A. The city official subject to a complaint may propose a resolution of the complaint once the complaint has been found sufficient. A proposed resolution and settlement will include the admitted violation of the code of ethics in WMC Chapter 2.01; the remedial actions agreed to by the accused city official subject to the hearing officer’s concurrence; any proposed preventive actions to be undertaken to avoid a similar violation by the city official or others in the future; and other matters required by the hearing officer.

B. A proposed resolution and settlement are subject to approval by the hearing officer and have no effect unless approved by the hearing officer. The hearing officer will give the complaining person the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed resolution and settlement prior to approving it. Until approved by the hearing officer, a proposed resolution and settlement must be kept confidential.

C. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the proposed resolution and settlement become public record upon final approval by the hearing officer. (Ord. 22-13(AM) § 3, 2022)
