The DeKalb County Board of Ethics is gearing up for its first regular public meeting of the year, set for January 15. In adherence to the needs of the public for transparency and governance oversight, the board will assemble at 178 Sams Street, Room A1201 - A & B in Decatur, GA, beginning at 6:00 p.m., with a slew of administrative items and preliminary cases on the docket. Details were confirmed in a recent announcement on the county's official website.
Amongst the key items slated for discussion, approval of the minutes from last month's meeting, slated for December 18, 2025, takes precedence followed closely by the Chair’s statement regarding a settlement matter. A definitive agenda for the evening includes the Ethics Officer’s monthly report and report of committees, ensuring that all operational updates are adequately shared and recorded.
Two preliminary cases find themselves at the heart of the upcoming meeting's debate. The first, involving Miles Dillard versus Brandon White and Juliana Njoku, carries the case number 2025-14, followed by Lexi Morgan's case against Juliana Njoku, Travis Cherry, and Vanessa Collins, marked under number 2025-20.
Allowing for direct participation from those they represent, the floor will hold space for public comments, a segment expected to give insight into the community's views on the board's handling of ethical matters. Wrapping up the meeting, an executive session will be called to address pending litigation and personnel issues. Only after moving to approve the executive session minutes and affidavit will members of the public then be asked to adjourn until their next assemblage is scheduled for February 19.
