This publication is designed for local boards, from ABC and social services boards to boards of elections, planning boards, boards of education, and area mental health authorities. It covers subjects such as the use of agendas, the powers of the chair, citizen participation in meetings, closed sessions, minutes, and the use of procedural motions. The book contains helpful appendixes that summarize the requirements for each procedural motion and list other statutes that apply to particular local government boards. Suggested Rules of Procedure for Small Local Government Boards, Second Edition, 1998, was reprinted and reformatted as a publication. This reprint adds to Rule 5 and Rule 23 new material that addresses 2005 legislation pertaining to public comment periods and that was originally included as an errata sheet to the 1998 edition. If you own the original 1998 edition and the 2005 errata sheet, you do not need to buy the redesigned publication unless you want the newly worded text. See the Local Government Board Builders Series webpage for other books in the series and related School of Government publications (https://www.sog.unc.edu/resource-series/local-government-board-builders-series-0).

Since this esteemed text was first published in 1997, the General Assembly of North Carolina has made important revisions to conflicts of interest law as well as enacted a law requiring local governments to adopt a code of ethics and local elected officials to receive ethics training and an ethics and lobbying law that, though intended for state officials, has important implications for local governments. This new edition of Ethics, Conflicts, and Offices greatly expands and updates the first version to reflect these significant changes in the law.Also updated are discussions of ethics in public life, multiple and incompatible office-holding, and legal cases, and numerous sample codes of ethics that can be used as guides in drafting local codes of conduct.

Ethics, Conflicts, and Offices: A Guide for Local Officials

Ethics & Professional Responsibility

This handbook incorporates material from Suggested Rules of Procedure for Small Local Government Boards, though the two publications differ in significant ways. Intervening changes in the law have been taken into account. Many of the rules and the accompanying explanatory comments have been substantially rewritten. New rules have been added, and some rules have been eliminated, combined with other rules, or divided into separate rules. The goal throughout has been to make the rules even easier to understand and apply whenever possible.
