<br />, <br /> <br />General: The City Council of the City of Centerville requires all Employees of the <br />City to adhere to the following code of conduct and ethics. The purpose of this <br />policy is to establish standards for all such persons by setting forth actions which are <br />incompatible with the best interest of the City of Centerville, its taxpayers or in <br />conflict with state or federal laws. <br /> <br />20.2 Conflicts of Interest <br /> <br />No Employee having the power or duty to perform an official act or action may be <br />directly or indirectly interested in any contract, transaction, or zoning decision of the <br />City of Centerville except as provided for in the Minnesota State Statutes. <br /> <br />Any Employee having an interest in any proposed legislative action of the City <br />Council and who gives an opinion or recommendation to the Council, shall disclose <br />on the record of the Council meeting the nature and extent of such an interest. <br /> <br />No Employee may purchase personal property from the City except property that is <br />no longer needed by the City under the following conditions: <br /> <br />A) There is a reasonable public notice and the goods are sold through public <br />auction; and <br /> <br />B) The property is sold by a sealed bid process and the Employee has the <br />highest responsible bid. The Employee who buys the property must not be <br />involved in the auction or sealed bid process. <br /> <br />No Employee may accept any gift or gratuity in any size under circumstances in <br />which it could be reasonably thought to influence him or her in the performance of <br />his or her official duties or in which it appears to be a reward for any official action <br />on his or her part.
