The City Commission declares that the proper operation of local government requires that public officers and employees be independent and impartial; that city policy and decisions be made through established city processes; that public officers or employees not use public office or employment to obtain private or personal benefit; that public officers and employees avoid action which creates the appearance of impropriety, and that the citizens of the city have confidence in the integrity of their local government.
