Commentary
 
At the beginning of each term, Members of Council will be expected to sign two copies of the Code of Conduct (one for themselves and one for the Clerk's Office) to convey to each other and all stakeholders that they have read, understand and accept it.
 
A Code of Conduct component will be included as part of the orientation workshop for each new Council.
