HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.F.4. Adoption of City Council Norms of Behavior Consent Business 4. F. 4. SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kris Wilson, Acting City Administrator DATE: 03/17/2015 SUBJECT: Adoption of City Council Norms of Behavior (F) Action Sought The Council is asked to adopt the following Agreed Upon Norms of Behavior as discussed during the March 12 workshop. 1. Speak only for yourself, not for other Councilmembers - unless specifically tasked by your colleagues to speak for the group. 2. Don't question motives. Assume others have positive intentions, even when you disagree. 3. Be respectful of one another, and the public process, at all times. Do not criticize staff or others in public. 4. Aim for consensus, but accept decisions of the majority once made. 5. Stay focused on the elected official role -- policy, prioritization and citizen representation. 6. Work primarily through the City Administrator, occasionally through a Department Head, and never through line staff. Refrain from attending staff meetings, trainings, "ride-alongs" or group staff functions unless specifically invited or scheduled through Administration. 7. Respect staff and the fact that they work for the Council as a whole. Don't expect or ask them to engage in the fray (secrets, gossip, triangulate), make your individual case (to take sides), or to be your "insider" (informant). 8. After each Council Meeting, each Councilmember should acknowledge each other. Requested Action The Council is asked to move to adopt the above Agreed Upon Norms of Behavior for elected officials of the City of Shakopee.
