city of south miami commission meeting may 5 2015 city attorney thomas pepe and um also ah I just want to advise you that I received an ethics opinion I shared with commissioner liebman ah but it it will affect everyone and as a result of that I have uh I will be proposing the next commission meeting an amendment to the ethics code the commission on ethics mr centerino stated or or informed me by way of ah an opinion that non of the commissioners can promote any non profit events in which fees are or money is going to be accepted ah without some exception in our ethics code the county has an exception in their ethics code to allow ah the city employees city manager to solicit donations for things like fourth of july fireworks they also have an exception for ah the commissioners to allow them to promote non profit events and the problem is that their opinion is such ah such promotion is a gift solicited by by the commissioner or whoever it is that thats making thats trying to promote the event because you are making a gift to a non non not only a non profit but the non profit is going to be giving the money to a charity so you are soliciting money for someone else and as a result its a gift and its attributable to you and it would be a violation of the ethics code without an exception so Im going to be proposing an exception to our ethics code so that basically will track dade county ethics code exception
