7 Council Member Robert Brookshear stated this is a guideline to implement Section 30 of the City Charter. It is not a replacement of the Charter and it is not a rewrite. This Policy provides some guiding principles that defines an action that could be taken that could impact the legal capacity of any of the elected officials. Mr. Brookshear stated this is something the Council needs to do. Mayor Pro Tem Keith Hiser stated as elected Officials we are held to a higher standard. We all have taken an Oath to the citizens and God to uphold the laws and do our duty. Mr. Hiser said the document is good to have in place to set some guidelines that would allow the Council to hold each other responsible for their actions. The Council needs to be accountable and held to a higher standards than everybody else. Council Member Bobbie Banks expressed her feelings that the Council should be good leaders for the community and the Council should be held to a Code of Ethics. Mrs. Banks said that in her interview before the Council that this Council was the most dysfunctional Council that she had ever seen.

Council Member Marcelo Alvarez, Jr. stated it was good for Council to stay up on policy and procedures. Mr. Alvarez said he believed a Council Member should be accountable for their actions and if they mess up they should resign from their position. Council Member Sammy Contreras stated we are elected people and should be held to a higher standard. Mayor Carol Sue Dakan stated this has been covered by the City Charter and it is what the Council has to operate under. Ms. Dakan stated this policy is more like Police Action and leaves the Council open for a witch hunt in town. Ms. Dakan said if the Council is in violation of any ordinance, there will be persons in this town that will question why this Council after adopting this policy did not enforce it. We have State and Federal laws in place that should be followed and Council should be held to a higher standard. Mayor Pro Tem Keith Hiser recalled the question.
