LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY& LINDGREN, LTD. <br /> Mr. Bill Rubin, Executive Director <br /> Economic Development Authority <br /> June 7, 1994 <br /> Page 4 <br /> The conflict of interest ordinance provides, in part, that: <br /> City officials and employees must scrupulously avoid any activity <br /> which suggests a conflict of interest between their private <br /> interests and City responsibilities. Officials and employees of <br /> the City, or their family members, shall not engage or have <br /> financial interests in any business or other activity which could <br /> reasonably lead to a conflict of interest with the officials or <br /> employees ' primary city responsibilities. . . . Examples of <br /> activities which are not in accordance with this policy include, <br /> but are not limited to, the following: <br /> (1) having an interest in any business which has contacts or <br /> other direct dealings with the city; <br /> (4) using an official ' s or employee' s authority, influence, <br /> or City position for the purpose of private or personal <br /> financial gain; <br /> • (7) entering into a business transaction when it involves <br /> using confidential information gained in the course of <br /> employment or is with an individual or entity that has <br /> contacts or other direct dealings with the City; <br /> (8) accepting other employment or public office where it <br /> will affect the official ' s or employee's independence of <br /> judgment or require use of confidential information <br /> gained as a result of City duties; <br /> (9) acting as an agent or representative for another in any <br /> matter pending before the City or Council, except in the <br /> proper discharge of duties. For example, an official or <br /> employee should not appear before City Council on behalf <br /> of a third party and seek to use their position or <br /> influence to sway the Council; <br /> The conflict of interest ordinance sets forth twelve examples of <br /> activities not in accordance with the conflict of interest policy. I <br /> have set forth above the five which I believe may affect President <br /> Gongoll . Set forth below are my comments on how these provisions may <br /> apply to President Gongoll ' s situation. <br /> • <br />
