Council-Manager Government

The County Manager and Assistant County Manager are members of the International City/County Managers Association (ICMA) and strictly adhere to the ICMA Code of Ethics. Adopted in 1924, the ICMA Code of Ethics creates a foundation for excellence in local government management. The Code requires leadership in a management structure committed to equity, transparency, integrity, stewardship of public resources, political neutrality, and respect for the rights and responsibility of elected officials and residents. By following its tenets, democratic local governance is strengthened.
