CITY OF STRATHMOOR VILLAGE BOARD OF ETHICS
The City
of Strathmoor Village Board of Ethics was created by Ordinance No. 15 Series, 2007 as required by Kentucky Statutes.
The purpose of the Board is to assure that standards of ethical conduct and financial disclosure requirements for officers
and employees of Strathmoor Village are clearly established, uniform in application, and enforceable, as well as to provide
officers and employees of the City with advice and information concerning potential conflicts which might arise in conduct
of their public duties.
The jurisdiction of the Board of Ethics is very limited, and only deals with
the areas expressly stated in the Ordinance. Those areas include nepotism, conflicts of interest in contracts, receipt
of gifts, use of City property, equipment, and personel, representation of interests before City government, misuse of confidential
information, post employment practice before the City, and receipt of and honorarium. It is not within the authority
of the Board of Ethics to deal with anything within the City that may be considered unfair or improper outside these areas.
Should there be a concern within these areas, in Sections 5-12 of the Ordinance, a written complaint
describing the concern would be forwarded to the City Clerk, who, as Custodian of the Records, will forward the complaint
to the members of the Board of Ethics. The Board of Ethics would then review the complaint and determine whether it
sets forth a violation within the authority established by the Ordinance. If so, the Board will take steps to address
the complaint, which may include a full hearing.
