Mr. Adams: Actually, Mr. Robinson made the motion so he has first crack. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Oh. I have nothing further to add. I don't view business travel as <br /> much fun. <br /> Mr. Adams: Just to clean up a couple of things if I could. First of all, am I <br /> allowed to make a motion in the middle of discussion? We have <br /> correspondence that we received that was...we have a part of the <br /> packet information that was added to the packet that we should <br /> receive right. So I move that we should receive the information as <br /> provided by Council member Paleka. <br /> Mr. Robinson: I second that. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: It's been moved and seconded. Incidental motion to receive and <br /> file the additional correspondence received from Mr. Paleka. <br /> Motion and Vote: Mr. Adams moved to receive additional information from Council <br /> member Paleka. Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. All members voted aye. <br /> Mr. Adams: Thank you. Back to discussion if I will. The reason this is an <br /> informal advisory opinion is because according to our Code and <br /> our rules, doing a formal advisory is a lot more work. An informal <br /> allows for us to have these kinds of conversations in a <br /> conversational way to deal with this. I think that the appropriate <br /> when we address the Code itself, the appropriate section is gonna <br /> be 2-91.4. That's the one that this falls under at least for me. I <br /> don't see anything that in 2-84 really is where there's an issue <br /> associated with this. I could see that there might be an issue where <br /> actually 2-83(c) actually address this as well as 14-6 of the Charter. <br /> Which says that you all are able to do, meaning the Council is able <br /> to do things that have to do with doing your legislative functions, <br /> right. So the fact that you considered this particular resolution and <br /> the fact that there was funding associated with that. That's all part <br /> of your legislative function. It doesn't mean that there aren't <br /> situations where there may be other considerations that we would <br /> have to deal as a part of the Code. That in situations that may <br /> come up before the Council, but in case those to me seem proper <br /> element of the legislative functions identified in 2-83(c). But the <br /> idea that there's going to be funding provided for travel in fact <br /> does bring it underneath 2-91.4 to me. And so as I take a look at <br /> what the...as we have in recent past considered what we would <br /> look at in terms of guidelines for gifts. The first question for us <br /> under 2-91.4 is simply is this a gift yes or no. For me it's a gift. <br /> It's pretty simple, it's funding that's coming from a non-County <br /> source and frankly a non-government source. For that an officer or <br /> 17 <br />
