City Personnel Policy Manual Update January 19, 2021 Conflict of Interest The credibility of local government rests heavily upon the confidence residents have in public officials to render fair and impartial services to all without regard to personal interest and/or political influence. Thus, city officials and employees must scrupulously avoid any activities that suggest a conflict of interest between their private interests and city responsibilities. The city has adopted a Conflict of Interest Ordinance that addresses these issues (Chapter 2, Article 3, Division 3, Section 2- 132). Employees and officials are required to follow all applicable laws related to conflicts of interest, including the city’s Conflict of Interest Ordinance which can be found on Access Elk River and in the City Code of Ordinances.
