OC-26-17: Appointment of Candidate to the Board of Ethics

Description

Appointment of Candidate to the Board of Ethics

Summary

OC-26-17 informs the Albuquerque City Council of a vacancy on the Board of Ethics following the resignation of Council appointee Susan Selbin. Under the City Charter, the Council and Mayor each appoint three members, who select a seventh member as chair. The Board investigates alleged violations of the City’s Code of Ethics, Election Code, Open and Ethical Elections Code, and related rules. Council will choose between city residents and registered voters Tim L. Allen and Bruce R. Roach through preferential balloting; the candidate with the lowest score wins, with a runoff required in case of a tie. The appointee will serve the remainder of Selbin’s term, ending July 31, 2027. Resumes describe Allen’s Navy, construction, and facilities-management experience and Roach’s finance, operations, project-management, and government-contracting background.
