Can a City employee engage in consulting work, based in part on the expertise of their City job, as part of a contract to provide services to another city?
Yes. To the extent, however, the outside employer ever seeks official action from the City employee or the employee can take official action that affects the outside employer, conflicts of interest issues may arise.
