They are not to interfere with city work and are to be <br />completed as quickly as possible. Please refer to the cell phone policy for information on use of <br />cellular phones. (See Appendix C for additional information) <br /> <br />Section 2.08 Political Activity <br />City employees have the right to express their views and to pursue legitimate involvement in the <br />political system. However, no city employee will directly or indirectly, during hours of employment, <br />solicit or receive funds for political purposes. Further, any political activity in the workplace must be <br />pre-approved by the city to avoid any conflict of interest or perception of bias such as using authority <br />or political influence to compel another employee to apply for or become a member in a political <br />organization. <br /> <br />Section 2.09 Smoking <br />The city of Orono observes and supports the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act. All city buildings and <br />vehicles, in their entirety, shall be designated as tobacco free, meaning that smoking in any form <br />through the use of tobacco or canabinoid products such as pipes, cigars, and cigarettes or “vaping” <br />with e-cigarettes is prohibited while in a city facility or vehicle. <br /> <br />Smoking of any kind, including pipes, cigars, cigarettes, vaping with e-cigarettes, and the use of <br />chewing tobacco, is prohibited for employees while on duty. Employees 21 and over are allowed to <br />smoke only during their breaks and lunch, and only in areas designated for that purpose. <br />
