Case File 26-0003

Applies if: advising a party in a pending ethics complaint

Context: On 2026-05-21 the Commission voted 5-0 (Fick's motion, seconded by Moore) to table its proposed amendments to Sections 2-330 and 2-329, the same complaint-procedure provisions discussed at the 2026-03-19 meeting.

Recommended: Pull the current text of Ethics Code Sections 2-330 and 2-329 now if you're advising a party in a pending complaint — the Commission tabled its proposed rewrite of these exact complaint-procedure sections on May 21 with no stated return date, so the governing rules could shift mid-case.

Context: Matter's key facts state the Commission approved minutes and delegated a report but took no action on financial disclosure reports or outstanding complaints across 5 meetings from 2026-01-15 to 2026-05-21, while its own proposed amendments to Sections 2-330/2-329 remain tabled.

Recommended: File a public records request for the outstanding ethics complaints and financial disclosure reports the Commission has taken zero action on despite meeting five times since January — the panel has instead spent that time tabling its own proposed rule changes.

Context: Vote data show a 5-0 Carried result on Douglas Fick's motion, seconded by Matthew Moore, to table the proposed Ethics Ordinance amendments to the next regular meeting.

Recommended: The May 21 tabling motion sends the ordinance rewrite back to the Commission's next regular meeting, not to City Council — engage Commissioners Fick and Moore now while the amendment language is still open, rather than waiting for a Council hearing that hasn't been scheduled.
