B. Restriction On Former Public Servants Regarding Their Former Duties:
1. Permanent Disqualification Of Former Public Servant Personally Involved In A Particular Matter: No former public servant shall knowingly act as a principal or as an agent for anyone other than the city in connection with any of the following matters in which the city is a party or has a direct interest: a) a judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling, or other determination; b) a contract; c) a claim; or d) a charge or controversy; in which the public servant participated personally and substantially through decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, rendering of advice, investigation, or otherwise while a public servant.
2. One Year Restriction Regarding Matters In Which A Former Public Servant Was Officially Responsible: With respect to matters that were within a former public servant's official responsibility while he or she was a public servant, but in which such public servant did not participate personally or substantially, the restrictions set forth in subsection A of this section shall apply, but only for a period of one year after cessation of the former public servant's official responsibility.
C. Disqualification Of Business Entity In Which A Public Servant Or Volunteer Public Servant Has A Financial Interest: No business entity in which a public servant or volunteer public servant has a financial interest shall knowingly act as a principal or as an agent for anyone other than the city in connection with any of the following matters in which the city is a party or has a direct interest: 1) a judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling, or other determination; 2) a contract; 3) a claim; or 4) a charge or controversy; in which the public servant or volunteer public servant participates personally and substantially through decision, approval, disapproval, recommendation, the rendering of advice, investigation, or otherwise.
D. Selling To The City After Termination Of Employment Is Prohibited: No former public servant, unless the former public servant's last annual salary did not exceed thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00), shall engage in selling or attempting to sell supplies, services, or construction to the city for one year following the date his or her employment by the city ceased. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to sales or attempted sales pursuant to a contract awarded through an open and public bidding process. This subsection is not intended to preclude a former public servant from accepting employment with private industry solely because the former public servant's employer is a contractor with the city, nor shall a former public servant be precluded from serving as a consultant to the city.
