The Program is to assist the City in its operations and not to supplant
any current municipal employees. As such, no loaned employee shall
serve more than 800 hours in any three-hundred-sixty-five-day period.
Further, the position of loaned employee in any City department, board,
commission, or authority is hereby classified as a "special municipal
employee" position, and any person serving as a loaned employee shall
be deemed to be a special municipal employee for the purposes of MGL
c. 268A, the conflict of interest statute, and shall, pursuant
to the statute, owe the City the same duties and be subject to the
same restrictions as other special municipal employees. No loaned
employee shall be assigned or otherwise assume the official responsibility
of any municipal position other than a special municipal employee
position to, either alone or with others, approve, disapprove or otherwise
direct the action of any municipal agency of the City. Notwithstanding
this restriction, a loaned employee may provide professional advice
and counsel concerning such municipal agency action.
