#580 requesting reconsideration of Complaint #2005-1
“At their regularly scheduled meeting on October 11, 2005 the Board of Ethics took into consideration your request for reconsideration of complaint #2005-1.
The Board has asked me to inform you that it is their procedure to address complaints
within seven (7) days of receipt whenever possible. The board routinely notifies
complainants of the date and time of such special meetings, just as they notified you. In order to respond in a timely way, the Board did meet within seven days of receipt of your
complaint, and rendered a decision based on the information you provided and the
provisions of the ethics ordinance.
In deference to your request for reconsideration the Board would like to offer you the courtesy of addressing them at their next regularly scheduled meeting, which is to be held
on November 9, 2005. If you would like to be included on the agenda at that meeting,
please contact Ethics Board Secretary and City Clerk, Debbie Miner. You are, of course,
welcome to attend any meeting of the Board of Ethics without prior notice if you wish to
speak under public comment.
The Wednesday, November 9, 2005 Ethics Board Meeting will be held at 5:30 P.M. in the
City Council Conference Room on the 10th Floor of Lansing City Hall. Please note this change in the board's regularly-scheduled meeting time (2nd Tuesday) because of the
conflict with Election Day in November.”
