ACTION ITEMS
The Board of Ethics may take action and make a decision regarding any of the
items listed.
Disclosure of Information or Comments Received (Carraway)
The Board members received an e-mail from Bozeman City Commissioner Chris Mehl regarding the gift provision in
the Ethics Handbook and whether it needed clarification. The Board agreed to add this item to the agenda for discussion at the next meeting.
City Attorney’s Update (Stambaugh) – nothing
to report
Approval of the 2016 Annual Ethics Report
Provide recommendations from the Board to be included in the report.
Board agrees that the report was well done and to the point
and appreciated that it was concluded with the numbers of attendees.
Discussion among board members about how to get feedback about the training – specifically the board members, as
the boards had stated that previous training was not relevant to them.
Mellisa Frost suggested in the summary of boards decisions section of the report, that “city attorney provides” should be “provided”.
Motion to approve by Mary Jane.
Second by Mellisa
Frost.
Unanimously approved.
Reopened action item to discuss board recommendations to be added to the report.
Board suggests to do a survey of those who took training (specifically
board members) to gauge how effective/relevant training was. This was the first year doing two separate training sessions, so it would be helpful to know if board-focused training was
more effective and well received.
