THE BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
NEPOTISM - APPOINTMENT OF SPOUSE OR RELATIVES.

Bakersfield as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 2.72.130 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code is
hereby amended to read as follows:
2.72.130
Nepotism - Appointment of
spouse or relative.
The employment of relatives tends to cause problems in.
sensitive areas of interdepartmental and intradepartmental rela-
tionships, and can create undesirable results in connection with
evaluation, performance and discipline. Because the problem of
favoritism, whether real or imagined, exists and has a harmful
effect upon employee morale and efficiency:
Except as provided by paragraph four (4), there
shall be no appointments, transfers or promotions
to a position within the City or to a supervisory
relationship either direct or indirect of any
person who is a relative by marriage or by blood
within the third degree of a permanent or probation-
ary City employee, or of any person who lives in the
same household as any other City employee.
Except as provided by paragraph four (4), there shall
be no appointments to a salaried position within the
city of a relative by marriage or blood within the
third degree of any member of the city council, boards,
or commissions of the city.
In the event that a permanent or probationary employee
moves into the same household with or gets married to
another permanent or probationary employee, and each
wish to remain employed with the City, the Civil
Service Commission shall review the matter on an indi-
vidual basis and determine, as provided in paragraph
four (4) whether both persons may remain as employees
of the City.
Appointments, transfers or promotions of persons who
are related as provided above may be allowed if the
appropriate civil service board determines that a
conflict does not and will not exist.
These provisions do not affect appointments, transfers,
or promotions made prior to the adoption of these
provisions.
SECTION 2.
This ordinance shall be posted in accordance with the
City Charter provisions and shall become effective thirty (30)
days from and after the date of its passage.
