Advisory Opinion-21-001-Outside Employment Signed
OtherAI Summary
The Scranton Ethics Board issued Advisory Opinion 21-001 on February 16, 2021, in response to a February 9, 2021 request from Paul Kelly, Esquire, solicitor for the Scranton Municipal Recreation Authority and Redevelopment Authority, asking whether he could serve as campaign chairman for a candidate running for City office in the May 2021 primary election. The Board determined that the request fell within its authority under Section 8 of the City of Scranton Code of Ethics to render advisory opinions on conflicts of interest and ethical conduct. The opinion cited Section 6-20(A)(1) of the Ethics Code, which prohibits employees from accepting employment that might reasonably require disclosure of confidential information acquired through their official position, and referenced Section 6-15(B) requiring officials and employees to guard against conflicts of interest. The document appears incomplete, as the final advisory conclusion is cut off mid-page.
