<br />of the amendment the Council has proposed. Mr. Thomaides inquired if this
<br />Ordinance is voted down, if the City would still have an Ethics Review
<br />Commission. Mr. Mark Taylor stated yes the City would still have an
<br />Ethics Review Commission. Mr. Taylor stated he feels the amendments were
<br />written to try to keep different citizens from filing ethics charges,
<br />groundless or not, right before an election. He stated he would rather
<br />have the third amendment in the Ordinance and then change it in January,
<br />rather than vote it down now. Mr. Thomaides stated this was extended to
<br />December 31, 2004, and that was an arbitrary date. He also inquired
<br />whether the Ethics Review Commission could make their recommendations
<br />earlier than December, 2004. Mr. Mark Taylor stated it could be possible
<br />that the Ethics Review Commission could resolve their studies quicker than
<br />in a three or four month period. The Council agreed by consensus for the
<br />Ethics Review Commission to make their recommendations by November 30,
<br />2004. On roll call the following vote was recorded:
<br />
<br />AYE: Taylor.
<br />
<br />NAY: Diaz, Guerrero, Mihalkanin, Narvaiz, Thomaides and Bose.
<br />
<br />ABSTAIN: None.
