They include: <br />Recap of the Joint Meeting with the City Council on July 14. <br /> Commissioners <br />Lehman and O’Brien presented information about the proposed changes to the Ethics <br />Code that the Ethics Commission previously recommended regarding withdrawal of <br />an Ethics Commission. I have attached the minutes from the joint meeting for your <br />information. <br />2015 Ethics Training <br />. The Ethics Commission should discuss the date, time, topic, <br />and speaker for the 2015 training. <br />Training for New Ethics Commissioners/On-going Training for Ethics <br />Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner O’Brien has brought this topic for discussion <br />amongst the Commission to see if there is interest in providing ethics education for <br />new members as well as for on-going education on ethics for existing Commissioners. <br />She has provided links to three online resources that are very helpful about <br />government ethics. They are: <br />The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University.
