Board of Ethics notes about 10 outstanding disclosures, moves to executive session
Summary
The Mount Vernon Board of Ethics recorded that roughly 10 people had not submitted 2024 financial disclosures and voted to go into executive session to address confidentiality and follow-up; members said follow-up must occur in closed session.
The Mount Vernon Board of Ethics recorded that several people had not filed 2024 financial disclosures and moved into executive session to discuss follow-up. During a meeting that opened at 6:35 p.m., a board member said "there are still several individuals... I did give you the list" and that two entries were removed because one person retired and one was a new appointee, leaving "about 10" names still outstanding.
Lehi Alford asked whether the matter should be discussed in executive session, and another member agreed that executive session was appropriate. Chair Curtis Braxton said the board would "close out the financial disclosure fees from 2024" during closed session.
A motion to go into executive session was made by Alford and seconded by Braxton; the transcript records the board entering executive session at 6:45 p.m.
The discussion in public focused on status: a list of nonfilers exists, some names required removal because of retirement or new appointment, and the board indicated the details and next steps would be handled in executive session rather than in public. No formal public action altering filing requirements was taken during the recorded public session.
