Commissioner asks whether Code of Ethics could replace separate conflict policy
Summary
Commissioner Steve Yoder asked during the June 12 meeting whether the proposed Code of Ethics would be sufficient in place of the county's existing Conflict of Interest policy and suggested legal advice on whether both are necessary; committee agreed to seek legal guidance.
During discussion of the draft Code of Ethics, Commissioner Steve Yoder asked if the County needed both the new Code of Ethics and a separate Conflict of Interest policy, recommending legal review to resolve the question. The minutes record that "Commissioner Yoder suggested having legal tell us if the Code of Ethics Policy would satisfy as our Conflict of Interest, where we wouldn’t have to have both."
Chairman Alan Campbell confirmed the committee will wait for legal feedback and then determine whether an additional meeting or a further draft would be necessary. No formal decision was made at this meeting; the matter will return to the committee after legal review.
