SUBJECT:
USE OF BULLETIN BOARDS TO ADVERTISE PRIVATE BUSINESS
OPERATED BY CITY EMPLOYEE - LEGAL OPINION 112/2-83
FROM:
ISSUE:
Maya City employee who also operates his own business be permitted
to place his business cards on the bulletin boards in the lobby area
(near vending machines) and/or on the bulletin board in the City
Employee Lounge?
CONCLUSION:
Employees may post information which may be useful or interesting to
~other employees on the bulletin board in the employee lounge, so a
business card of another employee may appropriately be placed there.
The other bulletin boards are exclusively for City business and no
personal business cards should appear there.
APPLICABLE AUTHORITY:
There are no written directives governing this situation, but the
above conclusion has been the City Managers' policy in the cities of
Miami and Hollywood.
ANALYSIS:
This policy seems equitable in that employees are free to exchange
information in their own lounge, but not to interfere with the
publication of City notices on City bulletin boards.
