Policy AD-1 Page 4 A CONIlVIISSION NmVIBER'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 suppoRs 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 given situation. I believe that commission service can be an expression of democratic citizenship, sianifying a willingness to accept community responsibility and the charge to preserve popular control of American public services. Respecting the dignity and worth of the individual, I shall 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, recognizing and assuming my responsibility to establish and administer the best possible program and policies for my commission. I shall learn its programs and objectives, give 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 community. , 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 choostng among them. . � ��) (��Q �� . �� Press Release From: .
