MEMORANDUM


TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER

FROM: CITY ATTORNEY

SUBJECT: CODE OF CONDUCT FOR CITY COUNCIL

DATE: NOVEMBER 29, 2006


The City Manager has recently revised an Administrative Regulation setting forth the appropriate standards of conduct related to solicitations, gifts and donations between City employees and third parties. During that review it was determined that the Administrative Regulation does not apply to the City Council. Therefore, the City Council would have to adopt a Resolution in order to enact its own standards of conduct. The "Code of Ethics," found in CRS 24-18-101 through 113 is appropriate for City Council to consider. A copy of CRS 24-18-101 through 113 is attached for your information. Please note, sections 106, 107, 108, 112 and 113 do not apply to local government and therefore would not be included in a Resolution of the City Council.

If there is a consensus Monday night from City Council to do so, a Resolution will be prepared for your December 10, 2006 regular meeting to adopt the appropriate provisions from CRS 24-18-101 through 113 as your Code of Ethics.
