[Amended 1-12-2009 by L.L. No. 1-2009]
Pursuant to the provisions of § 806
of the General Municipal Law which mandates the adoption of a Code
of Ethics by each Town government, the Town Board of the Town of Cazenovia
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 obtained and if public confidence is to be maintained in
our unit of local government. It is the purpose of this chapter to
promulgate these rules of ethical conduct for the officers and employees
of the Town of Cazenovia. These rules shall serve as a guide for official
conduct of the officers and employees of the Town of Cazenovia. The
rules of ethical conduct of this chapter, as adopted, shall not conflict
with, but shall be in addition to any prohibition of Article 18 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.
