Council and Staff Rules of Conduct. <br />Mayor Coughlin stated the Rules of Conduct had been agreed upon during the Council and Staff <br />Retreat, earlier in the year. Pursuant to discussion at the previous Council Work Session, staff <br />has prepared a poster board, which indicates the Council and Staff Rules of Conduct as follows. <br />1. Respect and do not abuse each other. <br />2. Practice the Golden Rule in all of your interactions. <br />3. Appreciate the value of each team member. <br />4. Communicate the "whys" or the reasons behind comments and decisions. <br />5. Accept people's limitations, and be willing to learn from failure and <br />mistakes. <br />6. Have realistic expectations and demonstrate patience. <br />7. Follow the chain of command at all levels, with the Mayor being seen as the <br />leader of the Council, and the Administrator as the leader of the staff. This <br />does not pertain to information for information sake only interactions. <br />8. Identify and prioritize issues and clearly state direction and goals desired <br />relative to these issues. <br />9. Tell the "painful" truth in all interactions, and be candid. <br />• 10. Keep a sense of humor and find enjoyment in what we do in our interactions <br />with each other, in as much as we possibly can. <br />Mayor Coughlin executed the document, and presented it to the Council and staff for their <br />signatures. <br />Council Member Marty commented that Council and staff had discussed quarterly meetings in <br />regard to the Rules of Conduct, and suggested the first of these meetings be scheduled in <br />November. <br />Mayor Coughlin asked the City Administrator if he had spoken with staff to determine agreeable <br />dates for this meeting. <br />City Administrator Whiting stated he would speak to staff the following day, however, staff <br />would make themselves available at the convenience of the Council. <br />Mayor Coughlin noted it was the consensus of Council and staff to hold quarterly meetings, in an <br />attempt to divert any potential miscommunications. <br />6. REPORTS <br />Council Member Quick had no report. <br />• Council Member Thomason had no report. <br />
