BOARD OF ETHICS

BOARD OF ETHICS MISSION STATEMENT:

The City of Utica established a code of ethics to set forth the standards of ethical conduct reasonably expected of city officers and employees. The code of ethics addresses certain provisions including disclosure of interest in legislation before the governing body, holding of investments in conflict with official duties, private employment in conflict with official duties and future employment.

The Common Council established an Ethics Board responsible for administering a system to maintain the financial disclosure statement filings. The Board of Ethics develops procedures to review and examine the financial disclosure statements filed with the city to promote compliance with the filing requirement, and verify that officials and employees are impartial and free from conflicts of interest in fulfilling their public responsibilities. The Board of Ethics helps ensure that the local government operates in a transparent and ethical manner and local government officers and employees act in the best interests of taxpayers and are not conflicted by personal interests.
