CHAIR: Moving on to Communication No. 2010 -053 dated May 26, 2010, regarding <br />officer or employee behavior at County Council meeting held on May 5, 2010. <br />2) Communication No. 2010 -053 dated May 26, 2010, regarding officer <br />or employee behavior at County Council meeting held on May 5, <br />2010. <br />Ms. Schoen explained that her office had received the communication via email on May <br />26, 2010. She had responded to the sender via email about filing a formal petition and providing <br />contact information so she could follow up. The sender never responded to her. She therefore <br />was presenting the communication to the Board for further instruction /action. <br />The Chair said that since it was addressed to him and the other members, he would <br />recommend that as Chair he respond to the sender and suggest the proper protocol in filing a <br />formal petition. If there was no response, they could just accept and file away his <br />communication. <br />Ms. Schoen stated that since the Board's practice was to not publicize the names of <br />petitioners and respondents until an open meeting, and since they did not know whether the <br />sender wanted an open or closed meeting, she suggested the names of the sender and officer <br />involved remain confidential until the Board decides further. The Board agreed. <br />Motion and vote: Ms. Lum moved to accept and file Communication No. 2010 -053, <br />Mr. Henricks seconded the motion, and all members voted aye. <br />b. Review of Gifts Disclosure Statements. <br />The Board reviewed the nine disclosure statements listed on the agenda. Ms. Schoen <br />reminded them that the Code requires any gifts valued singly or in the aggregate in excess of <br />$100 to be reported. <br />Motion and vote: Mr. Henricks moved to accept and file the disclosures, Ms. Lum <br />seconded the motion, and all members voted aye. <br />5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />a. Counsel's report on the status of proposed changes to the Ethics Code. <br />Ms. Schoen reported that the Mayor's proposed amendments have not been agendized yet <br />before the full Council. She would report back when that happened. Nothing has happened <br />since the last meeting, probably because of all the budget matters. <br />Motion and vote: Ms. Lum moved to go into Executive Session to review the Executive <br />Session minutes and confidential financial disclosures. Mr. Henricks seconded the motion, and <br />all members voted aye. <br />23 <br />
