Mr. Wiseman: Yeah...two concerns...isn't it a minimum amount...I mean like <br />over $50... <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Ms. Sumner -Mack: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Mr. Wiseman: <br />Mr. Goodenow: <br />Mr. Yoshimoto: <br />Right... so the code talks about an excess of a $100...report <br />requirements as well as two other factors...so to answer Member <br />Robinson's question...the fact that it's over a $100 worth it's <br />$2900...there isn't anything in the code that...that amount in and <br />of itself rises to any level official concern...cause other factors you <br />would need to consider...I think you know in the past Board <br />Member Robinson we talked about the board reviewed other types <br />of gifts where we looked at other factors as far as whether was <br />related to the job...whether it was in furtherance of a County <br />interest...things of that nature...there's a test right to say that this <br />Commission uses. <br />I have one other concern...I think it's just a waste of resource and <br />time to have someone submit if they didn't receive a gift...to say I <br />didn't get any gifts. I mean it's an affirmative action if you receive <br />a gift to report it. So I see a waste of paper...waste of time...we <br />all had to look at this to see that someone did not receive a <br />gift...somehow I'd like to see a some action taken...I don't if it <br />would require a rule or just a memo perhaps to employees...and <br />offices of the government that they don't have to submit anything <br />if they didn't it's an affirmative action just to clarify that... <br />May I respond to that? Please I just think for...to make sure the <br />record is clear that we have a record that they've have stated that <br />they received no gift I think it's a little bit of a safeguard. I think. <br />What's the time table on it... is it a periodic event? <br />Once a year by June 30`h <br />Once a year, then I don't have such a problem. You can just <br />disregard my concern...I thought it was more frequent than <br />that...but once a year is fine with me. <br />Right it says if the requirements are met and so they don't have to <br />in the code. It's not a requirement so you could send them...and <br />put on the paperwork when you send...but your right we should <br />put in the rule if we're gonna do that. <br />You know the code is pretty specific but it's a little wordy in terms <br />of the requirements to file a gift disclosure...in other words if you <br />didn't...it doesn't say in simple term language if you didn't have a <br />8 <br />
