The board first moved into a closed session to consider a confidential advisory-opinion request. After returning to open session the board voted to approve and distribute the response to advisory-opinion request 2025-03. The motion passed with aye votes recorded.

The board then considered a new ethics complaint listed on the agenda as \"potential violation 2025-05.\" After discussion, a board member moved to decline the complaint under the board's cited basis, referenced in the transcript as \"2G\" and \"115262Gs,\" indicating the allegations, if true, would not constitute a violation of the code of ethics. The motion to decline was seconded and carried.

Both actions were taken in open session after the closed deliberation and were recorded on the meeting minutes; the board did not vote to open the detailed closed-session record in public. The transcript records the motions and the aye votes for both items but does not provide additional public findings or the advisory-opinion text itself within the meeting record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Ethics Meeting - July 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After a closed session on July 17 the Board of Ethics voted to approve and distribute its response to request for advisory opinion 2025-03 and voted to decline an ethics complaint (2025-05) citing the board rule 2(G) / 115262Gs as the basis for declining.","taxTitle","Anchorage Municipality, Alaska","taxId",2653,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6161756,"Board of Ethics adopts annual report, staff to present it to assembly rules committee",99,365000,464000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5440933-230add8bd2a5b4edda2d52c8361d2b02&start=365&end=464","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5440933-230add8bd2a5b4edda2d52c8361d2b02/thumbnail_365000.jpg","/articles/6161756/Anchorage-Municipality/Alaska/Board-of-Ethics-adopts-annual-report-staff-to-present-it-to-assembly-rules-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161756-b84e551a17e0fb1e4e9877323da5dbb4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144975&Signature=AdSkwWXB21CFVVdSsC1AIWmx0AX7U5dSx37knQyVVoVvrbieWOeRkUdZHGcH~fhelGaKgylWWVwByzATaArh45kpvirKlJtcv4kRidwRqdm1zCAkMeayZV0c2rkQ-LqyqLltolfwEI9amNFcPPqlL1jzStTMKQ8mLmksyES3aAwzPLN7Gkd6Di6Mf8WDG~NOstrpYouQrN3K~AntrKCSZiIt0P6yxf0FYrUgzxzdiWKBduA5~XJlTsakiJ4t0wCC8ork04PF8737vbnl5yt4zmpQ9BOj1iZq33QBsWxgcCCEZJ2OTfKGQDiTdwxanT9SilyZTm-cCijWTImdG7mlTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Ethics voted July 17 to approve and adopt its annual report summarizing the board's work and recommendations.

Paul, a board member who drafted the report, told the board the document accurately summarized the past year and contained recommendations for improving the municipal ethics process. A board member noted a misspelling on the report's cover letter; the board adopted the report with that minor correction noted for revision.

A staff member advised the board that the report will be transmitted to the assembly rules committee and that the board's representative is commonly asked to be present to answer questions when the report is considered. \"If any board member wants to attend too and, you know, represent the board, you're certainly welcome to,\" the staff member said. The board approved the report and the practice of having a board representative available when the report is considered by the rules committee.

No budgetary or enforcement actions were taken as part of the adoption; the action was limited to approving and transmitting the annual report.","The Board of Ethics approved and adopted its annual report at the July 17 meeting; the report, drafted by a board member, will be presented to the assembly rules committee, and board members were invited to attend when it is considered.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6161761,"Board of Ethics will ask purchasing director why school disclosure form requires notarization",92,224000,316000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5440933-230add8bd2a5b4edda2d52c8361d2b02&start=224&end=316","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5440933-230add8bd2a5b4edda2d52c8361d2b02/thumbnail_224000.jpg","/articles/6161761/Anchorage-Municipality/Alaska/Board-of-Ethics-will-ask-purchasing-director-why-school-disclosure-form-requires-notarization","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161761-79eb29eb1b5c932f475687afca50236a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144975&Signature=NWBH7o1RKviAzd~03eDL6LavbCXZY9Jup8wuQBVJ7DCgFARqFs8BjdC9Vft4cRuhjPa0Ukvj5ulotT0c~L20madTR4YfGw68mGUUq-Hhmry-xtEswPly-j4AymAWqmT2DxlO1RI6mjbzc3xWvB8X7vFCZ6SaZYNEMunWD-HNk-R1KLtHs9o0KQ0IN8G7yGJ~F9ycDX-qK9kH7oDarjz-Mx~eIFedQs9XALVbR0ZY0lwSnVXFf28~I~MTJTKT~RRQnQ7n-4Jf74ygiml6DyjR0FyjCyRMQWw1rDXhV2act9r~oNaBnW1au~ROj-9CsRCVtVqmkQC8YiUuwjJ807QGuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Ethics on July 17 approved its consent agenda and instructed a board member to ask the municipal purchasing director why certain school disclosure forms require notarization.

Board of Ethics members voted to approve the consent agenda as a block after a brief discussion. Paul, a board member, raised questions about the notarization requirement on ASD disclosure forms and said the requirement appeared to create an unnecessary filing burden for front-line school employees.

Paul, board member, said, \"A lot of these forms are like teachers and substitute teachers, and, you know, they have no impact in reviewing contracts at all, and there's no role for them to like, potential for a conflict. But their forms require them to get that notarized, which seems to impose some sort of a little bit of a burden. We just wanna make it as easy as possible for them to file. But maybe, they could just change that form or we find out why they do that.\" The board chair agreed and authorized Paul to contact the purchasing director to seek the reason for the notarization requirement and whether it could be removed or changed.

A board member noted the municipal \"Munis\" form does not contain a comparable notarization requirement. The board did not take formal regulatory action beyond directing Paul to inquire; the consent items themselves were approved without further amendment.

Next steps: Paul will reach out to the purchasing director and report back to the board; no deadline for that follow-up was set during the meeting.","At its July 17 meeting the Board of Ethics approved the consent agenda and directed a board member to ask the purchasing director why certain school disclosure forms require notarization, which board members said may create an unnecessary burden for teachers and substitutes.","actionData","errors"]
