Statements of Incompatible Activities
On October 8, 2008, all officers and employees of the City will be subject to the provisions of their department, board or commission’s Statement of Incompatible Activities (SIA). The SIA identifies activities that are deemed incompatible with your duties as a City officer or employee. Please take time to review your SIA completely.
You may obtain a paper or electronic copy of the SIA that governs you from your department head. The SIA is also posted on your department’s website, if your department has a website. In addition, the SIAs of all departments, boards and commission are posted below.
The Ethics Commission will provide training on the SIA. If you have questions on the SIA or training opportunities, please contact your department’s human resources representative.
