Revised article: Portland ethics commission advances draft code, debates coverage for volunteers, contractors and disclosure thresholds

(Revised) The commission agreed to insert a preamble and asked staff to draft language while debating inclusion of volunteers and independent contractors, a local 5% management-interest standard, a $2,500 disclosure threshold and whether disclosure requires immediate recusal or review by an accountability officer; public comment urged shortening a 5-business-day filing window to three.
