Communication BOE 2021-29 Email received October 5, 2021 from Lonnie Sykos to the Charter Review
Commission and the Board of Ethics asking what is acceptable ethical actions by our
officials.
Chair Burriss noted that there were specific items addressed to the Board of Ethics, but
not in the form of a complaint. She asked Deputy County Attorney Larrimore if it would
be appropriate to send a response.
Deputy County Attorney Aaron Larrimore responded that the complaint is from a
community member and he hasn’t alleged any particular complaint. He stated that the
communication was also published. If the Board wants to follow up and clarify that if he
wants more to done he would need to follow the requirements of the Charter and Code to
send in a complaint, it would be in order.

Business BOE 2021-30 Discussion and possible action on letter from Charter Review Commission
regarding request for proposals to amend the Charter.
Chair Burriss asked Administrator Ellen Ching if she thought there was anything that the
Board should be looking at for Charter amendments.
Ms. Ching said no, none has come to mind, and reminded the Board that a number of
complaints was received from the community regarding former Councilmember Brun.
She is not sure if that would be something that the Board of Ethics would want to take up
as a proposal. She stated that many community members were not aware that the
Board’s purview is limited to specific violations to the Code of Ethics. Other issue that
was tabled was fine structure. She noted that this is a very preliminary stage of the
process. A simple paragraph on what want to see changed and why is sufficient. The
Charter Commission may invite someone from the Board to explain the proposal at one
of their meetings, they will discuss and then decide if they want to move forward. It’s at
that point that more extensive work will need to be done on proposal.
Chair Burriss asked if there are any other groups or boards likely to propose any
amendments.
Administrator Ching stated that there has been some discussion. The two things that
potentially will be discussed before Charter Review is the issue of districting, and rank
voting. She explained that districting has come up before and that rank voting gives the
option to vote as to who is first, second and third choice, a different way of conducting an
election. Also not sure if discussions will come up regarding avoiding the cost of a
special election.
Chair Burriss asked if there was a timeframe and whether the members could go home
and think about this and perhaps propose something next month.
Administrator Ching confirmed that would be fine.

Dear Mr. Sykos:
One of the functions of the Board is to initiate, receive, hear, and investigate complaints of violation of
the code of ethics regarding complaints involving county officers. (See the following page, item #1).
The code of ethics is defined by the Kauai County Charter. (See the following page, item f2)
Thus, when the Board of Ethics received your communication, the Board was looking at the whether you
were making a specific complaint against a county officer or whether you were generally expressing
your opinion about recent actions taken by the County. The Board could not determine that you were
making a specific complaint.
The Kaua'i County Board of Ethics Rules and Regulations - Part 1 describe the requirements to file a
complaint at Rule 6.1(a). (See the following page, item S3). Should you wish to file a complaint in the
future, please include a concise statement of the facts constituting the alleged violation of the code of
ethics, the name and position of the person allegedly violating the code of ethics, and sign the complaint
under oath.
Attached you will find the Board complaint form and procedures for filing a complaint for further
reference.
The Board appreciates your time in bringing this issue before it.

ORDINANCE NO. 1100 BILL NO. 2830 ------
A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3,
KAUA'I COUNTY CODE 1987, AS AMENDED,
RELATING TO FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF KAUA'I, STATE
OFHAWAI'I:
SECTION 1. Findings and purpose. The Council finds that a range of
important government operations are conducted by employees working underneath
the Mayor and department heads and deputies. These employees are engaged in
sensitive matters involving the administration of County business and the
determination of compliance with County law and rules. These employees historically
have not been required to file financial disclosures with the Board of Ethics under
Chapter 3, Section 3-1.9(a), Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended.
The Council finds that a Charter Amendment was duly adopted on
November 3, 2020, that broadened the classes of employees required to file financial
disclosures with the Board of Ethics to include the Managing Director, the heads of
agencies and divisions, and regulatory employees.
The Council finds that Chapter 3, Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended, must
be amended in order to conform to the Charter Amendment adopted in
November 2020. Furthermore, the Council finds that the term "regulatory employees"
should be defined in the Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended, to provide clarity and
certainty on which employees shall be required to file financial disclosures.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to amend Chapter 3, Sections 3-1.3
and 3-1.9(a), Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended, to conform to the County
Charter and to define the regulatory employees required to file financial disclosures
with the Board of Ethics.
SECTION 2. Chapter 3, Section 3-1.3, Kaua'i County Code 1987, as
amended, is hereby amended by inserting, alphabetically, a definition for the
following term:
""Regulatory Employee" means

Works;

ilfil. Inspectors employed by the Department of Water;
ilfil The County Auditor;
(20) Auditors employed by the County Auditor; and
@ Analysts employed by the County Auditor."
SECTION 3. Chapter 3, Section 3-1.9(a), Kaua'i County Code 1987, as
amended, is hereby amended to read as follows:
"(a) The Mayor, Councilpersons, [all department heads and
deputies,] Managing Director, heads and deputies of all departments,
agencies, and divisions. members of boards and commissions [and].,_ the
purchasing administrator, and [any employee delegated or authorized
to act on behalf of the Director of Finance and the Deputy Director of
Finance in their absence] regulatory employees shall, within thirty (30)
days of assuming office, file with the Board of Ethics a list of all real
property within the County in which he or she has any right, title or
interest; a list of all business firms which contract for County business
in which he or she has interest; all places of employment, including
part-time employment; and all sources and amounts of income, business
ownership, officer and director positions, debts, creditor interests in
insolvent businesses and the names of persons represented before
government agencies. Amendments to the list, including additions,
deletions or changes in title, interest in property or of employment, shall
be made within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of the amendment. The
list shall be a matter of public record[.]; provided that the lists of
regulatory employees shall not be open to public inspection."

SECTION 4. If any provision of this Ordinance or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other
provisions or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the
invalid provision or application, and to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance
are severable.
SECTION 5. Material to be repealed is bracketed. New material is
underscored. When revising, compiling, or printing this Ordinance for inclusion in
the Kaua'i County Code 1987, as amended, the brackets, bracketed material, and
underscoring need not be included.
SECTION 6. This Ordinance shall take upon its approval.
