1-8-3: STANDARD OF CONDUCT:

No City official shall knowingly:

   A.   Use his or her official position or office to obtain financial gain for him or herself, any member of his or her household, or any business with which he or she or a member of his or her household is associated.

   B.   Use or disclose confidential information gained in the course of or by reason of his or her official position or activities in any way that could result in financial gain for him or herself or for any other person. (Ord. 53-15, 12-8-2015)

   C.   Accept any valuable gift, whether in the form of service, loan, thing or promise from any person or business that is interested directly or indirectly in any manner in a business dealing with the City if that City official has any discretionary function related to the business dealing; provided, however, any City official who is a candidate for public office may accept campaign contributions and services in connection with such campaign. Gifts of any kind shall not be accepted where there exists a substantial risk that the gift would undermine official impartiality. (Ord. 53-15, 12-8-2015; amd. 2019 Code)

   D.   Violate the fiduciary duty owed to the City under this standard of conduct. The fiduciary duty is defined as a duty to act for the benefit of the citizens of the City of Boise, while subordinating one's personal interest to those of the City as a whole. When an employee expends any resources of the City, this duty requires that the expenditure be reasonable, prudent and for the benefit of the City and not for personal gain. (Ord. 53-15, 12-8-2015)
