This item concerns a sworn complaint filed against Commissioner Janette Martinez on April 23, 2026, under the City Code of Ordinances Chapter 30, Article II (Code of Ethics). The City Commission is being asked to take action to transmit this complaint to the Chief Circuit Judge of the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The purpose is to request the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the complaint, determine probable cause, and potentially prosecute the case before the City Commission. Staff is also seeking approval for a resolution to temporarily suspend enforcement of Section 30-25 of the Code, with the recommendation to hold this complaint until the Code is amended. This is a procedural step in a review process. The work involved is primarily legal and administrative, focusing on investigation and potential prosecution. Local businesses that could be involved include legal services for prosecution and potentially administrative support services. Early engagement with the city's legal department or relevant administrative offices might provide insight into future needs.
