<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> COUNTY OF RAMSEY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2016-022 <br /> <br />RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY COUNCIL NORMS OF BEHAVIOR <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL THAT THE NORMS OF <br />BEHAVIOR ARE HEREBY ESTABLISHED AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />1. Speak only for yourself, not for other Councilmembers – unless specifically tasked by your <br />colleagues to speak for the group. <br /> <br />2. Don’t question motives. Assume others have positive intentions, even when you disagree. <br /> <br />3. Be respectful of one another, and the public process, at all times. Do not criticize Staff or others <br />in public. <br /> <br />4. Aim of consensus, but accept decisions of the majority once made. <br /> <br />5. Stay focused on the elected official role – policy, prioritization, and citizen representation. <br /> <br />6. Work primarily through the City Administrator or a Department Head, and through line staff with <br />prior arrangement. May work with the writer of a memo in a packet to request information for <br />clarification. Refrain from attending staff meetings, trainings, “rides-along” or group staff <br />functions unless specifically invited or cleared by the City Administrator. <br /> <br />7. Respect Staff and the fact that they work for the Council as a whole. Don’t expect or ask them to <br />engage in the fray (secrets, gossip, triangulation), make your individual case (to take sides), or to <br />be your “insider” (informant). <br /> <br /> <br />ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS THIS 27th <br />DAY OF JUNE, 2016. <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br />David Grant, Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br />______________________________________ <br />Julie Hanson, City Clerk
