Order 26-306 passed 5-2 (Fish and Hos no; the councilor concerned did not vote): a finding that conduct at the March 31, 2026 Board of Ethics meeting violated two ethics code provisions, with required customized training. Residents spoke against it, citing selective enforcement.
Staff described the order as accepting the Board of Ethics findings and requiring interactive training from Cross-Cultural Community Services; if passed, all councilors would be invited to take part. Councilors noted annual training is already held.
The Council accepted the Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, Inclusion and Human Rights recommendation of the first option, customized training from Cross Cultural Community Services (Creighton University self-directed course was the alternative), to be reflected in the updated order on the October 26 agenda. Several councilors said all councilors could benefit; costs for the second option were not yet known.
