Committee recommends tabling revised ethics code to next council to allow new council review
Summary
The Judicial & Legislative Committee voted to recommend tabling the revised ethics code (second reading) so the incoming council can consider it; legal counsel explained tabling would restart the readings and the effective date had been set for Jan. 1.
Committee members debated whether to proceed with a second reading of a revised ethics code and ultimately voted to recommend tabling the ordinance so the incoming council can review it.
One committee member moved to table, saying the changes would not take effect until Jan. 1 and could be considered by the next council. Legal counsel explained that tabling in committee would mean the ordinance would need to restart its reading process under the new council if it returns. The committee agreed to recommend tabling the item to full council for the Sept. 10 agenda; no substantive amendments were adopted in committee.
