a. Ethics Code. The City Commission

Charter Review Advisory Board · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Tallahassee is planning to enact a new ethics or conflicts of interest code. This code will apply to all city officers and employees, including elected and appointed officials, as well as members of boards, commissions, and committees. It will also cover city commissioners when they serve on outside governmental agencies. The code is intended to supplement existing state ethics laws. This item is currently under review and is planned for enactment within six months. The development of this code will involve legal review and drafting, followed by potential public input and final adoption by the City Commission. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this process as it develops, as early engagement can provide an advantage before specific implementation details and related service needs are finalized.
