Mr. Wiseman: Starting with...before that... It's my understanding is that each <br />Council Member is gonna get his own copy of this right. <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: Correct. <br />Mr. Wiseman: Okay. <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: I don't know. I think it's important somehow to emphasize <br />those...what's become 38, 39, and 40 because the language, every <br />member of the Council needs to adhere to and nurture a personal <br />code that will promote a cultural proud reflective and ethical public <br />servants. And 40 reads an ethical imperative is impartial of the <br />democratic tradition and one needs to be reminded from time to <br />time that public service is indeed a public trust. I don't know if we <br />have to go and present in person. Maybe a cover letter or <br />something that would be read in the Council meeting by someone <br />would suffice. <br />Mr. Wiseman: As we all can imagine, not every Council member is going to read <br />this. <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: Unless somebody says it. <br />Mr. Robinson: Well my concern is if you send something and it just like... <br />Mr. Wiseman: Yeah, that's what I'm saying right yeah. <br />Mr. Robinson: Where's it? <br />Mr. Wiseman: They go to Council meetings, they have a bundle of papers. <br />Mr. Robinson: Does it call your attention to a specific section within this. You <br />can do it in person it means a little bit more. <br />Mr. Wiseman: Yeah. <br />Mr. Robinson: And you hopefully see all of them open it up and read along. <br />Mr. Wiseman: It would be the purpose of any additional presentation would just <br />be for...to emphasize a certain part of it. <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Let me just kinda get some clarity here. So the thought process is <br />that the Board is interested in...sending a communication to the <br />Council to be placed on the agenda. But not to specifically talk <br />about this opinion. But to talk about interpretation of the code of <br />ethics and what it means to make disclosures. Correct? <br />20 <br />
