RESOLUTION: 2006-75

SUBJECT: Approval of a resolution adopting a Code of Conduct for City Council members and appointed officials.

ADDRESS: 480 S. Allison Parkway

RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolution.

FUNDING SOURCE: N/A

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: 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. This Administrative Regulation does not apply to the City Council and appointed officials. In order for City Council to enact its own standards of conduct it may do so by resolution.

The Colorado General Assembly has adopted a "Code of Ethics" which is applicable in part to local government officials and is codified as C.R.S. 24-18-101 through 113. The City Council should adopt a Code of Conduct as set forth in the applicable sections of C.R.S. 24-18-101 through 113.
