Human Resources presented proposed modernization of the Mount Vernon code of ethics and asked the council to 'call for' the item so the board of ethics can review the proposals at a Sept. 29 meeting. The proposed updates cover gifts, conflicts of interest, nepotism, appropriate use of city property and standards for ethical conduct; the department also discussed artificial intelligence but said AI guidance will be placed in the employee handbook rather than the code itself.
Council members expressed support for review and engagement with the board of ethics before formal action. The item was moved to 'call for' to allow the board to examine the draft language and return recommendations.
