The proper operation of municipal government requires the public
officials and employees be independent, impartial and responsible
to the people; that government decisions and policy be made in the
proper channels of the governmental structure; that public office
not be used for personal gain; and that the public have confidence
in the integrity of its government. In recognition of these goals,
there is hereby established a procedure for disclosure by certain
City Officials and City employees of private financial or other interest
in matters affecting the City of Fenton.
