Jax ethics chief urges after-hours training sessions

For a measure of how seriously people in Jacksonville City Hall take the recent spate of imbroglios related to boards and commissions, look no further than an exasperated email from Jacksonville Ethics Compliance and Oversight Director Carla Miller to Chief Administrative Officer Sam Mousa.

“We need to step up Board Ethics training; they need to come after work. So we set up meetings from 5-6pm. We are poor in ethics and cannot pay for security overtime.”

A scheduling request in September for a December training session was “tentatively approved.” City Hall closes at 6 p.m, and the original schedule was for a session that extended until 6:30 p.m.
