Committee advances Dr. Carolyn Carter’s nomination to Board of Ethics to formal session
Summary
The Internal Operations Committee voted to combine Dr. Carolyn Carter’s interview with an accompanying resolution and move both to formal session with a recommendation to approve after she described outreach and public‑education priorities for the Board of Ethics.
Dr. Carolyn Carter, a lifelong Detroiter with a doctorate in educational leadership, told the committee she wants to serve on the Board of Ethics to "ensure the public trust and integrity" of the panel and to educate residents about the board’s role.
"I want to serve on this committee because I think it's important to ensure the public trust and integrity of this board," Carter said, describing outreach and community education as central to her approach. Committee members asked how she would communicate the board’s mission and discussed using outreach and partnerships to raise public understanding of ethics processes.
Member Benson praised Carter’s background and moved to combine the interview (line item 6) with the supporting resolution (line item 9.1) and to move both to formal session with a recommendation to approve. The chair called for objections and, hearing none, directed that action be taken.
The committee’s action sends Carter’s nomination and the attached resolution to the full council for consideration. The committee did not take a final vote on the appointment itself; formal action will occur at the subsequent full session.
