Sec. 2-52[Ethics principles.]
Plain English: what this chapter covers
Chapter 2 covers how city government runs: when the council meets and how residents can speak, the ethics code and how to file a complaint, rules for city employees (including drug testing and the city minimum wage), budgeting and purchasing limits, city credit cards, the Community Relations Commission, and how the city protects utility customers' personal information.
The governing authority subscribes to the following ethics principles and pledges to conduct its affairs accordingly:
• Serve others, not ourselves;
• Use resources with efficiency and economy;
• Treat all people fairly;
• Use the power of our position for the well-being of our constituents;
• Create an environment of honesty, openness and integrity.
