(a) The proper operation of democratic government requires that public officials and employees be impartial and accountable to the people; that government decisions and policy be made within the proper channels of the governmental structure; that public office not be used for personal gain to the detriment of the public interest; and that the public have confidence in the integrity of its government.
(b) In recognition of these goals, there is hereby established a Code of Ethics for all public officials and employees of the Village, whether elected or appointed, paid or unpaid, full time or part-time, including members of boards, committees and commissions of the Village of
Highland Hills. (Ord. 2014-11. Passed 6-11-14.)
