(a) To avoid the possibility of favoritism and to minimize the problems when employee selections, transfers or promotions are considered, it is the policy of the Municipality that an employee shall not be assigned to a department or job wherein an immediate relative is a direct line of authority of the related employee. Direct line of authority is defined as the employee's immediate supervisor or next immediate supervisor.
(b) Administrative and supervisory personnel at all levels are responsible for reviewing existing and future employee selections and placements in their areas and complying with the intent of this policy.
(c) No relative of an elected official can be employed without prior approval of Council. Existing or proposed exceptions to this policy require a resolution of approval by a majority vote of Council.
