COUNTY'S ETHICS ORDINANCE - STATE GIFT LAW - DISCUSSION <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 9, 1996: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Commissioner Fran B. Adams, Chairman -51�k <br />DATE: December 9, 1996 <br />SUBJECT: November 14, 1996 Memo from T. O'Brien to the BCC re Changes <br />To the State Gift Law <br />Based on the new statutes for gifts and meals, etc., is there any interest by <br />the Commission in reviewing the County's Ethics Ordinance and make it coincide <br />with the State of Florida's ordinance, or do you prefer to leave it as it now stands. <br />One of the reasons I am bringing this up is that there has been expressed to <br />me some feeling that perhaps the Commissioners seem aloof in their dealings with <br />the public and businesses because of not wanting to partake in or visit an open <br />house, or anniversary celebration, for fear of violating the County code. <br />If you would express your feelings on the matter, I would be very grateful. <br />If there is any interest, I will put it on the agenda for discussion. <br />Commissioner Macht requested that the question be deferred <br />until he had an opportunity to discuss it with the legal <br />department. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously agreed to <br />table this item until the first or second week in <br />January, 1997. <br />LIBRARY SUPPORT <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 91 1996: <br />TO • DATE F Z L E : <br />Alice White, Executive December 9, 1996 <br />Aid to the Board <br />SUBJECT - <br />Library Supports„S i F?0_8jjTjQj ;S+?
