Recognizing that public officials often face ethical dilemmas, the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Ethics Advisory Panel developed two documents for city officials and staff to consider.
The Model Statement of Values is an aspirational document intended to provide a framework of ethical decision-making. It promotes nine ideals, each supported with several examples about what behavior associated with that value might look like.
The Template Code of Conduct is a law-based document, incorporating very specific standards of behavior already written into state statute.
These resources are now available on the League website, along with background information and a brief discussion of issues cities should consider prior to using either document. The LMC Board encourages cities to make their own decisions as to the best way to use these documents. To access the documents visit the League website.
