NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
CODE OF ETHICS
PREAMBLE
The stability and proper operation of democratic representative
government depends upon the continuing consent of the governed;
upon the public confidence in the integrity of the government and
upon responsible exercise of the trust conferred by the people.
Government decisions and policy must be made and implemented
through proper channels and processes of the governmental
structure. The purpose of this code is to establish guidelines for
ethical standards of conduct for County Commissioners. It should
not be considered a substitute for the law or a County
Commissioner's best judgement.
County Commissioners must be able to act in a manner to maintain
their integrity and independence, yet must be responsive to the
interests and needs of those they represent. County Commissioners
serve in an important advocacy capacity in meeting the needs of
their citizens and should recognize the legitimacy of this role as
well as the intrinsic importance of this function to the proper
functioning of representative government. At the same time, County
commissioners must, at times, act in an adjudicatory or
administrative capacity and must, when doing so, act in a fair and
impartial manner. County commissioners must know how to
distinguish these roles and when each role is appropriate and they
must act accordingly. County Commissioners must be aware of their
obligations to conform their behavior to standards of ethical
conduct that warrant the trust of their constituents. Each County
Commissioner must find within his or her own conscience the
touchstone on which to determine appropriate conduct.
CANON ONE
A County commissioner Shall Obey the Law.
County Commissioners shall support the Constitution of the united
states, the Constitution of North Carolina and the laws enacted by
the Congress of the United states and the General Assembly pursuant
thereto.
CANON TWO
A County Commissioner Should Uphold the Integrity and
Independence of His Office.
County Commissioners should demonstrate the highest standards of
personal integrity, truthfulness, honesty and fortitude in all
their public activities in order to inspire public confidence and
trust in county government. County commissioners should
participate in establishing, maintaining, and enforcing, and should
themselves observe, high standards of conduct so that the integrity
and independence of their office may be preserved. The provisions
of this Code should be construed and applied to further these
objectives.
CANON THREE
A County Commissioner Should Avoid Impropriety and the
Appearance of Impropriety in All His or Her Activities.
A. It is essential that county government attract those citizens
best qualified and willing to serve. County Commissioners
have legitimate interests economic, professional and
vocational - of a private nature. County commissioners should
not be denied, and should not deny to other County
Commissioners or citizens, the opportunity to acquire, retain
and pursue private interests, economic or otherwise, except
when conflicts with their responsibility to the public cannot
be avoided. County Commissioners must exercise their best
judgement to determine when this is the case.
B. County Commissioner should respect and comply with the law and
should conduct themselves at all times in a manner that
promotes public confidence in the integrity of the office of
County Commissioner and of county government.
C. County Commissioners should not allow family, social, or other
relationships to unduly influence their conduct or judgement
and should not lend the prestige of the office of County
Commissioner to advance the private interests of others; nor
should they conveyor permit others to convey the impression
that they are in a special position to influence them.
CANON FOUR
A County commissioner Should Perform the Duties of the

constituents within the parameters of orderly decision-
making, rules of the Board of County commissioners and

goals and interests of other County Commissioners and
should respect the rights of others to pursue goals and
policies different from their own.
I
B. Adjudicative Responsibilities:

duties and should facilitate the diligent discharge of
the administrative responsibilities of fellow

Board in an Open and Public Manner.

the state's Open Meetings Law, should conduct the affairs of the
Board of County Commissioners consistent with the letter and spirit
of that law and consistent with the need to inspire and maintain
public confidence in the integrity and fairness of county
government and the office of County Commissioner. Consistent with
this goal of preserving public trust, County commissioners should
be aware of the need for discretion in deliberations when the lack
of discretion would pose a threat to the resources of the county,
to the reputation of current or potential county employees, to
orderly and responsible decision making, to the integrity of other
governmental processes or to other legitimate interests of the
county.

capacity should not be used or disclosed in financial dealings

support the principles or policies of civic or political
organizations consistent with the Constitution and laws of the
united states and North Carolina.

state with regard to campaigns and relevant disclosures
