The City supports employees to perform their duties without undue distractions. Therefore, the following guidelines apply to soliciting in the workplace: except for authorized City programs, such as participation in United Way, and with prior approval, individuals not employed by the City are not permitted to enter City premises at any time to solicit survey, petition or distribute literature. This restriction includes charity solicitors, salespersons, and questionnaire surveys, union organizers of any form of solicitation or distribution. Employees may only approach each other regarding reasonable forms of solicitation during non-work time (including before and after the start of all involved employee work periods, and during breaks and meal period) and in non-work areas. Any other solicitation requires approval of the City Manager.
