98-23 In RQO 98-23 the Ethics Commission considered whether Section 2-11.1(q) (two year rule) prevented a former County Police psychologist from treating a patient in private practice within two years of treating that same patient as a police department employee. The Ethics Commission ruled that Section 2-11.1 (q) did not preclude the former County employee from treating the patient because the two year rule "only precludes county employees from working on matters in which they personally and substantially participated as employees if the county is a party to the matter or retains a direct and substantial interest in the matter." The Ethics Commission found that since the county did not have any interest in the matter, the proposed work was not barred by the two year rule. 98-13 In RQO 98-13 the Ethics Commission opined whether the County could accept a plumbing bid from a former employee of the County's Parks and Recreation Department. The former employee had submitted a bid to design restrooms at a County park in which he was previously involved as a plumbing designer for the County. The Ethics Commission found that Section 2- 11.1 (q) (two year rule) prevented the former employee from serving as contractor for the project. The Ethics Commission found that the two year rule "bars former employees from working for anyone other than the county on any project in which they had personal and substantial participation. " 98-11 In RQO 98-11 the Ethics Commission considered whether Section 2-11.1( q) (two year rule) prohibited a former employee of the County's Animal Care and Control Division from providing veterinary services to the County through a County contractor. The Ethics Commission concluded that the two year rule did not prohibit the former County employee from providing veterinary services to the County because he was not "personally and substantially involved" in the County's contract with the contractor when he was a County employee.
