<br />LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, LTD. <br /> <br />Mr. Bill Rubin, Executive Director <br />~Economic Development Authority <br />~une 7, 1994 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />The conflict of interest ordinance provides, in part, that: <br /> <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 /> <br />(1) having an interest in any business which has contacts or <br />other direct dealings with the city; <br /> <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 /> <br />e <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 />e <br />
