Committees - Regular Meeting

Okay. I have one more minute and I have the verbal trial. It seems exact. Does anyone want to propose his adoption?

I propose to adopt it.

All in favor? Comments from the public. You know, we had some comments from the public during the voting of the code of ethics. I don't think I've had any since, because we do most of our work in executive sessions. It's not like there were a lot of comments from the public in there. So I don't know. Despite the active public that exists, they don't come to these meetings. Very good, that's also good.

Is Judge Maurice supposed to be there?

Oh yes.

Yes, is she? She is not, I don't think she is. Say she is.

She is supposed to. She is going. She.

I think she won't be.

Elle essaye. Elle essaye de baisser, mais elle est dans un hôpital quelque part où son mari passe un examen de routine. Elle doit le ramener à la maison. Donc elle n'était pas sûre de pouvoir se connecter via Zoom.

Donc elle n'est pas là.

Oui, mais peut-être qu'elle nous rejoindra dans l'heure. Donc nous... Would you like to introduce yourself to the board?

My name is Phil Siegel. My office is in Bohemia.

My office is Siegel & Sittler.

Sittler is my sister and we have been working together for a little over 10 years. I do a lot of municipal work. Over the years, I have represented many municipalities. Currently, I represent the city among others. of Riverhead, the village of Amityville, a certain... district of firefighters. And I do a lot of zoning work and contracts. I represent, I am a councillor, which I think is the reason why you and I are in contact, at least. I am a councillor with the Ethics Committee of the city of Riverhead, which is quite distinct from the rest of the work I do for the city. And... I appreciated, you know, I have to say, over the last two years, to do this. So I can't wait to work with you. Very different. I already see a lot of differences that, you know, we can discuss along the way. But I'm curious to learn how you proceed and to provide my assistance when it's appropriate, when you're looking for it.

And we are happy to have you. Assistant, someone is coming. It's him to talk to you. Deborah is coming. Okay. Thank you Phil, we are happy to welcome you.

Thank you. Deborah is coming. Deborah is here.

Okay. In the meantime... Le gars du langage clair, nous lui avons posé une question par email à laquelle il n'a pas répondu. Vous avez dit, pourquoi est-ce qu'il est différent de cet autre gars du langage clair ? Oui, et c'est parce que Laura a eu cette brillante idée.

Moi, je suis désolée de tout le monde.

Phil Desbois, ravi de vous rencontrer.

Moi aussi.

C'est parce que Laura a eu la brillante idée de faire un guide des choses, à faire et à ne pas faire, en pensant que c'était plus concret.

J'adore ça. Je pourrais peut-être le piquer pour l'autre ville. J'aime l'idée d'être proactif, hein. Vous savez, faire savoir à tout le monde, hé, il existe ce code d'éthique, soyez-en simplement conscients. Ranger, vous n'avez pas besoin de connaître les réponses, sachez juste que des problèmes peuvent survenir.

Euh, quoi ?

Oui, c'est bien.

Et nous avons la chance qu'Amber et Benjamin soient nos agents de liaison auprès du Conseil. Et Amber vient à chaque réunion depuis longtemps maintenant. Et nous sommes ravis de vous avoir aussi. Et je me demande, comment pensez-vous que nous puissions diffuser cela ? Et existe-t-il une réunion des présidents pour ce genre de Conseil ?

J'ai eu une réunion et aussi une formation à la plage. J'en ai eu une il y a deux ans. En retard, mais... C'est ce que j'aime. Nous pourrions donc le présenter à ce moment-là. Et d'ici là, nous pouvons aussi simplement le distribuer à tous les chefs de service. Cela peut aller au président de nos comités. Et ensuite, ils peuvent demander. Les citations peut-être aussi, juste en premier à tous les membres.

Yes, that's great. And I would be happy to sit down with them and answer questions because it raises questions for people. Karen asked me some time ago to come talk to the Urbanism Service. And I didn't really have the material to do it. And of course, you don't want to lock yourself in, but we're doing a Q&A session. I think people, yes, I'm totally in for that. Comments on this document or on the fact that it's a good idea to broadcast it quickly to everyone.

And I was halfway through the re-reading, well, a kind of editorial re-reading, not on the bottom, and I said to myself that I didn't even know if I had to do that or if it was just over.

It's over. I think so. For a few years, a few years.

Yes, because I said that I didn't change the meaning, it's just a lot of little things. Grammatically, it would sound better, if such a point. If it's that kind of little details without importance.

Very well, if you know. It's not yet engraved in the marble. I just want it to be done.

Yeah, no, I think it's an excellent idea. Everyone should see it. Okay.

It's the main point of the public day order. Then we have to go to the private session.

And you can wait here.

I would like to invite you at the beginning of this private session to talk, you know, about questions concerning several employees. So I propose that we move on to the private session.

Press. Whatever.
