Rules Committee continues Ethics Commission appointment to May 8 after chair apology

Supervisor Matt Dorsey, chair of the Rules Committee, apologized on Monday for an oversight that led to an Ethics Commission appointment appearing on the committee agenda and moved to continue the matter to May 8, 2023. "The published agenda was actually a version control error on my part, mea culpa," Dorsey said.

Clerk Victor Young had introduced Item 1 as a hearing to appoint one member to the Ethics Commission for a term ending Feb. 1, 2029. Dorsey said he had told some community members and one applicant he did not intend to call the item this week and asked the committee’s forgiveness for the mistake.

The committee took no public comment on the continuance. On a roll call, Vice Chair Shimon Walton, Supervisor Asha Safaee, and Chair Dorsey voted "aye," and the motion to continue the matter to May 8 passed without objection.

The item will return to the Rules Committee agenda for further consideration on that date.
