Ordinance 2095 adopted in September 2017, established an Independent Ethics Review Board. This Board consists of seven members and two alternates.

To establish the initial Board, City Council conducted interviews with twelve candidates during public meetings held on July 23rd and July 30th. At the conclusion of each interview session, City Council was asked to rank their top candidates.

This item is to allow City Council to discuss the candidates and select the individuals to be appointed to the Board. To provide for staggered terms, City Council will appoint three members to three year terms, two members and an alternate to two year terms, and two members and an alternate to a one-year term. In future years, City Council will appoint three individuals to the Board for three-year terms.

Pursuant to section 2-36 of the City’s Code of Ordinances, the Mayor will appoint the Chair.

Appointments will be made at a future City Council Meeting.
