YES, SIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

COUNCIL MEMBERS, THE ETHICS, UH, OPINION HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM THE ETHICS

[00:10:01]

UM, IT'S AN ADVISORY OPINION, UM, AS TO WHETHER THE CODE OF GOVERNMENTAL ETHICS WOULD PROHIBIT THE MEMBERS OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND LEGISLATIVE AIDS FROM RECEIVING FREE PARKING AT CITY HALL.

THE SUMMARY OF THAT OPINION IS THAT THE BOARD CONCLUDED THAT THE ETHICS CODE DOES NOT PROHIBIT MEMBERS OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND LEGISLATIVE AIDS FROM RECEIVING FREE PARKING BENEFITS.

SINCE THE PARKING BENEFITS WOULD BE RELATED TO THEIR PUBLIC EMPLOYEE EMPLOYMENT SALARY AND OTHER EMOLUMENTS OF THEIR OFFICE PROVIDED, THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE, THE, UM, THE EXCEPTION OF THIS PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, SUBJECT TO PROVIDED THAT THE PARKING BENEFITS ARE CONSIDERED INAPPROPRIATE USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

THE BOAR COULD NOT RENDER AN OPINION ON THAT.

THEY STATED THAT THAT OPINION WOULD HAVE TO COME FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AS TO WHETHER PROVIDING THE PARKING BENEFITS WOULD BE CONSIDERED, UH, INAPPROPRIATE USE OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

THE BOARD ALSO CONCLUDED THAT THE ETHICS CODE DOES NOT PROHIBIT MEMBERS OF THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE VOTE REGARDING FREE PARKING.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SO COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'M OPEN TO DOING A REQUEST FROM THE AGS OFFICE IF EVERYBODY FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH DOING THAT.

UM, AND ACTUALLY I'M GOING TO DELETE THIS ITEM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT INCLUDE ROWDIES FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, NOT BRANDON'S FRIENDLY AMENDMENT, SO WE CAN, UH, WE CAN REINTRODUCE THE ITEM WITH THOSE AMENDMENTS AND WAIT ON THE AGS, UH, RECOMMENDATION IF THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BAT.

IS THAT A MOTION, MOTION TO DELETE SECONDED BY MOKE? ANY OPPOSITION SHOWING NONE ITEM HAS BEEN, OH, I'M SORRY.

COUNCIL MEMBER BANKS.

THERE IS NO OPPOSITION THOUGH.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

BUT I DID HAVE A, A QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IF COORDINATOR DOESN'T MIND COMING UP, PLEASE.

SORRY.

SO I, UH, I CONCUR WITH COUNCILMAN DONE.

UM, IF I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AS IT RELATES TO MOVING FORWARD IS THE PROCESS WHERE HE NOW HE HAS TO PUT AN AGENDA, INTRODUCE AN ITEM FOR THIS COUNCIL TO REQUEST THE AGS OPINION OPINION.

AND THEN DO WE HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER PUBLIC HEARING? THAT'S CORRECT.

YOU'RE CORRECT ABOUT THAT PROCESS COUNCIL, WOMAN BANKS.

THE ITEM HAS TO COME BEFORE THE COUNCIL AS A RESOLUTION TO BE VOTED UPON.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THE AG WILL BE ABLE TO RENDER AN OPINION.

THEY, OKAY.

THEY STATED THAT SEVERAL TIMES TO OUR OFFICE, THAT THAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS FOR THEM TO GET STARTED ON RESEARCHING AND RENDERING OPINION.

THEY NEED A RESOLUTION FROM THE BODY.

SO WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO INTRODUCE TO THE, THAT LAST WEEK IN JULY, THAT LAST COUNCIL MEETING IN JULY, IS THAT RIGHT? THE 30, WE CAN PROBABLY DO IT ON THE NEXT MEETING AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE.

WELL, YOU COULD DO IT YEAH.

UM, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY YOU'D NEED AID, BUT IT SHOULD DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.

UM, OR YOU COULD INTRODUCE IT ON JUNE 23RD AND BEYOND FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 20TH TO GET IT IN FROM WHATEVER.
