A. Use of position to obtain employment for others. No officer or appointee shall directly or indirectly obtain or seek to obtain preferential treatment for any person seeking employment or other consideration from the Village for any purpose other than the betterment, advantage or best interests of the Village. Nothing shall preclude the corporate authorities from exercising the full authority vested in them in the hiring of the Village Manager or other officer they have a duty to hire.
B. Discrimination on account of race, religion, national origin or sex. No officer, appointee or employee shall appoint or remove from, or in any way favor or discriminate against any other person with respect to any appointive office because of his or her race, religion, national origin or sex. However, this provision does not impair the appointing authority's discretion in determining the requirements for a position or in specifying a job assignment for a person already employed. Neither shall this provision affect any right or obligation of the Village to function as an affirmative action employer.
C. Disclosure of information. No officer, appointee or employee with respect to any transaction that is, or is reasonably expected to become, the subject of an official act or action, shall, without proper legal authorization, disclose confidential information concerning the property, government or affairs of the Village or use such information to advance the interest of such public official or employee or his family members.
