When they met Tuesday, the Leavenworth County Port Authority Board of Directors approved an ethical practices agreement.
The agreement lays out nine practices that the members of the Port Authority agree to follow. This includes not taking advantage of, or benefitting from, information they obtain that is not generally available to the public.
The Port Authority is a quasi-governmental organization that focuses on economic development. The Port Authority’s board members are appointed by Leavenworth County and local city governments.
Port Authority Chairman Greg Kaaz said the board approved the agreement five to seven years ago under a previous chairman.
The Port Authority announced plans on Thursday for a World Trade Center development at the site of the former Deutsche Bank building that would include more residential units than any building in Manhattan.
