A) There is a reasonable public notice, and the goods are sold through public auction; <br />or <br />B) The property is sold by a sealed bid process and the Employee has the highest <br />responsible bid. The Employee who buys the property must not be involved in the <br />auction or sealed bid process. <br />No Employee may accept any gift or gratuity in any size under circumstances in which it <br />could be reasonably thought to influence him or her in the performance of his or her <br />official duties or in which it appears to be a reward for any official action on his or her part. <br />Gifts or gratuities which may be acceptable are as follows: <br />A) Awards for meritorious civic service contribution. <br />B) Unsolicited items of nominal value that are donated to and shared by the work <br />group. <br />C) Unsolicited advertising or promotional materials with a value of less than $5.00. <br />D) Unsolicited items such as meals which may be provided during meetings, <br />receptions, or other gatherings where the elected official or Employee is in <br />attendance in his/her official capacity. <br />20.3 Nepotism <br />General: Relatives of current City Employees and City Council Members are not eligible <br />for employment in job classification in which a conflict of interest may occur. Therefore, <br />relatives will not be hired where: <br />A) One relative would have the sole authority or practical power to supervise, appoint, <br />remove, or discipline the other. <br />B) One relative would be responsible for auditing the work of the other. <br />C) Other circumstances exist which would place the relative in a situation of actual or <br />reasonably foreseeable conflict between the City's interests or their own; or <br />D) Where the applicant/City Employee has a relative who is employed by an <br />organization with whom the city has business dealings, and in the City's judgment, <br />considering the positions and job responsibilities of both the applicant/Employee <br />and the relative would create an appearance of improper influence or favor or <br />would jeopardize the confidentiality of data maintained by the City. <br />The city is not obligated to give special treatment, such as preferential scheduling, to <br />married couples. <br />Page 39 of 60 <br />
