T. ASHIDA VK <br /> Corporation Counsel <br /> RE: Gift Reporting Requirements <br /> The Hawaii County Council passed Bill 305, an ordinance amending the <br /> County's Code of Ethics. Our new ethics law brings our County in line with the <br /> State Code of Ethics, and provides explicit and comprehensive guidance for all <br /> County officers, employees, and board and commission members. <br /> A significant amendment is the gift reporting requirement, found in Section 2-91.5 <br /> of the Hawaii County Code. The predecessor section required gift reporting by <br /> Council members only. The new section covers all officers, employees, and <br /> board and commission members as well. <br /> Enclosed is a copy of the gift disclosure form and instructions. We ask you <br /> disseminate same to your employees. <br /> The form and instructions are on the County website under the present path: <br /> Departments/Corporation Counsel. However, it may be relocated to a different <br /> part of the website in the near future. <br /> Deputy Corporation Counsel Patricia K. O'Toole should be recognized for her <br /> efforts in authoring and assembling this form and instruction sheet, and bringing <br /> them in line with the State forms. <br /> Please direct any questions or concerns regarding this matter to our office. <br /> Encls. <br /> S: Boards and Commissions/Board of Ethics/Memo re gift disclosures 12-27-02/LSAmr <br />
