A proposed code of conduct for Erie City Council was rejected at Wednesday’s council meeting.
An incident in June where Councilman Ed Brzezinski misgendered Council President Tyler Titus raised questions of respect and decorum in city council. Since then, calls for a code of conduct came from the community.

The proposed code outlined how council should address each other in a respectful manner, followed by consequences for the code not being followed.
Council voted 4-3 against implementing this code of conduct on Wednesday.
