A. It is the policy of the city that, in all cases, its city officials and employees perform their duties for the benefit of the citizens of the city. They shall conduct the government of the city with integrity and impartiality, without allowing prejudice, favoritism or the opportunity for personal gain to influence their decisions or actions or to interfere with serving the public interest.
B. The purpose of this chapter is to establish ethical standards of conduct for all "city officials" as defined in section 1-9-3 of this chapter, by setting forth those acts or actions that are incompatible with the best interests of the citizens of the city and by directing disclosure by all city officials of private financial or other interests in matters which may affect the city.
