Ethics Review Board

In May, 2004, The City Charter was amended to establish an independent Ethics Review Board (ERB) with jurisdiction over the City Ethics Code and the Municipal Campaign Finance Regulations (Ordinance 100283 dated 1/7/2005). The Ethics Review Board is composed of eleven (11) members appointed by the City Council. Members shall have good moral character and shall be residents of the City. No member of the Board shall be: a salaried City official or employee; an elected public official; a candidate for elected public office; an officer of a political party; a campaign treasurer, campaign manager, officer or other policy or decision-maker for the campaign of any candidate for elected public office; a campaign treasurer, campaign manager, officer or other policy or decision-maker for any political action committee as defined in the Texas Election Code; a member of any City board or commission other than the Ethics Review Board; a member of any board or commission for which the position is appointed by City Council; a lobbyist required to register under Division 5 of the Ethics Code. No member of the ERB shall have any convictions for a felony or a crime of moral turpitude, or shall have been found in violation of any provision of the City's Code of Ethics. The San Antonio Police Department will conduct a criminal background check through the NCIC system for the final nominees. The Commission shall meet as necessary in the Municipal Plaza Building "C" Room, usually at 5:30 PM.
