City Council Code of Conduct
The Public Ethics Commission began a project in February 2013 to raise awareness of the Oakland City Council Code of Conduct and encourage compliance with the Code. As part of the SPARK Apprenticeship Program with Frick Middle School in East Oakland, Commission staff mentored eighth-grade student Akira Rodgers to create this City Council Code of Conduct video.
