Officers and employees of the Town of Huntington hold their
positions to serve and benefit the public, and not to obtain unwarranted
personal or private gain in the exercise and performance of their
official powers and duties. The Town of Huntington recognizes that,
in furtherance of this fundamental principle, there is a need for
clear and reasonable standards of ethical conduct. This Chapter establishes
those standards.
(A)
"Interest" means a direct or indirect financial or material benefit,
but does not include any benefit arising from the provision or receipt
of any services generally available to the residents or taxpayers
of the Town or an area of the Town, or a lawful class of such residents
or taxpayers. A Town officer or employee is deemed to have an interest
in any private organization when he or she, his or her spouse, or
dependent, is an owner, partner, member, director, officer, employee,
or directly or indirectly owns or controls more than 5% of the organization's
equity or debt, whether in the form of outstanding stock or otherwise.
(B)
"Relative" means a spouse, child, stepchild, parent, stepparent,
grandparent, grandchild, sibling or stepsibling of a Town officer
or employee.
[Amended 1-29-2019 by L.L. No. 4-2019]
(A)
This Chapter applies to all officers and employees of the Town of
Huntington, whether paid or unpaid, including the members of any Town
department, agency, board or commission, and all administrative law
judges employed by the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication.
[Amended 6-15-2021 by L.L. No. 29-2021]
(E)
Article III, Section 29-21 of this Chapter (Applicant Disclosure in Land Use Applications) applies to applicants, petitioners or parties requesting a variance, amendment, change of zoning, approval of a plat, exemption from a plat or official map, license or permit, pursuant to the provisions of any local law, rule or regulation constituting the zoning and planning regulations of the Town.
(F)
The provisions of this Chapter shall supplement all applicable State
and local laws relating to conflicts of interest and municipal ethics
including, but not limited to, Article 18 of the General Municipal
Law and all related rules, regulations, policies and procedures of
the Town of Huntington.
(G)
The termination of an officer's or employee's term of office or employment
with the Town shall not affect the jurisdiction of the Board of Ethics
or the Town Board with respect to the requirements imposed by this
Chapter on the former officer or employee for his or her actions or
interests while a Town officer or employee.
