SEC. 3.1-310. LIBRARY, PUBLIC.
§ 3.1-310
Library Department designated positions must disclose all investments, business positions, and income from entities that provide services, supplies, materials, machinery, or equipment to the Public Library Department. The section lists 19 positions (from Commissioners to Racial Equity Manager) subject to Category 2 disclosure requirements.
Certain San Francisco Library Department employees and officials must report their financial interests. Specifically, they must tell the city about any money they make or investments they own in companies that do business with the Library—whether those companies provide services, supplies, equipment, or anything else the Library needs. The rule applies to 19 different positions, including the City Librarian, department managers, and various chiefs and directors.
- Complex:The section combines a general disclosure rule with a detailed two-part table listing positions and categories, making it harder to parse the actual requirements without cross-referencing the disclosure categories defined elsewhere in the Code.
- Controversial:Financial disclosure requirements and conflict-of-interest rules are subjects on which reasonable people may disagree about scope, burden on employees, and enforcement.
