Alex Kipp briefly recaps the rules regarding potential misuse of position when a commissioner's outside employer interacts with the commission, distinguishing between participation in open meetings versus non-public meetings and between non-profit and for-profit employers.

He strongly encourages commissioners to seek advice from the COIB whenever questions arise, emphasizing that advice is free, confidential, and easily accessible via phone or the COIB website.

  • Misuse of position rules aim to prevent using CRC role to benefit an associated private entity.
  • Participation rules vary based on employer type (non-profit/for-profit) and meeting type (public/non-public).
  • COIB advice is free and confidential.
  • Contact COIB via phone (212-442-1400) or website (nyc.gov/ethics) for guidance.
