TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT MEMORANDUM
MEETING DATE: January 20, 2025 Report No. ADM-25-005
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM: Deb Hopkins, Director of Corporate Services
SUBJECT: Annual Review of Council Code of Conduct
INFORMATION:
In April 2023, Council approved Council Code of Conduct Policy No. ADMIN-80 with provisions under Section 11 to review the policy annually to ensure that it continues to reflect Council’s identified standards of responsible conduct. After the 2024 review, staff were directed to include a requirement for each Council member to sign the Code of Conduct at the conclusion of each annual review.
Policy No. ADMIN-80 (Attachment 1) is attached to this memorandum as required for annual review and direction.
If no revisions to the policy are required, the following motion would be adequate:
That it be recommended to Council that Staff Report ADM-25-005 be received and that all members of Council be directed to sign Policy No. ADMIN-80 and submit the signed copy to the Corporate Officer.
Should Council wish to revise the policy, a motion reflecting those changes would be required. Any motions made will be ratified at the Council meeting scheduled to be held January 27, 2025.
