2.36.390 Employee responsibilities and benefits—Outside employment.
A. City employees filling line-item positions may engage in part-time or occasional outside employment outside of their regular working hours if such employment is approved in advance by the city administrative officer or delegated representative, or in the case of council appointees, by the council. The city administrative officer may establish a minimum time period worked on such outside employment and a minimum number of hours of outside work per week before requiring advance written approval.
B. “Incompatible employment” includes, but is not limited to:
1. Work which tends to impair mental or physical capacity to perform city duties efficiently and effectively;
2. Work which takes the employee’s time and attention during his/her official working hours;
3. Activities which create a conflict of responsibility or duty between the employee’s city work responsibility and the proposed outside employment. This includes work which would, by its nature, tend to reduce the ability of the employee to exercise completely independent and unfettered judgment with respect to effectively discharging city work responsibility.
4. Employment in another city department for full-time city employees.
C. Any employee who engages in employment outside regular working hours shall be subject to perform regular city duties first (Prior code § 2708.2)
