Pittsford commissioners told state ethics training is mandatory; complaint path outlined
Summary
Town staff told the Planning Commission the new state ethics rules require a 43‑minute online training to be completed within 120 days and explained how complaints will be routed, including an alternate reviewer if the complaint names the staff trainer.
The Pittsford Planning Commission heard from Ann Reed about new state ethics requirements that the Town has adopted for municipal boards and commissions. Reed told the commission the training must be completed within 120 days and is "a 43‑minute video followed by the questions," and she provided a link that is posted on the Town website and can also be accessed via the Town Manager’s laptop.
Reed explained the complaint process and lines of review: complaints about Planning Commission members are sent to her, while complaints naming her would be referred to Dan Adams of the Select Board. She recommended adding the training as a recurring agenda item as a reminder for members who have not yet completed it and offered to assist commission members with setup when needed. No votes were required on the training item; the briefing was informational and recorded in the minutes.
