Deming council tables proposed citywide code of ethics for edits

City of Deming City Council · August 18, 2026

Summary

A proposed code of ethics intended to cover the governing body and city employees, including a social media policy, was tabled after councilors requested the document be condensed and revised; the motion to table passed unanimously.

Councilors reviewed a proposed resolution to adopt a code of ethics for the City of Deming governing body and all city staff. The proposed resolution would expand existing guidance to include a social media policy and require signed acknowledgement by council and staff; Councilor Stephen Westenhofer and Mayor Shillito suggested condensing the document and removing a paragraph in the social media section.

After discussion about length and content, Councilor Westenhofer rescinded his original motion to adopt the resolution and moved to table it so staff can make the requested corrections. The council voted to table the resolution by roll call with four ayes.
