Attachment A <br />EN HILLS <br />CITY COUNCIL NORMS OF BEHAVIOR <br />The City Council - led by Mayor Grant, discussed how norms of behaviors would help improve the Council's <br />operations and better define roles and expectations working with the City Staff. These will be adopted by the <br />City Council at a council meeting. <br />Arden Hills: Proposed City Council Norms of Behavior (2016) <br />1. Speak only for yourself, not for other Councilmembers - unless specifically tasked by your <br />colleagues to speak for the group. <br />2. Don't question motives. Assume others have positive intentions, even when you disagree. <br />3. Be respectful of one another, and the public process, at all times. Do not criticize Staff or <br />others in public. <br />4. Aim for consensus, but accept decisions of the majority once made. <br />5. Stay focused on the elected official role -- policy, prioritization and citizen representation. <br />6. Work primarily through the City Administrator or a Department Head, and through line staff <br />with prior arrangement. May work with the writer of a memo in a packet to request <br />information for clarification. Refrain from attending staff meetings, trainings, "rides- along" or <br />group staff functions unless specifically invited or cleared by the City Administrator. <br />7. Respect Staff and the fact that they work for the Council as a whole. Don't expect or ask <br />them to engage in the fray (secrets, gossip, triangulation), make your individual case (to take <br />sides), or to be your "insider" (informant). <br />Arden Hills Council/Staff Retreat 2016 Prepared by Barbara K, Strandell <br />
