Mr. Santee also asked for Council to provide their feedback. After much discussion, it was the consensus of Council to have the City Attorney provide Council with copies of surrounding cities Ethics ordinance to review as well as let the Council take more time to review and do research. It was the consensus of Council this would be strictly for Council and for the chairs of the committees/boards to do the evaluations.
