The City has an Ethics Hotline, which provides employees and residents a way to anonymously report suspected abuse and wrongdoing by elected officials, members of appointed boards and commissions, City employees, contract employees, vendors, bidders and anyone doing business with the City.

The City encourages employees and residents to call the Ethics Hotline at 1-800-340-3132 whenever wrongdoing is suspected.

Although all calls are accepted, the hotline is not designed for supervisor-employee disagreements, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints, Action Center issues or emergency calls.

Calls to the hotline are anonymous, and a caller can choose how much information to share with the call specialist, though the more information provided, the more helpful it will be. The call specialist, who is a vendor located on the east coast, will assemble the information and email it to the City’s internal auditor for further investigation.

The City wants and needs fellow City employees and residents to improve the ethical environment of City government and reduce corruption. Residents with knowledge of an unethical situation taking place in City government should call the hotline at 1-800-340-3132.
