Board of Ethics <br />Minutes of Regular Session <br />May 9, 2007 <br />AL: Yup. <br />KS: It's good for everybody. <br />AL: There is a lot of pride, even if it's only just nit - picking. I have a lot of pride in this. <br />KS: The other thing I was wondering is, does this need a procedure accompanying it so that as <br />it comes out from the Corp Counsel's office various departments don't interpret its use their own <br />way? In other words, every employee is going to get it. There is no sign on the dotted line that <br />you got it, kind of thing which is probably a little restrictive, but just to make sure .... <br />BT: The Board of Ethics is always the final arbiter on interpretations of the ethics code. <br />KS: No, but what I am saying is .... <br />AL: You want to make sure that people get it. <br />KS: I want to make sure that every department head, or whoever is responsible, or the HR <br />Department knows what our intent is on how this is distributed. It doesn't just sit on somebody's <br />back shelf and I'll give `em .... <br />AL: If they ask me .... <br />KS: Right. It is just as important as getting people to sign their tax forms. <br />BT: I think you have the authority to say that this is an official publication and that it is your <br />desire that this be distributed to every new employee and every existing employee and ask that <br />the Corporation Counsel see that is taken care of. Because Lincoln conducts training with <br />employees and he is really looking forward to having this `cause they can sit there and look at it <br />while he is running the training. <br />AL: And say what is this? <br />KS: Could that be like a letter or from ... a letter from us? <br />BT: Or, it can be a letter to the mayor saying that we've done this. We are very proud of it <br />and we would like to have this distributed to all county employees and all new hires. <br />KS: I'd like to give it some sort of official directions, like it's not just another dead tree. <br />BT: No, no, the mayor will, I think, will really be happy with this `cause he is big on this kind <br />of stuff, you know. I think he's going to be ecstatic that we've created a document. <br />AL: I wish we could put an authorship, I wish you could put your authorship on it. <br />12 <br />
