TO OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT FOR CERTAIN CITY
EMPLOYEES, AMENDING CHAPTER 6 OF THE
MONTICELLO CITY CODE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO ORDAINS:
Section 1. Findings. The City Council makes the following findings:
1. There are certain positions with the City that require the employee occupying the
position to provide substantial input into the formation of the City's policies and administrative
procedures, exercise professional judgment and discretion in the performance of his or her
duties, and have significant day to day contact with the general public, development community,
and individuals doing business with the City. Those positions are: City Administrator, Deputy
City Administrator, Community Development Director, Economic Development Director, Public
Works Director, Chief Building Official and City Engineer.
2. It is in the best interest of the City and the citizens of Monticello, and within the
reasonable expectation of the City as an employer, that the persons occupying such positions
have as their professional focus on an ongoing day to day basis the performance of their duties
for the City of Monticello.
3. Person occupying the listed positions should not be performing the same or
substantially similar duties on an ongoing basis for another local governmental unit.
4. The performance of essentially the same duties for another local governmental
unit has a significant potential to detract from the employee's focus on the performance of his or
her duties for the City of Monticello, cause conflicts of various types to occur and create
confusion and negative perceptions in the minds of the public, development community, and
individuals doing business with the City.
5. It is not the intent of the City Council to in any way restrict an employee
occupying one of the listed positions from engaging in any activity on the employee's own time
not involving the performance of the same or substantially similar duties for another local
governmental unit.
