Revision of OIG Intake Procedures
Acting Inspector General Neumer reported the office is currently reviewing and revamping the current intake process. There was discussion about current practice and the future practice of OIG's Bureau of Intake/Hotline.
The office is currently revising the directives. Once the draft is complete OIG will send to the board members for their review and input. After the directive is complete and has been approved, it will be presented to agencies.
This topic has been tabled and will revisit at the next scheduled meeting.
Conflict of Interest
Acting Inspector General Neumer opened the floor for any suggestions and/or comments from the board regarding OIG's draft conflict of interest policy. There was discussion and suggestions from the board on language modifications. The next step is to receive approval from Labor Relations. Once approved by Labor Relations, OIG can create an Administrative Directive as it relates to this topic.
Chairperson Dunn requested if the board has any further comments on this issue, that they directly email Acting Inspector General Neumer.
