Committee introduced draft ethics charter language; fuller discussion set for work session

Nov 13, 2025

The Carl Vinson Institute presented drafted ethics charter language covering conflicts of interest, procurement and a proposed board of ethics; committee members agreed to discuss those sections further at the upcoming work session rather than complete final votes on Nov. 13.

The full story

Doctor Facer from the Carl Vinson Institute presented a drafted ethics package for the charter on Nov. 13 that included a conflicts-of-interest section, ethics in hiring/contracting/procurement, reporting processes for violations, meeting participation alternatives and creation of a board of ethics. He said some items may be better handled in ordinance and that the packet contained hypotheticals to guide discussion.
