Shall the Code of Ethics be amended to allow members of boards and commissions to appear before boards they are not a member of to represent private interests?
It’s an issue that voters may take up in this year’s election if the County Council approves a resolution today authorizing the ballot question.
Councilwoman JoAnn Yukimura, who will introduce the measure during the County Council’s public meeting, wrote in a March 21 County Council memo the proposed change would allow county officers or employees to represent private interests before boards, commissions or agencies for which they are not serving or employed.
The Kauai County Charter currently does not allow any officer or employee to “appear on behalf of private interests before any county board, commission or agency.”
The meeting is scheduled at 8:30 a.m. in the Historic County Building’s Council Chambers in Lihue.
