The Naples City Council rejected a proposal Wednesday to make changes to the city’s ethics ordinance that some members argued would have weakened the rules governing the conduct of elected officials.

All Naples citizens – including the City Council – share the commitment to the highest ethical standards embodied in the lead motto emblazoned on the City’s website: “ETHICS above all else”.
The following is a letter from concerned citizens and myself. We look forward to the meeting and the intentional discussion about the changes presented to council by staff.
The Naples City Council is set to vote Wednesday on a proposal that some consider a loosening of ethics guidelines for public officials, including eliminating a rule that forbids council members from doing business with firms seeking council approval for projects.
We are very concerned about the proposed change in the City of Naples Code of Ethics which calls for the abandoning of the more stringent City of Naples Code and the adoption of the State of Florida Ethics Law.
