The proper operation of democratic government requires that public Officials and Employees be independent, impartial and responsible to the people; that government decisions and policy be made in 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 Code of Ethics for all Village of Hobart Officials and Employees, whether elected or appointed, paid or unpaid, including members of boards, committees and commissions of the Village. Due to the fact that the Village of Hobart's counsel is bound by the Wisconsin Rules of Professional Conduct for Attorneys, the Village of Hobart's legal counsel is not governed by this Code of Ethics. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to establish guidelines for ethical standards of conduct for all such Officials and Employees by setting forth these acts or actions that are incompatible with the best interest of the Village and by directing disclosure by such officials and Employees of private financial or other interests in matters affecting the Village. The provisions of this Code of Ethics and such rules and regulations, as may be established, are hereby declared to be in the best interests of the Village.
