MEMORANDUM
August 20, 1990
TO: Vice Mayor Ken Peterson
FROM: Arthur J~ Saalfield, City Attorney
SUBJECT: VICE MAYORREFERP~L OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE
Please refer the following proposed ordinance to whichever
committee you deem appropriate:
1) OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT.
Background:
Municipal Code Section 2.72.260 currently states
that Public Safety officers may not hold any other
profession, trade, calling or business. This is in
direct conflict with Charter Section (202) 20 which
states they may engage in outside employment.
Therefore, the proposed amendment to Section
2.72.250 is to bring the Municipal Code into
conformance with the Charter.
