In order to make the City of Beverly Hills a better community, built on mutual respect and trust, and in order to promote and maintain the highest standards of personal and professional conduct among all involved in City government, and in order to avoid any appearance of undue influence on City officials and elected officials in making governmental actions and decisions, the City Council finds it desirable to impose reasonable restrictions on the ability of former city officials, elected officials and planning commissioners to influence the city, or its officers and employees.
