He thanked the Council for <br />the privilege of chairing this Task Force. <br />Kysylyczyn expressed concerns about recommendation <br />No.5, that suggests it may be deemed an ethics violation <br />for a public official to refuse to answer in good faith the <br />reasonable questions of the Ethics Commission in an <br />ethic's complaint investigation. Kysylyczyn then asked <br />Schultz for recommendations about a situation where a <br />majority of the Council were to appoint an Ethics' <br />Commission to pursue political complaints. <br />Kough expressed concerns about how easy it is for <br />citizens to file an ethics complaint. <br />Kysylyczyn indicated the next step would be Council <br />discussion of the Task Force's recommendations. <br />Schroeder asked about ways to screen out frivolous <br />complaints, such as having complainants post a bond <br />along with their complaint. <br />Kysylyczyn expressed concerns about ground rules for <br />gathering evidence. <br />Kysylyczyn expressed concerns about double-jeopardy. <br /> <br />Regular Meeting <br />Agenda Review <br /> <br />Ethics Task Force <br />
