6.DISCUSSION ITEMS

  1. A.Revised Code of Conduct for Elected Officials

    Summary: Review and discussion of a proposed revision to the Code of Conduct for City elected officials. This revision is intended to promote ethical governance, civility, and clarity of roles under the Council–Manager form of government. The proposed draft outlines expectations for professional behavior, public engagement, and interactions with staff and the community. 

    The current version of the Code of Conduct is thorough but overly long and legalistic. Its detailed enforcement and complaint procedures create a formal, quasi-judicial process that could escalate conflicts rather than promote civil resolution. A revised Code of Conduct can better focus on clear expectations, civility, and roles, while remaining practical, accessible, and aligned with the Council’s day-to-day work.

  2. B.Review of Sanitary Sewer Credit Policy

    Summary: The City will review a comparison of Two Rivers’ current sanitary sewer credit policy with those of other communities, highlighting differences in eligibility, credit amounts, and administrative approaches. This discussion will provide context on how other municipalities handle leak-related billing adjustments and the range of policy options available. Council direction will be sought regarding potential updates to the City’s existing policy.
