Section 2.04.050 Code of ethics for council members.
Council members occupy positions of public trust.
All business transactions of such officials dealing in any manner with public funds, either directly or indirectly, must be subject to the scrutiny of public opinion both as to the legality and to the propriety of such transactions. Commissioners shall conduct themselves so as to bring credit upon the city as a whole and so as to set an example of good ethical conduct for all citizens of the community. Commissioners shall bear in mind at all times their responsibility to the entire electorate, and shall refrain from actions benefitting special groups at the expense of the city as a whole and shall do everything in their power to ensure equal and impartial law enforcement throughout the city at large without respect to race, creed, color or the economic or the social position of individual citizens.
