Obtain Ethics Ordinance complaint procedure language under review

Why now: On 2026-03-19 the commission discussed the status of its 2025 Resolution, Sections 2-330 and 2-329, and complaint procedures with no action taken, and on 2026-08-20 it voted to send revisions to council.

What to do: Get the current text of Ethics Code Sections 2-329 and 2-330 and the commission's 2025 Resolution. Ask whether the complaint procedures discussed in March are the same ones targeted by the revisions sent to council, since the record does not say.

Act before: After the next material record update

Request Ethics Commission recommended ordinance revisions letter to council

Why now: The commission tabled proposed Ethics Ordinance amendments on 2026-05-21 (motion by Douglas Fick, seconded by Matthew Moore), then on 2026-08-20 carried a motion to send a letter on Fick's recommended revisions, across 7 appearances on this item.

What to do: Request the letter the Ethics Commission voted to send to the Mayor Pro Tem and City Council Members, plus the revisions proposed by Douglas Fick. Compare them with the amendment language tabled in May to see what changed and whether council has responded.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
