Advisory Opinion No. 40

This is in reference to the disclosure of outside employment submitted by Employee X who is employed as an Engineering Draftsman.

After reviewing the statements in the disclosure and interrogating Employee X, the Ethics Commission has found that:

1. Employee X has an outside employment with Y Engineering Company as a draftsman;

2. Employee X is an Engineering Draftsman with the City;

3. Employee X, as a member of the Planning Department, does only draftsman work for City projects and has no duty or responsibility to review any drafts he may have done for private parties as a member of Y Engineering Company; and

4. Review of drafting for the Planning Department is done by a section other than the section to which Employee X is assigned.

In view of the foregoing, the Ethics Commission concludes that there is no conflict of interest in connection with the outside employment of Employee X.
