City officers and employees, whether appointed or elected, full time or part time, paid or unpaid, should conduct their official and private affairs so as not to give a reasonable basis for the impression that any such officer or employee can be improperly influenced in the performance of public duties. Such officers or employees should so conduct themselves as to maintain public confidence in their performance of the public trust in the government they represent. All City officials and employees should avoid even the appearance of conflict between their public duties and private interests. (Ord. 785, 7-31-2007, eff. 8-15-2007)
