PoGcy AD-1 Page 4 A COMiVIISSION MF�12BIIt'S CODE As a commission member, I believe that the prirriary purposes of a commission � are to achieve effective and wise guidance of the City through group thinking and action, to raise the standards of commission membership and to improve the level of services to the . � community which supports it. � I realize that mine is a community trust, that I represent all the people and that I have a duty to the community as well as to the commission I pledge myself. Therefore, to cultivate an "educated heart" so that I may be sensitive to my obligations and relationships in this trusteeship, I subscribe to the code of an ethical person, remembering that ethics refers to what a person is morally obliged to do or not to do in a �iven situation. I believe that commission service can be an expression of democratic citizenship, signifyin� a willingness to accept community responsibility and the charge to . preserve popular control of American public services. Respecting the diQnity and worth of the individual, I sha11 base my relations with people on their qualities as individuals without distinction as to race or creed or gender or color or economic or social status. I believe that a person's greatest possession, as well as his/her greatest contribution to society, may lie in the ways in which he/she differs from me, rather than in the ways in which we are similar. I shall accept these differences and try to build a useful relationship upon them. . I uphold the principles of my organization, recognizina and assuming my responsibility to establish and administer the best possble proaram and policies for my commission. I shall learn its pro�rams and objectives, �ive to it a fair share of my time and personal abilities, keep a community wide perspective knowing that, for sound community service, my commission's work must be coordinated with the total communiry. , I promise to be loyal to my own organization and a good neighbor to other agencies. My attitude shall be one of cooperative open-mindedness and objectivity. In carrying out my assignments, I shall be professional in realizing that it is not possible to lay down absolute rules for all situations. I shall be willing to think things through with the other commission members, weighing alternatives and exercising good judgement in choosin� among them. � 1999 CITY OF ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL and COMIVIISSIONS AS OF JULY 15, 1999 Ma,yor and Citv Council Members Cathy Busho, Mayor Ena Cisewski One position vacant 12605 So.
