THE CITY OF SANTA ANA

CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

ADOPTED JUNE 2, 2008

The people of the City of Santa Ana, at an election held on February 5, 2008,

approved an amendment to the City Charter of the City of Santa Ana which states: “The

City of Santa Ana shall adopt a Code of Ethics and Conduct for elected officials and

members of appointed boards, commissions, and committees to assure public

confidence in the integrity of local government elected and appointed officials.”

Consistent with the vote of the people, the following Code of Ethics and Conduct is

hereby adopted by the City of Santa Ana to ensure effective and fair operation of the

local government of the City of Santa Ana.

PREAMBLE

It is the intent of this code to achieve fair, ethical, and accountable local

government for the City of Santa Ana. The people of Santa Ana expect public officials,

both elected and appointed, to comply with both the letter and the spirit of the laws of

the State of California, the United States of America, and the Charter, Municipal Code,

and established policies of the City of Santa Ana affecting the operations of local

government. In addition, public officials are expected to comply with the provisions of

this Code of Ethics and Conduct established pursuant to the expressed will of the

people. All persons covered by this code will aspire to meet the highest ethical

standards in the conduct of their responsibility as an elected or appointed official of the

City of Santa Ana.

This code addresses various aspects related to the governance of the City of

Santa Ana and supplements, but does not supplant other laws and rules that prescribe

the legal responsibilities of City officials. These include, but are not limited to, the

Federal and State Constitutions, various provisions of the California Government Code

(such as the Brown Act and the Political Reform Act), the Labor Code, laws prohibiting

discrimination and harassment, and the City of Santa Ana Charter and Municipal Code.

Elected and appointed officials are expected to be familiar with these laws to ensure

that they exercise their public responsibilities in a proper fashion. This code is not

designed to be used as a tool to remove appointed officials, as the City Council retains

the right under the Charter and Municipal Code to remove appointed officials in

accordance with those provisions.

While it is not possible to anticipate and provide a rule of conduct and ethics for

all situations that public officials may face, this Code of Ethics and Conduct is designed

to provide a framework to guide public officials in their daily duties.

II.

SCOPE

The provisions of this Code of Ethics and Conduct shall apply to the

Mayor and members of the City Council, and to all members of the boards,

commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council or the Mayor or the Mayor

and City Council, including any ad hoc committees. Further, the provisions of this Code

of Ethics and Conduct shall only apply to these officials and members acting in their

official capacities and in the discharge of their duties.

III.

CORE VALUES

Attitudes, words, and actions should demonstrate, support, and reflect the

following qualities and characteristics for the well being of our community. The five core

values and expressions that reflect these core values are as follows:

INTEGRITY / HONESTY

 I am honest with my fellow elected officials, the public and others.

 I do not promise what I believe to be unrealistic.

 I am prepared to make unpopular decisions when my sense of the public’s best

interests requires it.

 I credit others’ contributions to moving our community’s interests forward.

 I do not knowingly use false or inaccurate information to support my position or

views.

 I safeguard the ability to make independent, objective, fair and impartial

judgments by scrupulously avoiding financial and social relationships and

transactions that may compromise, or give the appearance of compromising,

objectivity, independence, and honesty.

RESPONSIBILITY / PROTECTING THE PUBLIC’S INTERESTS

 I do not accept gifts, services or other special considerations because of my

public position.

 I excuse myself from participating in decisions when my or my immediate family’s

financial interests may be affected by my agency’s actions.

 I do not give special treatment or consideration to any individual or group beyond

that available to any other individual.

 I refrain from disclosing confidential information concerning litigation, personnel,

property, or other affairs of the City, without proper legal authority, nor use such

information to advance my financial or other personal interests.

FAIRNESS / ACCOUNTABILITY

 I promote meaningful public involvement in the agency’s decision-making

processes.

 I treat all persons, claims and transactions in a fair and equitable manner; I make

decisions based on the merits of the issue.

 If I receive substantive information that is relevant to a matter under

consideration from sources outside the public decision-making process, I publicly

share it with my fellow governing board members and staff.

 I work to contribute to a strong organization that exemplifies transparency and

open communication.

RESPECT FOR FELLOW ELECTED OR APPOINTED OFFICIALS, STAFF, AND THE

PUBLIC

 I treat my fellow officials, staff and the public with patience, courtesy and civility,

even when we disagree on what is best for the community.

 I work towards consensus building and gain value from diverse opinions.

 I respect the distinction between the role of office holder and staff; I involve staff

in meetings with individuals, those with business before the agency, officials from

other agencies and legislators to ensure proper staff support and to keep staff

informed

 I conduct myself in a courteous and respectful manner at all times during the

performance of my official City duties.

 I encourage full participation of all persons and groups; I am aware and observe

important celebrations and events which reflect the values of our diverse

population.

PROPER AND EFFICIENT USE OF PUBLIC RESOURCES

 I do not use public resources, such as agency staff time, equipment, supplies or

facilities, for private gain or personal purposes.

 I make decisions after prudent consideration of their financial impact, taking into

account the long-term financial needs of the agency, especially its financial

stability.

 I demonstrate concern for the proper use of agency assets (such as personnel,

time, property, equipment, funds) and follow established procedures.

 I am a prudent steward of public resources and actively consider the impact of

my decisions on the financial and social stability of the City and its residents.

IV.

IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT

City of Santa Ana elected and appointed officials of the various boards,

commissions and committees have the primary responsibility to assure that ethical

standards are understood and met, and that the public can continue to have full

confidence in the integrity of government. This code of ethics will be most effective

when the elected and appointed officials are thoroughly familiar with it and embrace its

provisions.

Upon adoption of this code, all current elected or appointed officials shall

be given a copy of the code and asked to affirm in writing that they have received the

code, understand its provisions, and pledge to conduct themselves by the code. All

new members of the City Council, upon election or reelection, and members of boards,

commissions, and committees appointed by the City Council, upon appointment or

reappointment, shall be given a copy of the code and are required to affirm in writing

they have received the code and understand its provisions, and pledge to conduct

themselves by the code. (See Attachment) Additionally, all members of the City

Council, boards, commissions, and committees, as part of their AB1234 training, shall

be provided additional training clarifying the provisions and application of this code. The

City Attorney, or his/her designee, shall serve as a resource person to those persons

covered by the code to assist them in determination of appropriate actions consistent

with the code.

A periodic review of the code shall be conducted to ensure that the code is

an effective and vital document.

This Code of Conduct is intended to be a reflection of the community’s

values as articulated by the Mayor and City Council as they represent the will of the

people of the City of Santa Ana.
