The document is a Code of Ordinances for the city of Hollywood, Florida. It contains various sections and provisions related to the conduct of public officers and employees, nepotism in employment, and a code of ethics for planning board members. The document states that public officers and employees are required to obtain review, approval, permits, permission, or licenses from the city or its departments or agencies for conducting their business or profession if they have a financial interest. However, this requirement does not apply if the officer or employee does not have any position or authority with the city that can materially influence or affect the decision-making process. The document also includes a section on the restriction of employment of relatives, stating that relatives of public officers or employees can only be hired by the city if they rank among the top three available candidates on the certified eligibility list. The City Manager or City Attorney has the discretion to make the final decision. Furthermore, the document mentions that the penalty provisions contained in FS. § 112.317 will be applicable to the city's nepotism ordinance. It also provides exemptions for existing employees who have relationships that would otherwise prohibit their employment, but they will be subject to other provisions. Additionally, the document includes a code of ethics for planning board members. It states that planning board members should abstain from participating in any matter where they have a conflict of interest, exercise fair and independent judgment, respect the rights of all individuals, disclose conflicts of interest, and not misrepresent facts or participate in matters unless they are capable of providing thorough and diligent service. The document concludes with a penalty provision and a disclaimer stating that the posted documents may not reflect the most current legislation and should not be relied upon as the definitive authority. The official printed copy of the Code of Ordinances should be consulted for accurate information.
