VL Review Ethics Code <br />CODE OF ETHICS FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN THE CITY OF <br />ROSEVILLE <br />Purpose <br />Officials in the public service must maintain the highest possible standards of ethical conduct in <br />their transactions of public business. Such standards must be clearly defined and known to the <br />public as well as to the Public Officials. Violations of the ethical standards in this ordinance are <br />punishable by the City Council and are not to be deemed criminal misdemeanors of any other <br />type of crime except as those behaviors or activities may separately be determined to be criminal <br />under state or federal law. <br />Section 1. Declaration of Policv <br />The proper operation of democratic government requires that Public Officials be independent, <br />impartial and responsible to the people; that government decisions and policy be made in the <br />proper channels of the government structure; that public office not be used for personal gain; and <br />that the public have confidence in the integrity of its government. <br />In recognition of these goals, there is hereby established a Code of Ethics for all Public Officials <br />of the City of Roseville. The purpose of this Code is to establish ethical standards of conduct for <br />all such officials by setting forth those acts or actions that are incompatible with the best interests <br />of the City, and by directing disclosure by such officials of private financial or other interests in <br />matters affecting the City. The provisions and purpose of this Code and such rules and <br />regulations as may be established are in the best interests of the City of Roseville. <br />Recognizing that education on ethics in government is the key to having good government, this <br />code requires that annual training be held to discuss the meaning of this code with Public <br />Officials, and in addition such training shall involve trained experts on government ethics. The <br />City Manager shall be the coordinator for the annual training. The training will keep the subject <br />of ethics in government fresh in everyone's mind. (amended 5-23-2011) <br />To increase the awareness and understanding of the importance of ethical considerations and <br />behavior among the public as well as government employees, communication of the role of the <br />ethics commission and this Code must occur at least annually in local newspapers and the <br />Roseville website as determined by the City Manager. Additionally, this Code of Ethics shall be <br />reviewed annually to determine if modifications are appropriate. <br />Section 2. Definitions of Terms <br />Public Official Any person that has been elected to office, appointed to a City board or <br />commission, or hired by the City to serve as a department head or assistant department head. <br />
