REPORT (Misc. 911271 By Personnel Committee IN RE: MAC° CODE OF ETHICS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Personnel Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution on June 19, 1991, reports with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted with the following amendments: Revise the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph as follows: From in support of the National Association... to: ...in support of a National Association... Add: BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the NACo Board of Directors afford serious consideration to the attached suggested amendments to the proposed Code of Ethics; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the NACo Board of Directors. Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move acceptance of the foregoing 1 1 PROPOSED CODE OF ETHICS FOR COUNTY OFFICIALS The National Association of Counties (NACo) is committed to the highest standards of conduct among county officials in the performance of their public duties. Adherence to high ethical standards by public officials is central to the maintenance of public trust and confidence in government. Each county official should recognize that his or her mission is that of servant and steward to the public. The proper discharge of trust on behalf of another, whether public or private, invariably involves potential conflicts of interest and competing loyalty and policy considerations. This code of ethics is meant to provide guidance in such cases, which must ultimately always be decided by the dictates of the individual conscience of the public official and his or her commitment to the public good. Certain of these ethical principles are best expressed as positive statements: actions which should be taken; courses which should be followed; goals that should permeate both public and private conduct. Other principles are expressed as negative statements: actions to be avoided and conduct to be condemned. 184 Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 27, 1991 If The Code of Ethics for County Officials has been created by and for elected county officials. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these principles also apply to the day to day conduct of both elected and appointed officials and employees of county government. The National Association of Counties (NACo) encorses this code of ethics as a valuable guide for all in whom the public has placed its trust. Ethical Principles The ethical county official should: Recognize that his or her public responsibility and role is that of servant and steward to the public. Properly administer the affairs of the county. Promote decisions which only benefit the public interest. Actively promote public confidence in county government. Keep safe all funds and other properties Of the county. Diligently perform the duties of office and promptly dispose of the business of the County Maintain a positive image worthy of constant public scrutiny. Obtain the best service or product at a minimal cost without sacrificing quality or fiscal responsibility. Afford the prestige of office and dignity of public service to everday dealings with the public, employees and associates Respect and treat employees, other public officials, and associates as she or he would have them treat him or her. Efficiently cooperate with government agencies, political subdivisions, and other organi- zations to further the interests of the county. Impartially apply and faithfully comply with all laws and regulations. The ethical county official should not: Engage in outside activities or interests that are compatible with the impartial and objective performance of his or her duties. Improperly influence or attempt to influence other officials to act in his or her own benefit. Accept anything of value that may or is intended to influence his or her action as a public official.
