§ 130.060. Conflicts of Interest; Generally.

A. 

No elected official shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in any contract with the City, or be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the sale or lease to the City of any land, materials, supplies, equipment, or services, except on behalf of the City as an officer or employee. Any violation of this provision renders the contract, sale or lease void, and any councilmember violating this Subsection thereby forfeits his office or employment, and shall be subject to such additional penalties as may be provided by ordinance and Missouri State law.

B. 

No elected official shall hold any other incompatible public office or hold a position in the City government during his or her term as Alderman or Mayor. Nothing herein prevents elected officials from holding positions as a member of the United States military or a notary public.

C. 

Elected officials are prohibited from either directly or indirectly bidding on or purchasing property owned by the City when the property is being sold at a public sale or auction.

D. 

The Mayor or any member of the Board of Aldermen who has a substantial personal or private interest, as defined by State law, in any bill shall disclose on the records of the Board of Aldermen the nature of his interest and shall disqualify himself from voting on any matters relating to this interest.
