The Ethics Commission of the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities welcomes your questions, comments and complaints relating to the ethical conduct of government. Under the BPU Ethics Policy, the Ethics Administrator is responsible for responding to inquiries and complaints, and communication may be accomplished in any of the methods listed below. Those communicating by phone or mail may seek an advisory opinion concerning conduct authorized by the Ethics Policy, may ask questions related to the Ethics Program, or may register complaints of ethics violations. For your convenience, the ethics hotline (913) 544-1487 has been established as a confidential answering service, and the service is monitored regularly by the Ethics Administrator to receive your confidential message. Although hotline callers may elect to remain anonymous—and their communication will receive a response—callers are urged to leave names and telephone numbers for return phone calls as a means of effectively investigating all reported matters. All communications will remain confidential, used only for official purposes of investigation, and the identities of callers will only be revealed upon proper judicial authority.
