MTCMA Code of Ethics

• MTCMA Code of Ethics
• Rules of Procedure for Enforcement
• General
• These rules govern the procedures for enforcing
  the Maine Town and City Management Association
  (MTCMA) Code of Ethics (the Code) as provided
  by the MTCMA Bylaws.
• All members of MTCMA agree to abide by the Code
  of Ethics.
• The purpose of these rules is to provide a
  reasonable process for investigating and
  determining whether a member has violated the
  Code, and to afford each individual member who is
  the subject of an investigation (the
  respondent) a full and fair opportunity to be
  heard throughout the process.
• It is the intention of the MTCMA Board of
  Directors that these rules be carried out
  carefully but expeditiously in order to minimize
  the time during which a member may be subject to
  possible disciplinary action. Accordingly, time
  limits stated in these rules are binding, subject
  to extensions which may be granted by the Board
  of Directors, Ethics Committee or the Ethics
  Committee Chair (the Chair), for reasonable
  cause, upon request.
• No person may participate in any proceedings on a
  complaint brought under these rules if that
  person is or may be a witness or complainant in
  that case, or if his or her participation would
  otherwise create, or appear to create, a conflict
  of interest. The Chair may select a replacement
  for any person (other than a member of the Board
  of Directors) who is unable to participate in the
  case for this reason.
