Board plans to circulate plain-English 'do's and don'ts' guide for ethics code
Summary
Board members agreed to distribute a plain-English 'do's and don'ts' guidance to department heads and at a fall chair meeting to make the ethics code more relatable; Amber and Benjamin were named as liaisons and Q&A sessions were discussed.
The chair said Laura proposed a plain-English "do's and don'ts" guide to make the town’s ethics code more relatable and easier for staff to use.
"It's because Laura came up with a bright idea of the do's and don'ts thing, thinking it's more, relatable," the chair said. A committee member added that the board could introduce the guide at a fall meeting and distribute it to department heads in advance.
Members discussed distribution plans that would send the guide to department heads and meeting chairs and ask those leaders to collect departmental questions. Amber and Benjamin were identified as liaisons to the board, and members agreed short Q&A sessions could accompany circulation to respond to staff questions.
A committee member said they had done an editorial pass focused on grammar and style rather than content, and members agreed the guide could be circulated and revisited in a couple of years for any necessary updates.
