflict. I suggest that change be made because when I read the ordinance it is very clear to me the Council has a direct interest in their salaries and I think it is directly in violation of the ordinance. I recommend this change because even though this commission may interpret it that way, there may be new people coming into it in the future and it will also prevent Councilmembers from being subjected to complaints." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Carl-Mitchell's motion, Mayor Cooksey's second, voted to approve the five changes to the Ethics Ordinance.
