§ 14-111. Work standards.

Every employee must remember that the town is a tax-supported entity and the citizens of the town paying those taxes should receive the best possible quality and highest standard of service possible. Public employees should act in a professional manner, using good judgment and courtesy at all times, and should avoid any type of behavior that would even appear illegal or unethical. Employees should carry out their work efficiently, honestly and with the intention of keeping good relationships with the public.

Individual employees must be responsible to their supervisor. Work directions and results, measurement of performance and handling grievances are the responsibility of the supervisor.

Occasionally, someone may give employees directions other than their direct supervisor. In these instances, it is the employee's responsibility to inform the supervisor of the situation.

Communication with the public about city issues is the responsibility of the designated official or department head. Any controversial or unusual request or question from the public must be referred to that official.
