[Ord. #81-013; 1958 Code § 2.22-10]
a.
Any relative within the third degree, whether a relative by blood
or marriage of any Councilmember, Department Head or Assistant Department
Head, shall not be appointed to any position, whether full-time or
part-time, within City service.
For the purposes of this section a relationship within the third
degree includes all relatives up to and including great-grandchildren,
nephews, nieces, uncles and aunts.
b.
Two (2) persons who are married shall not be employed within the
same department in the City. If two (2) employees become married while
both are employed in the same department in the City, it shall be
necessary for one of the employees to transfer to a different department
of the City, provided an appropriate vacancy exists. In the event
there is no such vacancy and a transfer cannot be effected within
one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the date of marriage,
termination of one (1) of the employees is mandatory.
c.
This section shall not affect any of the heretofore mentioned relatives
who are currently employed by the City at the time of adoption of
this section. It is not the intention of this section to terminate
any employee or to prohibit promotion of any employee or interfere
with the transfer of an employee of the City whose relative, whether
by blood or marriage, within the third degree, becomes a Councilmember,
Department Head or Assistant Department Head.
