§ 36-208. Gratuities and kickbacks.

(a)

Town employees and members of their families shall not accept or solicit gifts or gratuities offered because of the employee's duties, functions or responsibilities as an employee of the town. This does not pertain to gifts of a general commercial advertising nature having a small value (less than $25.00) or food or drink consumed by the employee at the time of receipt at an appropriate social or town business.

(b)

It is unethical for any payment, gratuity or offer of employment to be made by or on behalf of a subcontractor under a contract to the prime contractor or higher tier subcontractor or any person associated therewith as an inducement for the award of a subcontract or order.
