The Austin Ethics Review Commission convened on September 24, 2025, to address several agenda items, beginning with the approval of amendments to the minutes from the June 25, 2025, meeting. Commissioner Benitez confirmed that the amendment involved a minor correction to the vote count, which was inaccurately recorded as a 3 to 5 vote. The commission unanimously approved the revised minutes following a motion by Commissioner Freddie and a second by Commissioner Kiel.

The second item on the agenda involved the approval of the regular minutes from the previous month's meeting. Commissioner Prady noted that he had made a few small editing changes, which did not alter the substance of the minutes. After a brief review period, Commissioner Prady moved to approve the August minutes, with Commissioner Figueroa providing a second. The motion passed, although Commissioner Lowe abstained from voting.

Following the approval of the minutes, the commission chair reminded members that they could enter into executive session at any point during the discussions if necessary. The meeting then progressed to items three and four, which were designated for briefings, indicating a shift towards more substantive discussions on the agenda.

Overall, the meeting proceeded smoothly, with all motions passing without opposition, setting a collaborative tone for the upcoming briefings.
