H.R. FACTS

Providing equitable service to all stakeholders is an essential tenet of our Code of Ethics. The spirit of this tenet is very much at the heart of the form of local government that we have here in Little Elm.

When the Council/Manager form of government was founded more than 100 years ago, it was created by reformers seeking to weed out political patronage and corruption.

This was back in machine-era politics, where city services, contracts, and jobs were handed out to those loyal to the party bosses. The reform movement believed that all community members should be afforded the same opportunities and access to services regardless of their connections.

While many rules, procedures, and ethical tenets have their roots in this movement, providing equitable services to all is foundational. We provide the public with the services they need to live their lives and use their resources and tax dollars to do it.

This places a great responsibility on our shoulders to ensure that we are doing right by them and providing equitable service to everyone, not just those we like or those who have the right connections.
