| | | | | | | | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: | Resolution 18-27 provides for the appointment of the initial members of the Independent Ethics Review Board. The Board, consisting of seven members and two alternates, is charged with reviewing and disposing of sworn complaints alleging violations of the City's code of ethical conduct found in Chapter 2, Article IV of the Code of Ordinances.
The term of office for board members is three years. To establish the initial board, and to provide for staggered terms, this first set of appointments will consist of two members and an alternate appointed to a one year term ending September 2019, two members and an alternate appointed to a two year term ending September 2020, and three members appointed to a three year term ending September 2021.
Background:
Ordinance 2095 is based on recommendations from the City Council appointed Citizen's Ethics Task Force.
Submission of applications by citizens to serve on the Board closed on Friday, June 1, 2018. Twenty-five total applications were received and included 2 disqualifications and 2 withdrawals. One candidate was disqualified due to residency requirements not being met and the other was disqualified due to having been employed by the City in the last three years. One candidate moved out of Sugar Land during this process and withdrew voluntarily, and one candidate withdrew without citing a reason. Of the 22 qualified candidates, each City Council member selected their top three. Their selections were consolidated and resulted in 12 interview opportunities.
These selected candidates were interviewed in an open meeting, in no particular order, on July 23rd and July 30th. Also on July 30th, each City Council member ranked their top candidates and a weighted sum was calculated to determine the top overall candidates. The top overall candidates are reflected in Resolution 18-27 attached. Pursuant to section 2-36 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, the Mayor will appoint the Chair.
