As a result of an audit of some public entities, which showed unreasonable expenditures by public officials, a new State law was passed, and became effective January 1, 2006. The law attempts to increase accountability for compensation and reimbrsement of members of legislative bodies, and impose ethics trianing on members of legislative bodies and elected officials. The law expressly says it applies to charter cities, which is an unresolved legal issue. The legislature asserts the law should apply to charter cities because it addresses a statewide concern, (e.g., transparency in the activities of local government). AD Lillard wanted the Commission to be aware that members of city legislative bodies and any elected city official must get two hours of ethics training every two years, if the city provides compensation or reimbursement to any legistlative body member. The city must provide infromatin on availab e trainining to these individuals at least one a year. Incumbents must complete their training by next January. Newcomers must receive the trainin in their first year. Records must be kept for five years. Chair Ingram stated that he will be contacting a few architects to walk through the Veteran's Building.
