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.
