SEC. 3.1-109. DELEGATED DEPARTMENTAL PURCHASER (PROP Q) INITIATORS AND APPROVERS.
§ 3.1-109
City employees designated as Delegated Departmental Purchase Initiators or Approvers under Proposition Q must disclose all investments, business positions, income, and gifts involving any business entity that does or has done business with their department subject to Prop Q rules during the reporting period.
If your city department has named you as someone who starts or approves purchases under Proposition Q rules, you must report to the city: any money you have invested in companies that do business with your department, any jobs or positions you hold in those companies, and any income or gifts you received from them. You need to report these things for any company that did business with your department during the time period covered by your disclosure.
- Complex:The rule relies heavily on external reference to Proposition Q (from 1993) and undefined departmental designation processes, making it difficult for a reader to fully understand without additional context.
- Controversial:Disclosure requirements for public officials and employees can be contentious; reasonable people disagree about how stringent such rules should be and how they affect public service recruitment.
