SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City Council requested a review of the city code of ethics and clarification regarding what constitutes a conflict of interest for city officials. After a review of Chapter 2.24 - Code of Ethics, the City Attorney found the existing language to be over restrictive, taking into consideration that Valdez is a small community. The proposed amendments to Chapter 2.24 align with current language in State Statute.
Ordinance #25-07 was amended on 6/17/25 at first reading following public hearing an additional first reading took place 7/1/25.
