The proper operation of municipal government requires that public
officials and employees be independent, impartial and responsible
to the people; that government decisions and policy be made in the
proper channels of the governmental structure; that public office
not be used for personal gain; and that the public have confidence
in the integrity of its government. In recognition of these goals,
there is hereby established a procedure for disclosure by certain
officials and employees of private financial or other interests in
matters affecting the City.
