What are your thoughts on the current ethics code for elected and appointed officials?

City Council adopted an Ethics Code for elected and appointed officials in December 2005. The Ethics Code includes specific guidelines and regulations governing the following:

• conflicts of interest
• business interactions with the City
• disclosure of gifts
• private interests
• misuse and disclosure of confidential information
• restrictions on political activity and political contributions

Changes in state law have prompted City Council to establish a seven-member citizen task force to conduct a ten-year review and provide a report to City Council on recommended updates to the Ethics Code. The Citizens Ethics Task Force would like to request comments from residents on the current ethics code.

Please review and provide any input on the current Ethics Code.
