NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Village Board of the Village of Webster will hold a Public Hearing regarding the Village of Webster Code of Ethics on August 26th 2010 at 7:45pm in the Community Meeting Room, 29 South Ave.

VILLAGE OF WEBSTER CODE OF ETHICS

The Village of Webster was incorporated in 1905. It grew slowly for the next fifty years. Since 1955 substantial and rapid growth has come to the Village in its residential and industrial areas. Its service functions have greatly increased. It has many more employees and much more property and equipment. Its budget and assessment rolls have become large financial matters.

The Legislature of New York State, by Chapter 1019 of the laws of 1970,· required all villages to adopt a Code of Ethics setting forth for the guidance of its officers and employees the standards of conduct reasonably expected of them. In order to carry out this statutory requirement, and to insure the continuance of the present high standards of service of the Village's employees, the Board of Trustees hereby adopts the following resolution:

RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of the VILLAGE OF WEBSTER, Monroe County, New York, hereafter called "Village", as follows:

Section 1. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 806 of the General Municipal Law, the Village recognizes that there are rules of ethical conduct for public officers and employees which must be observed if a high degree of moral conduct is to be maintained and if public confidence is to be maintained in our unit of local government. It is the purpose of this resolution to promulgate these rules of ethical conduct for the officers and employees of the Village. These rules shall serve as a guide for official conduct of the officers and employees of the Village. The rules of ethical conduct of this resolution as adopted shall not conflict with, but shall be in addition to any prohibition of Article eighteen of the General Municipal Law or any other general or special law relating to ethical conduct and interest in contracts of municipal officers and employees.

Section 3. Standards of Conduct. Every officer or employee of the Village shall be subject to and abide by the following standards of conduct:

(a) Gifts. He or she shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit any gift, whether in the form of money, services, loan, travel, entertainment, hospitality, thing or promise, or any other form, under circumstances in which it could reasonably be inferred that the gift was intended to influence him or her or could reasonably be expected to influence him or her in the performance of his or her official duties, or was intended as a reward for any official act on his part. He or she shall not, directly or indirectly, accept or receive any gift having a value of $75.00 or more, whether in the form of money, services, loan, travel, entertainment, hospitality, thing or promise, or any form, under circumstances in which it could be reasonably inferred that the gift was intended to influence him or could be reasonably expected to influence him in the performance of his duties, or was intended as a reward for any official action on his part.

(d) Disclosure of interest in legislation. To the extent that he knows thereof, a member of the Board of Trustees and any officer or employee of the Village, whether paid or unpaid, who participates in the discussion or gives official opinion to the Village on any matters before the Board, shall publicly disclose on the official record the nature and extent of any direct or indirect financial or other private interest he has in such matters. Actual entry in the official minutes of the disclosure of interest will suffice.

(e) Investments in conflict with official duties. He or she shall not invest or hold any investment directly or indirectly in any financial, business, commercial or other private transaction which creates conflict with his official duties.

(f) Private employment. He or she shall not engage in, solicit, negotiate for or promise to accept private employment or render services for private interests when such employment or service creates a conflict with or impairs the proper discharge of his official duties.
