Committee Meeting | Ethics Task Force - Oct 7, 2026

The Wayne County Commission Ethics Task Force met on October 7, 2026, to review proposed amendments to the county ethics ordinance. The discussion covered clarifying that certain discounts offered by retailers to government employees may be permitted, clarifying which provisions apply to employees or officials rather than contractors or businesses, and revising language on equal employment opportunities and retaliation. The proposed language directs retaliation claims to the Department of Personnel and Human Resources and references applicable county policies, civil service rules, collective bargaining agreements, ordinances, and state law.

The task force approved the prior meeting’s minutes and adopted a motion to forward the amended draft to the full Commission for consideration at first reading. The transcript identifies no procurement activity, contract awards, spending decisions, or vendor selections.
