A city officer, employee or advisory board member shall disclose the existence of any substantial interest in a business entity or real property involved in any decision pending before such officer, employee or advisory board member, or the body of which he is a member. To comply with this paragraph, a city officer or advisory board member shall, prior to any discussion or determination of the matter, either file and affidavit of disclosure as required by Section 171.004 of the Texas Local Government Code or, if not so required, shall publicly disclose in the official records of the body or of the city secretary the nature of the interest. To comply with this paragraph, a city employee shall notify his or her superior in writing of the nature of any substantial interest he may have in a business entity or real property which would be affected by an exercise of discretionary authority by the city employee and such superior shall assign the matter to another employee. SECTION 5. ENFORCEMENT The City Council shall have the primary responsibility for the enforcement of this code. The City Council may direct the city attorney to investigate or prosecute any apparent violation of the code or it may employ or appoint any qualified 12 attorney to investigate or prosecute any violation or series of violations of this code by one or more persons. At the direction of the City Council, the city attorney shall have the power to investigate any complaint, to initiate any suit, and to prosecute any action on behalf of the city where such action is appropriate. Any person who believes that a violation of any portion of the code has occurred may file a complaint with the City Council who may then proceed as provided in paragraph A above. However, nothing in this code shall be construed to prevent complainants from instituting direct legal action through the appropriate judicial authority. SECTION 6. ADVISORY OPINIONS Where any officer, employee or advisory board member has a doubt as to the applicability of any provision of this code to a particular situation, or as to the definition of terms used herein, he may apply to the city attorney for an advisory opinion. The officer, employee or advisory board member shall have the opportunity to present his or her interpretation of the facts at issue and of the applicability of provisions of the code before such advisory opinion is made. Until amended or revoked, any advisory opinion shall be binding on the city, the City Council, and the city attorney in any subsequent actions concerning the public officer, employee or advisory board member who sought the opinion and acted on it in good faith, unless material facts were omitted or misstated in the request for the advisory opinion. Such opinion shall not be binding in any action initiated by any private citizen. 13 SECTION 7. PENALTIES; FORFEITED POSITION; EXEMPTIONS; INJUNCTIONS A. Except where otherwise provided by state law, it is not the intent of this code that violations thereof be subject to criminal penalties. B. Whenever the City Council has determined that any officer, employee or advisory board member has violated any provision of this code, such officer, employee or advisory board member shall be subject to discipline, including forfeiture of his or her office or position. Nothing in this ordinance shall be construed to prohibit such officer, employee or advisory board member from being re-elected, reappointed or otherwise rehired to any position forfeited under the provisions of this code. C. The City Council may exempt from the provisions of this code any conduct found to constitute a violation by an officer, employee or advisory board member if it finds that the enfomement of this code with respect to such conduct is not in the public interest. D. Any contract or transaction which was the subject of an official act or action of the city in which there is an interest prohibited by this code, or which involved the violation of a provision of this code, shall be voidable at the option of the City Council. E. At the discretion of the City Council, the city attorney shall have the power, where a violation of the provisions of this code is threatened or has occurred, to bring a civil action or proceeding, at law or in equity, for a judgment enjoining any violation of the provisions of this code or requiring the relinquishment of any prohibited interest or the voiding of any such contract or transaction, taking into c:~wp51 \oral&res\ethic& 635/kb 14 account the interests of the city and any third persons who may be injured thereby. Where the City Council determines that the public interest may best be served by not voiding a contract or transaction entered into in violation of this code, such contract or transaction may be enforced and an action or proceeding may be brought against any officer, employee or advisory board member found in violation of provisions of this code for damages, not to exceed twice the damages suffered by the city or twice the profit or gain realized by the officer, employee or advisory board member, whichever is greater. SECTION 8. DISTRIBUTION OF CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT The city secretary shall cause a copy of this code of ethics and conduct to be distributed to every, officer, employee and advisory board member of the city within thirty (30) days after enactment of this code.

SECTION 11. The City Secretary of the City of Southlake is hereby authorized to publish this ordinance in book or pamphlet form for general distribution among the public, and the operative provisions of this ordinance as so published shall be admissible in evidence in all courts without further proof than the production thereof.
