Incompatible offices <br />The statutes do not usually prevent a person from holding two or more <br />governmental positions. However, elected officials and some employees <br />cannot hold more than one position if one of the positions has <br />responsibilities that are incompatible with the other. A public official may <br />also be prohibited from holding more than one position if the different jobs <br />give rise to conflicts between personal interests and official duties. It is <br />important to realize that incompatible offices may occur with either elected <br />or appointed offices. Thus, both elected and appointed officers may need to <br />consider the nature of their offices if they will be serving the public in more <br />than one role. <br /> <br />Incompatible offices are discussed in more detail:in another part of this <br />Handbook, as well as in a League research memo. <br /> <br />IV. <br /> <br />How this chapter applies to <br />home rule charter cities <br /> <br />The section on Appointed officials and employees generally applies only to <br />statutory cities. The sections on Qualifying for office and Incompatible <br />offices generally apply to both statutory and charter cities. <br /> <br />] L\NI)BO¢)K EOI;~ MINNESOTA CITIES <br /> <br />This chapter last revised 12/14/2004 <br /> <br />8-i7 <br /> <br />-77- <br /> <br /> <br />
