SECTION 15.05 - Code of Ethics The City requires that each employee conduct business in a manner that reflects high ethical standards and integrity. The following restrictions apply. Employees shall not: A. Accept or solicit, for personal financial gain, any benefit that might reasonably influence them to act improperly in the discharge of official duties. Use their official positions improperly to secure unwarranted privileges or exemptions for themselves, relatives or others. This provision does not preclude officers or employees from acting in a manner consistent with their official duties or from zealously providing public services to anyone who is entitled to them. Participate in making or influencing any City governmental decision or action in which they know that they have financial interest distinguishable from that of the public generally or from that of other employees generally. Use or disclose other than in the performance of their official duties or as may be required by law, confidential information gained in the course of or by reasons of their positions. This provision applies to former officers and employees as well as to current employees. Transact any business on behalf of the City with any business entity of which they or their relatives are officers, agents, or members or on which they or their relatives have a financial interest. Accept other employment or engage in outside activities incompatible with the full and proper discharge of their duties and responsibilities within the City, or which might impair their independent judgment in the performance of their public duty.
