COIB Settlements Announced

 

The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board (the “Board”) announces two settlements.

Misuse of City Time. A Sanitation Worker at the New York City Department of Sanitation (“DSNY”) also worked for a private delivery company. On 80 days, he reported working simultaneously at DSNY and at the delivery company, resulting in 67 hours and 52 minutes of overlapping time. To resolve his misuse of City time, the now-former Sanitation Worker agreed to pay a $3,500 fine. The Disposition is attached as “COIB Disposition (DSNY).”

 

Post-Employment Appearance Ban. A former Assistant Commissioner for the Bureau of Maternal, Infant & Reproductive Health at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (“DOHMH”) communicated on two occasions with her former agency on behalf of her new employer, the Good+ Foundation, within two months of leaving City service. In doing so, she violated the post-employment appearance ban, which prohibits most public servants from communicating, for compensation, with their former City agency for one year after leaving City service. To resolve her violations, the former Assistant Commissioner agreed to pay a $1,200 fine. The Disposition is attached as “COIB Disposition (DOHMH).”
