Buffalo County is located within the Drift less area of Western Wisconsin, and was founded in 1853. Buffalo County is named after the Buffalo River, which was named in 1680 by Father Hennepin. French voyagers called the river “Riviere des Boeufs,” meaning beef or Buffalo. The 42nd largest County in the State, its boundaries on the south, west, and east are formed by the Mississippi River, and in part, by the Chippewa and Trempealeau Rivers

Page 19

of the County Board.

CODE OF ETHICS The County Board is aware that the Wisconsin State Statutes set forth various forms of conduct which are deemed to be prohibited and this code is not intended to be a criminal code. The acts pre-scribed herein need not be done with intent to do wrong, rather they are acts which, in doing, might cast doubt upon the integrity of the person so acting. Purpose-Because the Buffalo County Board of Supervisors has long been a progressive, innovative body, and because it appears to be in the best interest of the citizens of the County that this board continue to reaffirm its leadership by adopting a Code of Ethics. Intent-The purpose of this code is to hold the respect and inspire confidence of the people of the County and to protect the respective Supervisors from suspicion of misconduct. It is not intended to be a punitive approach to ethics; rather it is a listing of those essentials of ethical conduct which all elected officials should observe. Unethical Conduct-Failure to abide by the rules of conduct on the part of a Supervisor shall be deemed unethical, provided nothing herein shall prohibit a Supervisor from entering into a contract as provided by state law and within the statutory limits imposed. Each County Board Supervisor shall take care to avoid any circumstances which cause that Supervisor to have a conflict of interest in carrying out the duties of the County Board; additionally, Supervisors shall avoid those situations in which there appears to be a conflict of interest. For purposes of this section, a "conflict of interest" means a direct or indirect personal or financial interest which is inconsistent with the proper performance of one's official duties or which would tend to impair one's independence of judgment or action in the performance of official duties. A County Board Supervisor shall not use their position to obtain preferential treatment or obtain financial gain for themselves or their immediate family members or for any business with which they are associated.
