§ 2-808. Representing private interest before agencies.
Latest version.
No official or employee shall appear on behalf of private interests before any agency,
except as a matter of public record in a court of law as provided by section 2-809 of this division. Councilmembers may appear on behalf of constituents or in the performance
of public or civic obligations before any agency but only without compensation or
remuneration of any kind. In no instance shall council members appear before the Zoning
Review Board (ZRB) or the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) on behalf of constituents
or in the performance of their public or civic obligations; they may, however, appear
in their own behalf, in relation to their own property interests.
