committee for establishing an integrity management system. The
Council's role in conflict of interest decisions was discussed.
Mr. Kampel felt that if the committee were to establish a standard
of excellence for County employees, that he would like to be a part of
it. However, he and Mr. Martin felt that if the proposed committee
were to attempt to replace the Council, it would be an unnecessary
identity. Mr. Martin suggested that no committee could legislate
morality.
Mr. Oliver stated that there are always ways to get around whatever
rules might be drafted. Mr.. Martin stated that he believed that good
judgement on the part of County officials would be more valuable than
