§ 15. Conflict of interest
No elective or appointive official or employee of the City shall be beneficially interested
directly or indirectly in any contract with the City, regardless of amount, or furnish
any material, or perform any labor, except in the discharge of his or her official
duties, unless such contract shall have been awarded upon bids advertised for by publication.
Such publication shall be in a locally distributed newspaper. No officer or employee
of the City shall take part in any decision concerning the business of the City in
which he or she has a direct or indirect financial interest, aside from his or her
salary as an official or employee, greater than any other citizen or taxpayer in the
City. This section shall not apply in the event of an emergency where immediate action
shall be deemed more important to the City than the receipt of formal bids. (Amended 2009, No. M-23 (Adj. Sess.), § 16, eff. May 20, 2010.)
