Home MenuBoard of Ethics
PURPOSE: To secure and maintain financial disclosure and affiliation statements from those persons required to file such a statement; to develop and recommend to the city council a code of ethics applicable to public officials; to evaluate, make findings of fact and issue advisory opinions for the city council on questions of possible unethical conduct or conflict of interest. When the possible unethical conduct or conflict of interest concerns the prohibited political activities or gift ban provisions of this chapter, the board may recommend to the city council that the matter be referred to the law department for appropriate action pursuant to 5 Illinois Compiled Statutes 430/1-1 et seq. Such deliberations may be initiated by the board or upon request, given due cause; to consider related issues in addition to references from the city council, and to develop rules and procedures to govern its own conduct of business.
The Board of Ethics shall report to the rules committee of the city council, as needed, or at least annually. (20-0-78) (2-0-81) (1-O-86) (92-O-89) (29-O-07)
