Name: Irma Perez Jauregui Title: Mrs. CITY OF SANTA ANA – CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT CERTIFICATION As an elected or appointed official of the City of Santa Ana, California, I herein certify that I have received a copy of the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the City of Santa Ana, have been offered training and assistance in understanding this code, and am aware of the provisions of the code and its application to my responsibilities. Consistent with the code, I pledge the following in the conduct of my duties: INTEGRITY / HONESTY I am honest with my fellow elected officials, the public and others. I do not promise what I believe to be unrealistic. I am prepared to make unpopular decisions when my sense of the public’s best interests requires it. I credit others’ contributions to moving our community’s interests forward. I do not knowingly use false or inaccurate information to support my position or views. I safeguard the ability to make independent, objective, fair and impartial judgments by scrupulously avoiding financial and social relationships and transactions that may compromise, or give the appearance of compromising, objectivity, independence, and honesty. RESPONSIBILITY / PROTECTING THE PUBLIC’S INTERESTS I do not accept gifts, services or other special considerations because of my public position. I excuse myself from participating in decisions when my or my family’s financial interests may be affected by my agency’s actions. I do not give special treatment or consideration to any individual or group beyond that available to any other individual. I refrain from disclosing confidential information concerning litigation, personnel, property, or other affairs of the City, without proper legal authority, nor use such information to advance my financial or other personal interests. FAIRNESS / ACCOUNTABILITY I promote meaningful public involvement in the agency’s decision-making processes. I treat all persons, claims and transactions in a fair and equitable manner; I make decisions based on the merits of the issue. If I receive substantive information that is relevant to a matter under consideration from sources outside the public decision-making process, I publicly share it with my fellow governing board members and staff. I work to contribute to a strong organization that exemplifies transparency and open communication.
