      Ethan Carrier explains that the Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB) has limited capacity with only 22 staff members and does not conduct proactive reviews to identify prohibited issues for former public servants.

      • Public servants must seek advice from COIB regarding post-employment restrictions.
      • COIB evaluates based on information from the individual or agency about matters they worked on personally and substantially.
      • Council Member Restler expresses concerns about COIB's ability to effectively oversee compliance for 20,000 annual departures from city government.
      • COIB cannot share specific guidance provided to agencies, but aims to help agencies comply with the complex conflicts of interest law.
