Should city council continue to have a code of conduct?

Context:

In 2018, city council adopted a Council Code of Conduct, creating a process for complaints to be filed and investigated. Since then, the integrity commissioner has found one councillor in violation of the code three times, but council has never reached the requisite two-thirds majority to censure him.
