Sec. A3-60. - "Revolving door" employee prohibitions are applicable to Board members.¶
(a) A Board member is a "County employee" within the meaning of the Revolving Door Ordinance (Chapter X of Division A25 of this Ordinance Code) and is subject to the provisions of that ordinance except as modified in Paragraph (b). Generally, the Revolving Door Ordinance prohibits a former employee from engaging in paid representation ("lobbying") on any matter within the employee's responsibility for a period of one year after leaving County employment. There is a lifetime ban on lobbying the County on matters in which the employee personally participated.
(b) The prohibition on paid lobbying related to matters under a Board member's official responsibility is extended to a period of four years. The lifetime ban on lobbying is inapplicable to Board members.
