ACE Commission
Investigating Complaints of Unethical Behavior
The Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission (ACE Commission) provides a vehicle for the receipt and investigation of complaints regarding alleged unethical behavior by county officials and employees.
Any citizen, whether a county employee or not, can file a complaint with the commission. If the commission determines it has jurisdiction, it will investigate the matter.
ACE Commission Members
The ACE Commission consists of five members, each serving terms of five years. After investigating complaints of an ethics violation, the ACE Commission recommends disciplinary action to County Council. Members of the ACE Commission are appointed by the County Council.
