To maintain high morale and professional working relationships among employees, the City has established guidelines for employment of relatives.

Within any department, employees related by blood or marriage may not perform similar duties or responsibilities, report to the same immediate supervisor, or supervise or be supervised by each other.

The employment of relatives in different departments is prohibited when, in the opinion of the City Council or City Manager, potential problems of supervision, safety, security, morale or potential conflicts of interest exist.
