Code of conduct approved for Apache Junction council, boards, commissions
The Apache Junction City Council on March 5 approved a code of conduct applicable to the council, board and commission members that removed draft language on meeting distractions including not rolling one’s eyes when reacting to an opinion.
A draft code of conduct had stated “Members should not roll their eyes, shake their head or otherwise indicate their opinion on a matter or in reaction to a speaker or comments from another member or through other non-verbal means, as such conduct is viewable by the audience and on the live-stream.”
It and other language was replaced with “Members should be aware that nonverbal body language is viewable by the audience and may indicate their opinion or be in reaction to comments from another member or speaker.”
