Board of Ethics Minutes of Regular Session January 10, 2007 BLT: I believe they do. I think every county has had to do something. AL: I think in Maui, I looked into something in Maui. KS: It was part of the last task. We had Maui, Kauai, we had all of them. RW: Executive board.... AL: It was the Financial Disclosures. BLT: We are just going to get the rules from them. AL: So, who is going to track those down? BLT: I will track those down. AL: Thank you. KD: Do we need to motion or act on this? WJ: I thought we were just going to bring in additional information for the next meeting. BLT: So it is continued until the next meeting as Unfinished Business. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Review draft of Hawaii County Board of Ethics Handout for new employees, board and commission members, and elected officials. WJ: Okay, number six, does everyone have their copy? BLT: Just like this is going to take a while. I have the Ethics Guide; I have significantly changed the format. I thought we would try looking at the format that the State has used in their guide. I also changed the font to make it a little smaller so I could get more stuff on one page. Also, at Kendall's suggestion, I have double- checked a couple references. I have tried to track the language of the code a little more closely with specific reference to the section of the code that comes from. I forgot to take the examples and put them in italics. You suggested that the stuff that is not strictly code, kind of explanatory, should be italics. Basically, looking at the first page, there is big blank section because I didn't know if you wanted to do a cartoon. Like the State has something kind of funny. We could have a swamp that we are trying to flush out, or Hercules trying to clean out the stables. Then I changed it by going to a smaller font and going to a two - column thing. I thought it would be easier to follow. KS: It is great for notes. 11
