c9 <br />.r <br />Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 9 and CHCCS Elementary <br />School #10 and said that they need to break out planning on this item. The separate <br />item of planning would be different than the construction. Chair Jacobs said that they <br />were going to front CHCCS some planning money and Donna Dean said that they would <br />look into this. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis said that he would appreciate a breakdown on the <br />planning money for CHCCS Elementary #10 since the architect has already designed <br />this same school at Rashkis. It should be a reduced fee. <br />3. Financial Disclosure for BOCC and Senior Staff <br />Chair Jacobs said that he brought this up a few years ago at the retreat. He sees <br />this as full disclosure. He thinks that it would be useful to know what non-profit boards <br />the County Commissioners serve on, and when those boards come to request funds, <br />then there should be some limit on gifts that the County Commissioners take or that <br />senior staff takes. He just wants to be honest with the public so that.there are no <br />questions. He thinks it is relevant what his close family members do for a living in <br />Orange County and what businesses he has a stake in around Orange County. He <br />suggested making a list of some of the areas of interest. He made reference to the <br />material from Geof.Gledhill that states that they may not be able to retroactively ask <br />senior staff to disclose information,'but they can from now on. <br />Commissioner Gordon recommended the TTA disclosure form. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis fully endorsed the idea. <br />John Link suggested that he, Rod Visser, and Gwen Harvey abide by the <br />City/County Manager's Code of Ethics and that other departments -Purchasing, <br />Budget, Finance -also abide by their specific codes of ethics. <br />Chair Jacobs said that the ultimate goal is that the County is ethical and proud to <br />say so. <br />The Board .agreed. <br />Geof Gledhill will bring back a report. . <br />With no further items to. discuss a motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, <br />seconded by Commissioner Gordon to adjourn the meeting at 8:54 p.m. <br />Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />a~ <br />Donna S.
