ANNOUNCEMENTS (10:30 a.m.) Mr. Robinson: Ms. Sumner -Mack: Mr. Robinson: Mr. Hall: I'll lead off just by saying I was very happy that we attended that ethics conference. Knowing that it was the first one they've ever had...that was a surprise for me. I was happy to find out that they had some educational materials prepared...that maybe we could use. I like to think we would...I don't know what the form would be...but to discuss how we could maybe improve our efforts to educate including council members and others. Just to remind...not necessarily educate...but to remind them that there are these expectations of officials. That was one of the things that surprised me. I think it was City and County of Honolulu that they do educational sessions. Here I don't think they have educational sessions for employees. Our Office of Corporation Counsel does do trainings for County employees so we do have that. Basically each of us is required to do at least two trainings a year. So every six months we have to do one and I believe J usually does ethics trainings. And then we all just pick whatever topic or whatever topic the employees want us to cover. Mr. Robinson: Was that for County employees? 7
