      The COIB Executive Director explains that the city charter mandates confidentiality regarding any communications and advice provided to individual public servants.

      • The COIB cannot disclose whether any council member has sought advice from them.
      • The COIB cannot reveal what was asked about or what advice was given.
      • The COIB maintains confidentiality even when public officials claim to have consulted COIB and declare certain actions as approved.
