Title: Ethical Decision Making: Challenge of the 1990's—A Practical Approach for Local Governments
Abstract: This article describes the challenges of establishing ethical decision-making in local government organizations. As governments operate in the “Sunshine,” the intense public and media scrutiny requires policy action on ethics for both elected and appointed officials. The ethical dilemmas facing public service are discussed as a prelude to developing ethics guidelines that reflect doing business in the 1990's. The City of Largo ethics policy is presented as an approach that recognizes the importance of merging a well articulated organizational value system with specific guidelines for ethical conduct.
