As a member of the “Anytown, USA” mayor’s executive staff, your 5-term mayor just returned
As a member of the “Anytown, USA” mayor’s executive staff, your 5-term mayor just returned from a newly mandated ethics training program required for all elected officials. Although he has been the mayor for more than 20 years, Mayor Tom Jones is somewhat confused about the status of Anytown’s ethics policy and requests that you prepare a brief confidential memorandum “for his eye’s only” describing the advantages and disadvantages of codes of ethics. He also wants to know what you conclude from your analysis about the usefulness of such documents for public entities.
Formatting Consideration: If you explain “best practices” in a memorandum, i.e., use research, format them in typical APA Style. You can use first person in such contexts; just blend the information into the memorandum’s body as you would in a research paper.
