Board asks staff to draft a code of ethics for aldermen review
Summary
Aldermen asked staff to prepare a first draft of a code of ethics based on examples provided; the board gave general consensus for staff to assemble proposed language for later review and revision.
Fredericktown aldermen discussed proposed examples for a municipal code of ethics and asked staff to prepare an initial draft for the board to review.
Participants noted it would be efficient for staff to assemble suggested language so aldermen could mark what they agree or disagree with rather than starting from scratch. The transcript indicates Mary (staff) provided extra examples and agreed to prepare a first pass; aldermen signaled general consensus and a motion/second was recorded to proceed informally.
No formal ordinance or policy was adopted at the work session; the board’s action was to request staff draft and circulate proposed ethics language for future consideration.
