Title
A substitute charter ordinance relating to an affidavit of no interest requirement for city officers and employes provided by bonding or insurance companies.
Sections
3-29-1 am
Analysis
Current charter provisions prohibit any city officer or employe from receiving any premium, commission, fee or other thing of value on account of the sale or furnishing of any bond, undertaking, policy of insurance, or contract of indemnity, guaranty or suretyship to the city or to any of its officers, boards or commissions or to any person, firm or corporation in connection with any contract to which the city or any of its officers, boards or commissions may be a party of interest. In addition, the attorney in fact or agent of any bonding or insurance company furnishing any bond, undertaking, policy of insurance or contract of indemnity, guaranty or suretyship is required to sign and furnish an affidavit setting forth that no city official or employe has any interest, directly or indirectly, or is receiving any premium, commission, fee or other thing of value on account of the sale or furnishing of the bond, undertaking, policy of insurance or contract of indemnity, guaranty or suretyship to the city. This charter ordinance repeals the requirement that an affidavit of no interest be provided by a bonding or insurance company.
