The City's Code of Ethics establishes rules of conduct for elected officials, City officers, and employees. This ordinance revises the complaint process by re-organizing the Ethics Code, clarifying the jurisdiction of the Ethics Commission, expanding complaint procedures, and placing the Appeal Process under the City's Hearing Examiner. It will provide for investigation of complaints by third party investigator, who submits report to Ethics Commission, and will remove the provisions allowing the city council to place a recall election on the ballot, as that provision likely conflicts with state law.
