The DeKalb Delegation announced on Thursday (Dec. 3) that 63 applications from residents across DeKalb County were received for consideration for the newly reconstituted Ethics Board. The board will be comprised of seven members and two alternates who will serve in the event that two members are absent. The new board will begin serving on Jan. 1, 2021.
“The Appointing Committee is honored and humbled by the incredible response from our fellow DeKalb citizens and thanks each one of them for applying,” the news release stated.
The list of 63 will be narrowed down to a list of finalists, which also will be made public, the Delegation said. The House and Senate will each appoint three members; DeKalb’s Tax Commissioner will appoint one person and the DeKalb Clerk of Court will appoint two alternatives to serve on the board.
DeKalb County voters approved HB1243 in a Nov. 3 referendum, paving the say for a newly reconstituted Ethics Board.
Meanwhile, Attorney Dwight Thomas, who represented former DeKalb County Commissioner Sharon Barnes Sutton in her successful challenge against the Ethics Board, has filed a motion objecting to the Dec. 2 Board of Ethics meeting.
Thomas stated in the motion filed on Nov. 30 that Ethics Officer Stacey Kalberman and members of the Board of Ethics held the December meeting in violation of the court’s Aug. 27, 2018 orders. The Georgia Supreme Court, Thomas said, held that four of the board’s seven members appointed by private organizations were “unconstitutional.” He said the three members who were left do not constitute a legal board.
Thomas said: “Further, the legislature does not have the power to override the Georgia Supreme Court by ignoring a ruling of the Georgia Supreme Court on a constitutional issue. Any action taken by an illegal and unconstitutional Board of Ethics is contemptuous and subject to other legal challenges.”
