A code of conduct with sections on social media and cellphones applicable to the Apache Junction City Council, boards and commissions members is being drafted.
The council on Jan. 15 voted unanimously to direct city staff members to prepare the document.
“When we became a city, there was no Internet or Facebook — there was no means of communications like that before. Many cities and counties have had to go to set in similar codes of conduct as part of the city direction for the boards and that,” Councilwoman Gail Evans said at the council’s Jan. 15 meeting.
