3.02.070 Incompatible employment activities.
A. A local agency officer or employee shall not engage in any employment, activity, or enterprise for compensation which is inconsistent, incompatible, in conflict with, or inimical to his or her duties as a local agency officer or employee or with the duties, functions, or responsibilities of his or her appointing power or the agency by which he or she is employed. The officer or employee shall not perform any work, service or counsel for compensation outside of his or her local agency employment where any part of his or her efforts will be subject to approval by any other officer, employee, board, or commission of his or her employing body, unless otherwise approved by the Board of Supervisors.
B. For purposes of determining those outside activities which, for county employees, are inconsistent with, incompatible to, or in conflict with their duties as local agency officers or employees, the following outside employment, activity or enterprise is prohibited if it:
1. Involves the use for private gain or advantage of his or her local agency time, facilities, equipment and supplies; or the badge, uniform, prestige, or influence of his or her local agency office or employment;
2. Involves receipt or acceptance by the officer or employee of any money or other consideration from anyone other than his or her local agency for the performance of an act which the officer or employee, if not performing such act, would be required or expected to render in the regular course or hours of his or her local agency employment or as a part of his or her duties as a local agency officer or employee;
3. Involves the performance of an act in other than his or her capacity as a local agency officer or employee which act may later be subject directly or indirectly to the control, inspection, review, audit, or enforcement of any other officer or employee or the agency by which he or she is employed;
4. Involves the time demands as would render performance of his or her duties as a local agency officer or employee less efficient.
C. Subsections (B)(1) through (B)(4) of this section shall not be deemed to be exclusive circumstances which may constitute prohibited employment or activity.
D. Officers and employees who engage in the prohibited activities are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
E. Notice of the foregoing prohibited employment, activity, or enterprise and discipline for violation thereof shall be given to all new county officers and employees at the employee’s employment orientation. Notice to presently employed officers and employees shall be provided through the department manager.
