Dear Mr. Smith:
PJS/ j c
STATE ETHICS COMMISSION
308 FINANCE BUILDING
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA 17120
ORDER OF THE COMMISSION
January 1, 1981
No. 14
#80 -25 -C (2 -8)
We have completed our investigation of the allegation
that you violated Act 170 of 1978 by filing an incomplete
Financial Interest Statement.
We find that you did file an incomplete statement but
have now corrected this filing.
We also wish to note that there is still a question on
the requirement for you to file. Appointed officials who
receive no compensation except reimbursement for expenses
are not "public officials" for the purposes of Act 170. If
your Board has a resolution stating that the money you
receive is reimbursement for expenses, you are not required
to file a Financial Interest Statement. We would appreciate
any past or current resolution on this question.
If the money is considered compensation, according to
your past or clarifying resolution, you should file a
statement with the Zoning Hearing Board for the preceding
year by May 1st of each year you hold office and one year
after.
All files in this case will remain confidential.
This order will be final and become available as a
public document within 20 days unless you file documentation
which justifies pertinent factual changes.
Sincerely yours,
Paul J7 Smith
