ITEM 2 |
GM3/19 - Code of Conduct and Procedures - Adoption of New Model Codes |
Additional information with CHANGE to Recommendation
Based on my further review of the wording of the additional clause related to “Use of Social Media” within the proposed Code/s of Conduct I consider that part b) of this additional clause could be strengthened.
The wording of this part currently reads as follows:
b) contains content about the council that is misleading or deceptive
I recommend that this wording now read as follows:
b) contains content about or concerning the council that is false, misleading or deceptive
An updated recommendation is provided below:
|
THAT: 1. The Code of Conduct for Councillors; Code of Conduct for Council Staff; Code of Conduct for Council Committee Members, Delegates of Council and Council Advisers; and Procedures for the Administration of the Code of Conduct attached to General Manager’s Report No. GM3/19 be adopted and take effect immediately. subject to the following wording being inserted at part b) of the additional clause titled “Use of Social Media” within each of the respective Codes of Conduct: b) contains content about or concerning the council that is false, misleading or deceptive. 2. The General Manager be authorised to prepare a Code of Conduct for Contractors and Code of Conduct for Advisory Committee Members based on wording from the Codes of Conduct adopted at point 1 above. |
