(a) Employees of the City may not receive or accept any personal gifts or gratuities which obligate the City or its employees in any way or which are intended to influence such. A personal gift is generally defined as one which is expressly for an individual and is not an object produced for general distribution as a means of advertising such as inexpensive pens or calendars.
(b) City employees should refrain from recommending any one particular provider of services such as an attorney, physician, dentist, etc., to a member of the public. The best method is to refer the public to the proper listings in the telephone directory and permit them to make their own choice.
