53 <br />Codes of conduct <br />Minn. Stat. § 410.20. <br />Recall of public officials is not possible in statutory cities. In addition, there is no authority in state <br />statute to provide for removal of a councilmember by vote of the council or through application of a city- <br />based ethics policy. There is also no authority to levy fines for violations. As a result, city codes of <br />conduct for elected officials are generally enforced through censure. Censure is a formal resolution of <br />council stating that a councilmember has violated the city’s ethical rules and expressing disapproval of <br />his or her actions. <br /> League of Minnesota Cities and National League of Cities resources: <br />Core Competencies in Local Government <br />League of Minnesota Cities Handbook for Minnesota Cities <br />League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota Mayor Handbook <br />Elected Officials and Council Structure and Role <br />League of Minnesota Cities Meetings of City Councils <br />League of Minnesota Cities Meetings, Motions, Resolutions, Ordinances <br />Good Start to Good Governance <br />Official Conflict of Interest <br />Sample Resolution from Duluth City Council <br />Race Equity Toolkit: An Opportunity to Operationalize Equity <br />5 Ways Cities Can Use Data to Become More Efficient and Effective <br />Draft Sample Statement of Values (adapted from League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota Mayor <br />Handbook pages 73-76) <br />Articles/Reference Documents <br />Driving Diversity and Inclusion through Governance <br />Director Onboarding and the Foundations of Respect <br />Organizational Culture and Leadership <br />Defining Culture and Organizational Culture <br />STATEMENT OF VALUES
