substantial financial interest, then you can. But policy-wise, in the example you gave on <br />attendance, that was more of a Council issue on whether or not they had rules regarding <br />attendance. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: The only reason I ask this question is, as a manager of any <br />department, any division or whatever you may call it, the employee is under my control, if <br />I’m the head. And if the employee comes up to me and asks me--like the supplemental <br />employment, I should have the ability to come out and just say these are what you can <br />and cannot be employed in. And the ethics will show you that--so much reasons, but to <br />me there’s more reasons than that also. And that’s why I’m bringing up that question. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: I think at this time there’s no specific opinion that the Board of Ethics can <br />provide to you. We can—I believe we’ve given some advice. The first thing is talk to <br />your supervisor very specifically and directly and openly about your situation so that <br />there’s full awareness in your workplace, and if there’s a need to change a procedure or <br />not to do something or to do something, then that could be taken care of so there is no <br />appearance of impropriety. The other thing is, as there are certain codes—not just the <br />Code of Ethics but also policies and procedures on a personnel basis—in your section of <br />the County, check them out to see if there’s something very specific about this. And then <br />if you have further questions, then you’d be able to come back with specifics and with <br />your supervisor. <br /> <br />MR. KITA: Okay, thank you. I think maybe the most prudent action for me is to just <br />refrain from outside employment for the present. And if I consider it again, to have a <br />better presentation to this Board. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: I think that’s ________. <br /> <br />MR. KITA: But also in the meantime, I will speak with my administrator, because there <br />may be other employees who may be involved with outside employment, and there may be <br />at least a perception of a conflict. So I will work with my administrator on that. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Excellent. Thank you very much. <br /> <br />MR. KITA: Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br />d. Counsel’s report regarding matters and/or inquiries received by the Board, <br />including Gift Disclosure Statements received from Allison Lee and Lester <br />Seto of the Workforce Investment Board, disclosing no receipt of gifts. <br /> <br /> <br />Ms. Schoen said she was just reporting that the above two gift disclosures were received, <br />and no gifts were reported. <br /> <br /> <br />5.
