WHEREAS, New Hanover County citizens deserve to be served by public officials who maintain the
III

by the citizens upon their elected officials; and
1 WHEREAS,Board members must act in a manner that maintains their integrity and independence and be
responsive to the interests and needs of those they represent; and
WHEREAS,Board members must know how to distinguish among their various roles,to determine when
each role is appropriate, and to act accordingly:

i hereby adopt the following Code of Ethics to guide the Board of County Commissioners in its decision-

this Code of Ethics in the performance of their duties.
1
CODE OF ETHICS

of County Commissioners. It should not be considered a substitute for the law or for a Board member's
best judgment.
i
Section 1.

letter of the law should guide their actions. Board members should feel free to assert policy
positions and opinions without fear of reprisal from fellow Board members or citizens.

other sources, of the most pertinent constitutional, statutory, and other legal requirements with
1 which they must be familiar in order to meet their legal responsibilities.
C. Board members shall comply with G.S. 160A-87 in receiving two clock hours of ethics education

even when they disagree.
H. Being careful not to reach conclusions on issues until all sides have been heard.
I. Recognizing that individual Board members are not generally allowed to act on behalf of the Board,

faithfully attend and prepare for meetings. They should carefully analyze all credible information that is
properly submitted to them, mindful of the need not to engage in communications outside the meeting in

authority.

manner. They should comply with all applicable laws governing open meetings and public records,
recognizing that doing so is an important way to be worthy of the public's trust. They should remember
when they meet that they are conducting the public's business. They should also remember that the records
of their local government belong to the public. A climate of openness is to be maintained at all times.
They should take deliberate steps to ensure that any closed sessions held by the Board are conducted
lawfully,and that such sessions do not stray from the purposes for which they are called.
Section 5.
This Code of Ethics shall be effective upon adoption, unless modified, amended,or repealed.
