As our elected officials you have pledged to maintain the highest standards of professional behavior and to comply with the laws, regulations, and policies under which we operate. Those highest standards of professional behavior impose an obligation to make ethical considerations when it comes to the procurement of goods and services for the city. Doing business with unethical companies goes directly against the ethical standards that all city employees and elected officials must adhere to. In order to cement public confidence in local government, under section 5.6 of our city charter being a qualified voter, I propose an initiative ordinance to establish an ethics commission for the city of Dunedin. Lets have those difficult conversations and give the public an outlet to address their concerns.
