At the Jan. 28, 2026 meeting of the City of Austin Ethics Review Commission, members approved routine housekeeping items and appointed a new secretary.

The commission then considered a revised regular meeting calendar. Vice Chair Sharkey moved to approve the calendar and Commissioner Louis Therupigueroa seconded; the calendar was approved unanimously after staff confirmed room availability.
Chair Ross Pumphrey announced a vacancy in the secretary position after Commissioner Matern resigned because his job required relocation. Commissioner Claire Reynolds volunteered to serve as secretary; Pumphrey said, "So, commissioner Reynolds, is now our secretary unless there are any objections." No objections were raised, and Reynolds was designated secretary by assent.
