Since then, the Ethics Commission met <br />twice and focused on a better understanding of their responsibilities. <br />The Ethics Commission would like Council comment or direction on the following <br />issues. <br />1. The City holds annual ethics seminars. In the past, the Commission coordinated <br />the seminars. In Resolution 10408, Section 1, the resolution directs the City <br />Manager to coordinate the seminars. Does the City Council want the Ethics <br />Commission to coordinate the seminars? If so, that should be clarified pursuant to <br />City Code Chapter 206.04, Section C. <br />2. The Ethics Commission has discussed creating procedures for ethics issues before <br />they become ethics complaints. This would allow a person with a concern to <br />follow specific procedures if questions arise about whether something is a breach <br />of ethics. The person with questions could tall� with the City Manager or City <br />Attorney, depending upon the individual involved, for advice and guidance. Does <br />the Council want the Commission to develop such a process? <br />3. Are there other issues or direction? <br />Council Action Reguested: <br />Provide additional direction to the Ethics Commission, as necessary. <br />
