(A) An officer or employee must refrain from acting on, or discussing, formally or informally, a matter before the city, if acting on the matter, or failing to act on the matter, may personally or financially benefit any of the persons or entities listed in § 40.15(C) above. Such an officer or employee should leave the room if it is a public meeting conducted under KRS 61.810 and KRS 61.815.
(B) Withdrawal at a meeting requires the public announcement, on the record, of the reason for withdrawal.
(C) Ongoing conflict. An officer or employee whose outside employment, or other outside activity or relationship, can reasonably be expected to require more than sporadic withdrawal, must resign, or cease such outside employment or activity. An officer or employee should not begin employment or an activity or relationship that can reasonably be expected to require more than sporadic withdrawal. If a prospective officer or employee is in such a situation, they should not accept a position with the city.
