(A) It is the policy of the township to uphold, promote and demand the highest standards of ethics from all its employees and officials, whether elected, appointed or hired. Township officers and employees (public servants) shall maintain the highest standards of personal integrity, truthfulness, honesty and fairness in carrying out their public duties; avoid any improprieties in their roles as public servants including the appearance of impropriety; and never use their township position or powers for improper personal gain.
(B) It is not the intent of this chapter to in any way limit the right or ability of any public servant to exercise his or her discretion in making legitimate policy decisions which are within their discretion so long as the action does not provide a special benefit to that person, relieve the public servant of a particular duty, or treat that person differently than other similarly situated township resident.
