Due to the mid-day timing of the meeting, it’s difficult for me to be excused from the responsibilities of work for what could be as much as a 2 hour meeting addressing the ethics review of 3 individuals and the related discussion, not including travel to the meeting location. In light of those facts, I’d like to ask that a new date and time is found for the Ethics Review Board Meeting for my submitted complaint. As I work during normal daily working times, an early evening meeting time is much more manageable for me. From a procedural standpoint, as the complainant, I’m able to best present the information and arguments in person at the meeting, and by being available to answer further questions from council in person. Because of this, I believe my presence at the meeting is extremely beneficial to the City as it investigates the allegations of this complaint, and relatedly, just as beneficial to the people of Fort Collins. Further, I did submit the complaint under the explicit condition that I be present for the hearing. As it relates to your office, and it’s advisory role in the process, I’m also able to best present to you the arguments of the complaint in person, while giving you the most data and information possible so that you’re able to best counsel the Ethics Review Board. If the date is re-scheduled, I would greatly appreciate having some small input into the future meeting date and time, as I was not able to give input regrading the initially scheduled date and time. This consideration would allow me to best choose a time that would fit within my schedule… and it would mean a lot to me to be able to present my complaint in person to the Board. If the City grants me this accommodation of my schedule, I would be very grateful. Thank you, Rory Heath
