This may be the “real news” in the article—a County Board sub-committee is researching whether the reimbursement of alcoholic beverages by the Board of Health may have violated county policy.
“The committee also addressed that some members [of the Board of Health] went to Giovanni’s and submitted a request for reimbursement and were paid back.
The committee felt since this meal included alcoholic beverages, this reimbursement is a violation of policy and the parties involved should be disciplined. The committee looked for direction from Terrinoni on how to word a formal ethics complaint.
The committee agreed to look into the process and finalize its complaint next meeting. It was also brought up that the ethics board consists of three people, but at this time there are only two members and one opening.
This, in itself is not a problem, because two members make a quorum. However, one of the two members on this board is also on the Board of Health, which is the body that the complaint will be directed toward….They asked Terrinoni if he could ask for advice from the State’s Attorney Michelle Courier on this matter.”
