County elected officials, appointed officials and county government employees should respect and comply with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and its political subdivisions and should conduct themselves at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of county government. In addition to criminal acts prohibited by current law, a fiduciary duty is imposed on all county elected officials, appointed officials and county government employees in the performance of their public duties. This fiduciary duty imposes the obligation to act in the public's best interests through the county government agencies in which the person is employed or serves.
