The Mount Vernon Board of Ethics convened on July 25, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, primarily focusing on scheduling and attendance for upcoming meetings.

The meeting commenced with a motion to exit executive session, which was unanimously approved. Following this, members deliberated on the necessity of holding a meeting in August, given that many members would be on vacation. A motion was proposed to forgo the August meeting, which was seconded and passed without opposition. The board agreed to reconvene on September 25, 2025, marking the next scheduled meeting.

During the discussions, the board also addressed the inclusion of Gina Donaldson, the new FOIL officer from the corporation counsel's office, in future meetings. Members expressed the importance of her attendance and welcomed any representatives from the corporation counsel's office to participate.

As the meeting drew to a close, a motion to adjourn was made and approved, concluding the session at 8:48 PM. The board's next meeting is set for September 25, 2025, following a brief hiatus in August.
