Initiative to receive a grant from the County at some point in the <br /> future? Is this one of those...If I take a look at what is going to <br /> happen at this event, you have a bunch of Counties coming <br /> together. Their bringing their teams, the teams are supposed to be <br /> composed of three to five folks and it's supposed to be folks that <br /> are decision makers within the County. And then they're going to <br /> come and they're going to talk about trying to solve this issue of <br /> having mentally ill folks incarcerated and what to do about that. Is <br /> there anything that follows that other than this is an opportunity for <br /> Counties to share best practices, figure out what they're going to <br /> do in the future? Is there opportunity where there's a situation that <br /> you're aware off and I mean it now at this point that your aware of <br /> that some of the host are going to them, come to the County with <br /> you know programs, training programs or initiatives on which the <br /> County then would spend money. Are you aware of anything like <br /> that? <br /> Mr. Paleka: Normally, the purpose of these type of initiatives is to seek...these <br /> initiatives usually try to get federal funding so it's the other way, <br /> were we're trying to get funding from the Federal and State levels <br /> and not were the County is. Other than our membership that we <br /> paid to NACo as members. I wouldn't see any other compensation <br /> that the County's giving to NACo and the Psychiatric Association <br /> that is hosting this event. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay. Great thank you. <br /> Mr. Paleka: You're welcome. <br /> Mr. Adams: Again you did talk about this, the idea that attending this on 2- <br /> 91.4, the section of the Code on gifts were no officer or employee <br /> shall accept any gift whether in the form of travel under <br /> circumstances in which it could be reasonably inferred that the gift <br /> is intended to influence the officer's or employee's official duties <br /> or is intended to reward. So in this case, we're not looking... you <br /> don't see this as a reward, it think you talked about that and the <br /> idea that this travel expense would influence you in the <br /> performance of your official duties. What's you comment on that? <br /> Mr. Paleka: Certainly has no bearing on my influence of why I'm doing this <br /> Stepping Up Initiative. <br /> Mr. Adams: Right. Can you see because the phrase is reasonably be inferred, <br /> it's not whether you would actually be influenced, it's whether or <br /> not others could see that you're being influenced by that. <br /> 15 <br />
