What does the Code of Conduct cover?
The Code of Conduct deals with a broad range of inappropriate conduct by elected officials and appointees: improper receipt of gifts and benefits; misuse and improper securing of confidential information; inappropriate use of City property, services and other resources, including using City facilities for campaign purposes; acting as a paid agent in the conduct of City business; allowing employment prospects to influence the way in which a Councillor performs her or his role; misbehaviour at Council meetings; mistreatment of staff; improper use of influence; inappropriate relationships with lobbyists; discreditable behaviour towards other Councillors, staff and members of the public; and, more generally, failing to follow Council policies.
