New ethics board member asks council to modernize 36‑year‑old code and create independent reporting path

Carla Kanesi, who said she was appointed to the local ethics board, presented a comprehensive list of proposed updates to Monroeville's ethics code, which she described as 36 years old and in need of alignment with current Pennsylvania requirements. She called for a direct reporting path to the ethics board rather than requiring complainants to submit signed reports first to the municipal manager, saying that structure creates a conflict of interest when the manager is the subject of complaints.
