Ethical Commitments. The CITY MANAGER shall not endorse candidates, make financial contributions, sign or circulated petitions, or knowingly participate in fundraising activities for individuals seeking or holding elected office in the CITY, nor seek or accept any persona enrichment or profit derived from confidential information, or holding office, or misuse of public time. The CITY shall support the CITY MANAGER in keeping these commitments by refraining from any order, direction or request that would require the CITY MANAGER to undertake any of the aforementioned activities. Specifically, neither the CITY COUNCIL nor any individual member thereof shall request the CITY MANAGER to endorse any candidate, make any financial contribution, sign or circulate any petition, or participate in any fundraising activities for individuals seeking or holding elected office, nor to handle any matter involving personnel on a basis other than fairness, impartiality, and merit. The CITY MANAGER voluntarily agrees to this and shall not cause provision to formulate any claim against the CITY whatsoever. The CITY MANAGER acknowledges the above is in no way a restriction of her freedom of speech, and if so claimed is deemed immediately invalid.
