Summary
The commission approved a revised disclosure form under section 40.07 to standardize reporting of city contracts that involve relatives of employees, elected officials or appointed officials; the vote was unanimous.
The Muncie Ethics Commission on May 14 adopted a revised disclosure form for submissions under section 40.07 to capture contracts between the city and relatives of city employees, elected officials and appointed officials.
The form was updated following prior discussion and is intended to standardize reporting of potential conflicts related to familial contracts. The item was treated as old business, public input was permitted for this portion of the meeting but none appeared, and the commission voted to adopt the form by roll call.
The roll-call vote approving the form recorded yes votes from Commissioner Chip Taylor, Commissioner Susan Dillon, Commissioner Jim Lowe, Commissioner W.C. Edwards and Commissioner Sandra Whitaker. Commissioners also acknowledged HR Director Patty Goddard for producing concise online training videos intended to help employees and appointees understand ordinance boundaries and disclosure requirements.
Commissioners said they would post related purchasing documentation and form guidance to the transparency portal ahead of future meetings for additional review.
