 Good evening, everyone. I've got seven o'clock p.m. A little after actually so I'm that we'll call to order The ethics board meeting for this evening And ask for a call of the roll woman Bonet doyle excuse graph Manny Montemire Moody Perez Rainflesh Stefan Ben Akron Vanderwill Warners here in Wenger We have a quorum on that I'll call for approval of the minutes from our February 23rd 2000 forum meeting All those in favor of approval of the minutes from our previous meeting signified by saying aye Sure was I opposed very none the motion passes minutes stand approved the purpose of tonight's meeting is To clear out the folder of the ethics board for the year By determining the fate of the items that are on our agenda for this evening One of the the first item on our agenda item number four is a resolution by all the person's graph and Warner Designating the committee on law and licensing as a subcommittee of the ethics board And on that if I can explain that this resolution will change Resolution 353 99 0 0 by Alderman graph and T. Van Akron Prior to April of 2000 the old judicial and legislative committee was the subcommittee of the ethics board when the GNL Committee was eliminated the salary and grievance committee was given that task much like public protection safety Was given the task of licensing Since the Common Council has created a law and licensing committee This resolution change would make that committee the subcommittee of the ethics board And give it duties prescribed in the resolution that Working out here tonight to initially reveal matters coming before the board and make recommendations to the board on those matters Simply put it just restores that duty to the committee on law and licensing As it was before so what I would need on that is a motion by someone on the board to Forward this to the clerk's office to be sent to common council for approval What is the core of the three fourths nine We need just a simple majority Right Have a motion in a second all those in favor Sure, but I motion passes Next item on our agenda is our own number 4710304 by the city clerk submitting a communication from Cindy here expressing her concern about a small group of all persons On this I did talk to miss here, and she wanted to let the council know what her opinion was And she feels that with this letter she has done that and there appears to be no need to hold this over and I would recommend filing I Have a motion in a second to file Oh 4710304 by the city clerk any further discussion All those in favor of filing signify by saying aye True votes aye motion passes next item on our agenda is number 517304 by the city clerk submitting a communication for Betty McGinnis relative to her observations of problems between various older persons on this All the money I was just going to file but I was going to ask the chairman if you would please read the letter for the benefit of the public Yes And the rationale is the first letter was in the in the press, but the second one wasn't I guess I asked the committee Chairman at the individual one at that letter and they come read to the public they would have made their intent Clear, and they would have also submitted that letter to the press as the other individual did Okay So I have a motion let me on point this here I guess under discussion then we have a motion To file and a second under discussion. I think This communication although largely opinion does mention comments made by all the person Stefan council meeting regarding concerns related to him by other council members and My recommendation would be that since there is one missing component, which is a Complaintant in this case There's really only two actions we can take one is to send it to the board to the ethics board of the next meeting and File and that's what was decided here tonight. So I would support fine all the graph. Did you have something? Okay, all right, please yeah, I was gonna bring out actually the points you just made there if the Miss McGinnis Would like to discuss the issue she's been invited here to do so and she may have been able to read the letter But I don't I'd hate to get the precedent of every time we one of us wants to read a letter Every correspondence that we take time out of our day to do that We can invite those people if they feel strong about an issue to to speak here in front of us We'll put the floor to them So, you know, I certainly support filing right now, but if they would With miss McGinnis would like to speak in front of this ethics board. I would recommend that you'd resend the letter for the next ethics board after the election Okay, hold them in Montemare That was still that was my light from point of order a long time ago. Thanks. Okay Holdenberg There is a public forum She wants to come forward Let her come forward and speak her piece, you know, that's what we're here for is to listen to complaints as well as If we're doing anything good, just let them come to the public forum and speak their peace All right, hold them in break Anyone else? Hold them in graph All the Montemare second emotional file, correct. So that if there's no further discussion all those in favor Sure votes aye opposed hearing none the motion passes. Okay We are setting a record One of the shortest meetings ever other matters as are authorized by law. I have nothing Sign and I Things is the last All those in favor Sure votes aye motion passes stand adjourned Okay Perfect Yeah
