Town of Wayne Select Board adopts new ethics policy

The Town of Wayne Select Board voted Sept. 2 to adopt an updated town ethics policy.

A board member praised the drafter: "Good job, April Pepper," and the board moved, seconded and approved the policy without amendment. The board did not attach an effective date in the public discussion, and no vote record beyond unanimous passage was entered on the public record.

The town manager and board members noted the policy was well-prepared and thanked the individual credited with drafting it. The board did not discuss further operational details or changes to the code of conduct during the meeting.

Motion and vote: A motion to approve the Town of Wayne ethics policy as presented was moved and seconded and passed unanimously.

Next steps: The board did not set a follow-up schedule in the meeting transcript. Staff should publish the adopted policy and, if required by town procedure, note the effective date and file the policy in the town records.
