The proper operation of municipal government requires that public
officials and employees be independent, impartial and responsible
to the people; that public office not be used for personal gain; and
that the public have confidence in the integrity of its government.
In recognition of these goals, there is hereby established a procedure
for disclosure by certain officials of the City of Warson Woods (the
"City") of personal or private interests in matters affecting the
City.
