BoardCommon Council Committee of the Whole of the City of Lawrence Committee Meeting
The committee discussed two primary agenda items: proposal number 1, related to municipal code amendments regarding professional service contract expenditures, and proposal number 3, an ordinance adopting a code of ethics. The committee voted to table proposal number 1 for a later meeting to ensure both proposals could be considered simultaneously after further review. Discussion on the ethics ordinance covered provisions regarding potential conflicts of interest, the effective dates of specific sections such as sexual harassment training and economic statements of interest, and the impact of these regulations on current and future city officials, employees, and those doing business with the city.
