The proper operation of 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.
