Decision Question
Should Firm A actively market its city engineer appointment to prospective private developer clients by advertising the cost savings that flow from its inspection authority, or refrain from using its public position as a commercial differentiator?
Focus
Firm A: Marketing Exploitation of City Engineer Position to Solicit Private Developer Clients
Option1
Immediately discontinue all advertising or solicitation that references Firm A's city engineer appointment as a source of cost savings or competitive advantage for prospective private developer clients, obtaining private engagements only through channels that do not exploit the public position.
Option2
Continue marketing the cost-savings advantage to prospective developer clients while proactively disclosing each concurrent developer engagement to the city and obtaining formal city consent, on the theory that transparency and consent cure any conflict arising from the marketing conduct.
Option3
Reframe marketing communications to emphasize genuine economies of scale and process efficiencies from consolidated engineering services without explicitly referencing the city inspection appointment, relying on BER 74-2's tolerance of dual municipal and private roles in small municipalities as authorization for informing the market of real service advantages.
