They include: Discuss 2016 Ethics Training. City Attorney Mark Gaughan will be present at the meeting to review the topics for the annual Ethics Training scheduled for Wednesday, April 6. The Commission previously discussed topics ranging for the use of social media, a reinforcement of the Ethics Code and Open Meeting Law, and drawing a distinction between ethical and criminal behavior. • Discuss Future of the Ethics Commission. Over the past few months and smce the Ethics Commission's last meeting, the City Council has been discussing its 10 cut�ent city commissions. As part of that discussion, they have asked staff to look at the future of the Ethics Commission. They have indicated that they would like to keep in its existence, but have asked staff to research other ways it could be constituted. One way that is being considered is to have the existing Commission Chairs seive on the Ethics Cominission and have them meet on an "as needed" basis and have an annual meeting as part of the annual Ethics Training. At the February 8th City Council meeting, the Council will be discussing several commissions, including the Ethics Commission. At our meeting on February 10, I will provide an update to the Ethics Coin�mission about the discussion froin the February 8� City Council meeting. For your information, I have included the City Council case for the February 8� meeting. Ethics Tip. Commissioner Quick-Lindberg will present her Ethics Tip at the Februaty 10 meeting.
