Employees have a responsibility to avoid any situation that might make it difficult to act in the best interest of the city. In general, a conflict of interest could exist when you or a member of your family has a financial interest in a city dealing with the City of Peru. In addition, if you would receive any personal gain from a business relationship, a conflict of interest likely exists. If any business/vendor/supplier relationship could affect your judgment or decisions exercised on behalf of the City of Peru, then there is a conflict of interest. For clarity on whether any transaction or vendor relationship is or might be appropriate, you should contact a member of management.
