Quick context to catch up fast.
The board convened virtually, approved prior minutes, and held a closed session. A complaint against Ald. Mark Chambers Jr. was withdrawn by the filer, making investigation items moot. The board waived $25 late-filing fees for two filers, granted a three-month extension to file a Statement of Economic Interest (SEI) for one filer, and reviewed SEI filing progress (550 recipients: 415 e-filed, 107 manual, 28 missing). Next steps include sending letters to non-responders and considering escalation (citations for employees; Common Council removal recommendations for officials). A tentative next meeting was proposed for June 4 or 5.

The Ethics Board accepted the withdrawal of a complaint, so it will not pursue that case now. The board waived small late-filing fees for two volunteers and gave one filer extra time to submit their financial disclosure form; it is tracking about 28 missing disclosures and will send letters to those people. If disclosures remain missing, the board may ask the city attorney to seek citations for employees or recommend removal of officials to the Common Council.
