Board of Ethics <br />Minutes of Regular Session <br />May 9, 2007 <br />WJ: But you do understand now that you are making allegations that Bob Jacobson and Chris <br />Yuen did something and in return was compensated in some way for what they did, and you will <br />have to make that tie -in, and I don't think reading a newspaper article makes the tie -in. <br />JW: I'm just a citizen and I don't have, all I have is me, and all I see is what is out there and <br />so.... <br />WJ: There might be different venues in which you can take, and this venue, we just follow the <br />Code of Ethics, and what you cited specifically was that these two people with the county <br />received some - -some sort of compensation for favor and unless you can show a direct link to that <br />I don't think your position has any foundation. <br />JW: I realize that and when I first saw this I was taken aback . Then I tried every avenue I <br />could to rectify the situation, or to expose it, or to get some feedback, and I realize that I am <br />clutching at straws, but this is the only avenue where they said they were listening to me. <br />Everybody else just shined me on, brushed me off. This was the avenue where I thought I would <br />perhaps have a venue. <br />WJ: Yes. <br />KS: May I ask a question? What other avenues are you talking about? <br />JW: Ah, calling my councilman directly. No, never heard anything back. I'm calling the <br />Office of Information Practices, that's - -they always seem to be the knight -in- shining armor- -and <br />then I thought this was an OIP matter, and they said well its an ethics matter, and I think that ... <br />and I'm sure, like I don't remember the direct route how I got here, but that was part of the <br />steppingstones that led me to this venue. <br />AL: The variance was —the person did not have to build a sidewalk? I mean to put it in plain <br />words? <br />JW: Yes, ma'am. <br />AL: And they received the variance? <br />JW: They would have received it had I not intervened. They were ready to get it and Chris <br />Yuen and Bob Jacobson were ready to give it to them. <br />AL: So, now it's being —what is the status? <br />JW: The status now, it is —this is ironic —these are the March the 8"' minutes and I only got <br />them yesterday in my mailbox after work. So, the ... now .... <br />AL: Minutes of the council meeting? <br />3 <br />
