Business Items tentatively scheduled for April 20, 2016: Robinson stated currently there are no applications. Both Stuart and Meseck will be out of town on April 20, 2016. Staff Comments: None heard. Board Comments: Meseck says there was a lot of discussion last month about issues dnd procedures. I took note of the comments from Board Member Campbell about introduction to the Board. I concur with that. I was in a very similar situation. I was brought on to be an alternate at one point, was told to show up to see how it runs, and my name was up on the dais and they needed me. I jumped in. I think it would be nice to have an introduction at some point for new members to get them up to speed. I don't know how far City Council would allow us to go. Ewy says an orientation packet of the last minutes for the previous year's meetings might be helpful to see the tone and tenor and types of cases. I felt the same way when I started. Everyone knew each other and I just showed up and jumped in. DeJong asks about Ethics Training. Is there a meeting scheduled? Robinson says they have not been scheduled yet. I will send out an email once we get the dates for them. It will be in the next couple months. Ethics Training is every two years. Anyone is welcome to go. Open Government and Ethics packet is n line. The City Attorney runs the Ethics training. Campbell asks Robinson if he was here when there were us attorneys other than Sam. Robinson says Sam Light has been the City Attorney for close to 20 years, since the late 1990s. Campbell says he was a member of another legal firm. Robinson says his firm has changed names a few times but it is basically the same firm. It was Light, Harrington, and Dawes, then Light, Kelly, and Dawes. His firm represents several cities in Colorado. Stuart says he is the City Attorney for a number of other cities. Campbell says I have lived in Louisville for 28 years. The City Attorney was Susan Griffith and I think Sam was part of her law firm. There was a lady named Tammy Tenoye who was the legal person behind the Ethics Code. I don't know if she is part of Sam's firm. She was the one who conducted all the meetings for the Board of Ethics. Robinson says I am not familiar with her so I don't believe she is still with his firm. Adjourn: Stuart moved and Ewy seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed by voice vote. The meeting adjourned at 7:15 PM.
