City employees are hired, and can be fired for being disrespectful or insubordinate. Council members are elected, and already have an ethics code. If your feelings get hurt in a debate, maybe public service is not your calling. Council members are not children! This is a waste of time and money..
Role models? Respect? Seems to me a somewhat elevated opinion. I mean no disrespect but your elected position doesn’t guarantee you a status that is larger than those who elected you. Like my Dad used to say , “you’re no better than anyone else in the room,but you’re just as good”
