(Added by Ord. 07-43) Chapter l4 Ethics Board of Aopeals Page 1 of 3 Board of Ethics Declaratory Order DO 19-001 Background The County of Kaua`i Board of Ethics (“Board”) received a transmittal dated January 9, 2019, from Lyle Tabata with a request for an advisory opinion regarding Donald Fujimoto’s outside employment. Attached was an “Outside Employment Request” dated January 8, 2019 from Donald Fujimoto, CE VI, Project Management Engineer for the Department of Public Works, Engineering Division, as to whether there is a conflict of interest for Mr. Fujimoto to act as an RME (Responsible Managing Employee) for random firms and individuals while acting in his current capacity for the Department of Public Works. The Board convened in regular session on February 15, 2019 to consider Mr. Fujimoto’s request. With the consent of Mr. Fujimoto on February 15, 2019, to give the Board more time to consider his request, the Board convened on March 15, 2019 and on April 12, 2019. On February 15, 2019, Mr. Fujimoto referenced two prior Advisory Opinions (RAO 13- 006 and RAO 18-004) as a precedence which would warrant the granting of his outside employment request as an RME (responsible managing employee). Having obtained all the information deemed necessary to make a proper determination regarding the request and to terminate any controversy and remove any uncertainty concerning the application of the Code of Ethics, the Board renders this Declaratory Order (DO 19-001) pursuant to the Charter of the County of Kaua’i and Rule 10 of the Kaua’i County Board of Ethics Rules and Regulations. BOE 2019-26 Page 2 of 3 Applicable Law With regard to this request, the Board considered the following provisions of the Kaua`i County Charter in rendering this Advisory Opinion: Section 20.02. No officer or employee of the county shall: ***** A. Solicit, accept, or receive, directly or indirectly, any gift, whether in the form of money, service, loan, travel, entertainment, hospitality, thing, or promise, or in any other form, under circumstances in which it can reasonably be inferred that the gift is intended to influence the officer or employee in the performance of the officer or employee’s official duties or is intended as a reward for any official action on the officer or employee’s part. B. Disclose information which, by law or practice, is not available to the public and which the officer or employee acquires in the course of the officer or employee’s official duties or use such information for the officer or employee’s personal gain or for the benefit of anyone. C. Acquire financial interest in business enterprises which the officer or employee may be directly involved in official action to be taken by the officer or employee. D. Appear on behalf of private interests before any county board, commission, or agency. E. Use the officer or employee’s official position to secure a special benefit, privilege, or exemption for the officer or employee or others. F. Use county property for other than public activity or purpose. County of Kaua`i Charter, Section 20.04(B) states that: Any elected official, appointed officer, employee, or any member of a board or commission who possess or acquires such interest as might reasonably tend to create a conflict with such person’s duties or authority, or who is an owner, officer, executive director or director of an organization, or whose member of such person’s immediate family, which includes parents, siblings, spouse or children, is an owner, officer, executive director or director of an organization in any matter pending before such person shall make full disclosure of the conflict of interest and shall not participate in said matter. Page 3 of 3 Order Based on the foregoing Code of Ethics provisions contained in the Kaua`i County Charter, a deeper understanding of the role of an RME, the inherent conflicts that creates and to to terminate any controversy and remove any uncertainty concerning the application of the Code of Ethics, the Board hereby revokes RAO 13-006 and RAO 18-004. Inasmuch as the Board’s discussions and deliberations concerning this matter were conducted in a duly noticed open meeting of the Board of Ethics, no redacted version of the Advisory Opinion shall be prepared. With a quorum being present and voting, this declaratory order was rendered by the Board at its meeting on April 12, 2019. This order notwithstanding may be overruled or super seceded by subsequent orders by the Board of Ethics.
