Dear Mr. Antkowiak:
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
June 10, 1980
ADVICE OF THE COMMISSION
Advice #80 -672
On July 27, 1979, you requested advice from the Commission
on certain issues.
On June 9, 1980, you confirmed that a response was still
appropriate.
You are an elected city councilperson for the City of Oil
City. You are also a partner with Mr. Max P. Gabreski. He is
the Solicitor for the Oil City General Authority, Borough of
Sugarcreek, and President of Victory & Irwin Townships. All of
these are located in Venango County but are not connected with
Oil City.
Your governmental body is Oil City. Because none of
Mr. Gabreski's governmental bodies are part of yours, there is
no conflict of interest in both of you continuing your present
relationships. Should any matter come before the Oil City
Council which involves your partner, you should abstain from
participation in the discussions and decisions.
Pursuant to Section 7(9)(ii), this advice is a complete
defense in any enforcement proceeding initiated by the Commission,
and evidence of good faith conduct in any other civil or criminal
proceeding, providing the requestor has disclosed truthfully all
the material facts and committed the acts complained of in reliance
on the advice given.
PJS /rdp
You may appeal this advice to the full Commission.
This letter is a public record and will be made available
as such.
