League Publications: You as a Public Official

Did you know the League has several publications available to its members? Many resources can be found through the League. One publication available is the You as a Public Official.

As an elected official, you will need to know and understand the various Arizona laws that apply to your conduct in office and how to comply with them. The latest report is designed to assist you in meeting that challenge. Seven topics are included: open meetings, conflict of interests; public records; incompatibility of offices; nepotism; financial disclosure; and limitations on entertainment.

The life of a public official is not an easy one. In addition to the challenges of making good decisions for the future of your community, you must be careful to not violate state laws during your service on the city or town council. These laws, like the seven highlighted in this report, continually affect the decision-making process.
