beautify? Making a list of city beautification concerns? Continue discussion in February

Tanya review the “Overview,” “Basis,” “Who” and “Charter” as stated in the ethics packet. Can
contact Tanya, city attorney or ethics board at any time with questions or concerns.
Scenario #1
Discussion progresses, majority feel she didn’t go through the process. Stands to financially gain,
should have disclosed conversation and recuse herself from vote.
Scenario #2
Group agrees the individual was wrong and the letter should not have indicated “on behalf” of
board. Discussion ensues regarding disclosing board position in letter or just writing as a citizen.

criteria and not the criteria of the city code. Group did not discuss the possibility of financial
