Board forms permitted interaction group to review Charter 10‑4.3 and reopens advisory opinion on Imua Family Services
Summary
The Board of Ethics established a Permitted Interaction Group to examine Charter Section 10‑4.3 (contracts involving officers or employees), and unanimously voted to reopen Advisory Opinion 26A‑24 concerning Caleb Rowe’s board service pending the PIG’s recommendations.
Chair Michael Lilly said Charter Section 10-4.3 is dated and contains undefined terms that have produced unintended results in past Board decisions, and proposed a permitted interaction group (PIG) to prepare a focused recommendation. Vice Chair Katy Shroder and Member Bryan Tanaka were proposed as PIG members alongside Chair Lilly, and the Board voted unanimously to form the group.
In light of the PIG’s formation, the Board voted to reopen Advisory Opinion 26A-24, the matter concerning Deputy Corporation Counsel Caleb Rowe’s service on the board of Imua Family Services. Chair Lilly framed the move as a prudential pause: depending on the PIG’s recommendations, the controlling legal framework could change and warrant amendment or re-opening of the prior advisory opinion.
The motions were made and adopted without recorded opposition. The reopening pauses final action on 26A-24 and directs the Board to consider the PIG’s recommendations before reaching a final determination.
