Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Cynthia Jordan Delaney, Deputy City Clerk
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Appointments to the Board of Ethics
MEETING DATE: August 4, 2008
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint three members to the Board of Ethics.
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 1726, finally adopted on November 26, 2007, established the
creation of a three member Board of Ethics. Tonight the Commission has the opportunity to appoint
members to fill and constitute this board. After advertising and waiting several months to receive
applications, there are now three applicants for the three vacancies.
Ordinance No. 1726, Section 2.01.120. Board of Ethics provides
“A. There is created a Board of Ethics consisting of three (3) members who are residents of the City and
shall serve without compensation unless the governing body provides otherwise. Members of the Board
of Ethics shall not be elected officials, persons appointed to elective office, full-time appointed officials
whether exempt or nonexempt, or City employees, nor shall they be currently serving on any other City
board or commission.
B. Members of the Board shall be residents of the City and shall hold no elected public office nor any
other City office or employment.
C. Board members shall be appointed by the governing body. An appointment to fill a vacancy shall be
made by the appointing authority who appointed the member who formerly held the position which is
vacant.
D. The Board shall select its own presiding officer from among its members.
E. Board members shall serve staggered terms of two (2) years. A member shall hold office until a
member's successor is appointed. At initial appointment of the members of the board, one of the initial
members shall be appointed for a term of three (3) years and thereafter for a term of one (1) year.
F. The governing body shall provide such staff support for the Board as the governing body determines
to be necessary for the Board to fulfill its duties. The City Attorney is designated to be the legal advisor
for the Board, except that the City Attorney is not authorized to represent the Board in any legal action if

doing so would create a conflict which would prevent the City Attorney from also representing the
Mayor, the City Manager, or the governing body. The City Clerk shall serve as Recording Secretary to
the Board and shall provide such administrative services to the Board as may be necessary. Neither the
City Attorney nor the City Clerk shall be eligible for appointment as board members.”
There are currently three vacancies and three applicants who are all City residents.
New Applicants:
Rodger McCormick (City resident)
Carson Taylor (City resident)
Stephen Schultz (City resident)
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
