City of Riverside invites Public to Ethics and Conduct Meeting

RIVERSIDE, CA—- The public is invited to recommend amendments to the City of Riverside Code of Ethics and Conduct.

The City Council Inclusiveness, Community Engagement, and Governmental Processes Committee is holding an annual meeting to formulate recommendations on Wednesday, September 2, 2020, at 3:30 p.m., in a virtual meeting.  The committee will ask for contributions from the Board of Ethics, as well as from the public.

As required by an amendment to the Charter approved by voters in 2004, the city adopted a code of ethics and conduct.  The Mayor, City Council, and members of city boards, commissions, and committees are subject to the code.  Annually, this code is reviewed for its effectiveness. 

The City Council will hear those recommendations at an upcoming City Council meeting.  The public is invited to attend.

“This annual meeting is an important outreach of our local government,” said City Clerk Colleen Nicol.  “Citizen engagement in this process improves decision-making.” For more information, visit the City’s Web site at www.riversideca.gov or call the City Clerk’s Office at (951) 826-5557 for a brochure and a copy of the code.
