Alexandria City Council members vowed to follow three “Rs” in 2021 – their roles, responsibilities and respect.
At their first meeting of the year Monday night, they unanimously adopted a Code of Conduct for elected officials.
The 13-page document, originally adopted in 2016, describes how the mayor and council members should treat one another, city staff, consultants, constituents and others they may come in contact with while representing the city.

Mayor Sara Carlson received accolades at Monday night’s Alexandria City Council meeting.
It was her last one as the mayor. She announced earlier in the year that it was time to step down from the position and let a new person lead the city.
The new person turned out to be Ward 3 council member and mayor-elect Bobbie Osterberg, who presented Carlson with a plaque of appreciation on behalf of city residents, the council and city staff.
