<br />ATTACHMENT <br /> <br />CERTIFICATION <br /> <br />As an elected or appointed official of the City of Santa Ana, California, I herein certify <br />that I have received a copy of the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the City of Santa Ana, <br />have been offered training and assistance in understanding this code, and am aware of <br />the provisions of the code and its application to my responsibilities. Consistent with the <br />code, I pledge the following in the conduct of my duties: <br /> <br />INTEGRITY/ HONESTY <br /> <br />. I am honest with my fellow elected officials, the public and others. <br />. I do not promise what I believe to be unrealistic. <br />. I am prepared to make unpopular decisions when my sense of the public's best <br />interests requires it. <br />. I credit others' contributions to moving our community's interests forward. <br />. I do not knowingly use false or inaccurate information to support my position or <br />views. <br />. I safeguard the ability to make independent, objective, fair and impartial <br />judgments by scrupulously avoiding financial and social relationships and <br />transactions that may compromise, or give the appearance of compromising, <br />objectivity, independence, and honesty. <br /> <br />RESPONSIBILITY/PROTECTING THE PUBLIC'S INTERESTS <br /> <br />. I do not accept gifts, services or other special considerations because of my <br />public position. <br />. I excuse myself from participating in decisions when my or my family's financial <br />interests may be affected by my agency's actions. <br />. I do not give special treatment or consideration to any individual or group beyond <br />that available to any other individual. <br />. I refrain from disclosing confidential information concerning litigation, personnel, <br />property, or other affairs of the City, without proper legal authority, nor use such <br />information to advance my financial or other personal interests. <br /> <br />FAIRNESS/ACCOUNTABILITY <br /> <br />. I promote meaningful public involvement in the agency's decision-making <br />processes. <br />. I treat all persons, claims and transactions in a fair and equitable manner; I make <br />decisions based on the merits of the issue. <br />. If I receive substantive information that is relevant to a matter under <br />consideration from sources outside the public decision-making process, I publicly <br />share it with my fellow governing board members and staff. <br />. I work to contribute to a strong organization that exemplifies transparency and <br />open communication. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2008-039 <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />
