WEDNER LAWSIKIA J. HODGES GABY YOUNG PAIGE HOBBS JOHNSTON **Board Certified in City, County and Local Government Law June 1, 2015 Dear Elected Officials: Congratulations on your recent election and welcome to the 2015 City of Jacksonville Orientation and Ethics Training Program. Since its formation almost 50 years ago, Jacksonville’s consolidated government has provided opportunities and advantages to its citizens and elected officials not found in traditional city and county governments around the state. Jacksonville is the only true consolidated form of local government in Florida. Even Miami and Miami-Dade County operate under a two-tier government program. Our goal is to give you a deeper understanding of Jacksonville’s governmental structure and your role in making it work. This program includes presentations and materials on Jacksonville’s consolidated government, budget and appropriation processes, municipal finance, economic development, eminent domain, procurement, labor and employment law, land use and quasi-judicial proceedings, and sovereign immunity. The City of Jacksonville has also been a pioneer in its adoption of a comprehensive Ethics Code. I am pleased to have the Office of General Counsel provide, as required by our City Charter, training in this very important area in conjunction with the Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight. Topics in this area include Sunshine Law, Public Records Law, Jacksonville’s Ethics Code, and State Ethics Laws including financial and gift disclosure requirements, voting conflicts and prohibited relationships. Enclosed are extensive written materials on the various topics covered during the program. We hope you will find these materials to be informative and useful throughout your term in office. Of course, questions will arise which are not fully answered by today’s program and written materials. When they do, we welcome the opportunity to be of further assistance to you. The Office of General Counsel is your law firm and we are here to answer your legal questions. Sincerely, Jason R.

  • Homo Reciprocans: Survey Evidence on Behavioural Outcomes*
    The Economic Journal, 119 (March), 592–612. Ó The Author(s). Journal compilation Ó Royal Economic Society 2009. Published by Blackwell Publishing, 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK and 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA. HOMO RECIPROCANS: SURVEY EVIDENCE ON BEHAVIOURAL OUTCOMES* Thomas Dohmen, Armin Falk, David Huffman and Uwe Sunde This article complements the experimental literature that has shown the importance of reciprocity for behaviour in stylised labour markets or other decision settings. We use individual measures of reciprocal inclinations in a large, representative survey and relate reciprocity to real world labour market behaviour and life outcomes. We find that reciprocity matters and that the way in which it matters is very much in line with the experimental evidence. In particular, positive reciprocity is associated with receiving higher wages and working harder. Negatively reciprocal inclinations tend to reduce effort. Negative reciprocity increases the likelihood of being unemployed. Reciprocity is an in-kind response to friendly or hostile acts. Homo economicus would never engage in reciprocal behaviour, where it does not advance material self-interest. An alternative model is homo reciprocans, for whom reciprocal behaviour is driven by reciprocal motivations: direct utility value is placed on rewarding or punishing (Rabin, 1993; Falk and Fischbacher, 2006). Conceptually, one can distinguish between positive reciprocity, the degree to which an individual rewards kind actions, and negative reci- procity, the extent to which the individual punishes unkind actions. Positive reciprocity has been demonstrated in experimental settings where contracts are incomplete and workers reciprocate generous wages with high effort, even though there is no way to enforce contracts (Fehr et al., 1993; Brown et al., 2004).

  • When Reciprocity Becomes Back-Scratching: an Economic Inquiry
    When reciprocity becomes back-scratching: An economic inquiry Cameron K Murray M.Sci. (Business), B.Sci. (Property Economics) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Economics Abstract This thesis reports four studies of a particular type of cooperation where the formation of coor- dinated groups through favour exchanges benefits the connected few at the expense of the many. This process is labelled back-scratching, and is a common feature of political decision-making where institutional powers allow for a large amount of discretion and the imposition of external- ities in situations where property rights are not well-defined. Chapter 1 introduces the concept of back-scratching in as a coordination game with negative externalities, providing a common framework within which to incorporate the studies that follow. The first study in Chapter 2 uses a natural experiment to quantify the gains from back-scratching in political decisions about value-enhancing land zoning. The effectiveness of a variety meth- ods used to support implicit favouritism are examined, including political donations, employing professional lobbyists, and investing in relationships. Using micro-level relationship data from multiple sources, characteristics of landowners of comparable sites inside and outside rezoned areas are compared. `Connected' landowners owned 75% of land inside rezoned areas, and only 12% outside, and captured $410 million in value gains, indicating a trade in favours amongst con- nected insiders. Marginal gains to all landowners of connections in our sample were $190 million. Engaging a professional lobbyist appears to be a substitute for having one's own connections.

  • Laser Interferometer and Reciprocity Calibration of Accelerometers Using the NIST Super Shaker
    Submitted to: Third Inter. Conference on Vibration Measurements by Laser Techniques: Advances and Applications, June 16-19, Ancona, Italy. Laser Interferometer and Reciprocity Calibration of Accelerometers Using the NIST Super Shaker Bev Payne National Institute of Standards and Technology Automated Production Technology Division Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 Abstract The development of the NIST Super Shaker permits calibration of accelerometers by two independent and absolute methods on the same shaker. Minimizing the uncertainty of reciprocity calibrations imposes strin- gent requirements for distortion and cross-axis motion. Laser interferometer calibrations require very low coupling between the shaker and the interferometer components. The design of the Super Shaker provides for very low distortion and cross-motion with very low mechanical coupling between the shaker and opti- cal components. The shaker is equipped with dual coils and two retractable magnets to provide for reci- procity measurements without attaching a driving shaker. These features enhance the convenience with which the Super Shaker can be used to perform both reciprocity and laser interferometer calibrations. This paper describes the shaker and calibration system and gives a comparison of calibration results from the two methods. Keywords: accelerometers, calibration, reciprocity, laser interferometer, uncertainty, shakers, exciters. 1. Introduction A new Super Shaker system for calibration of accelerometers at NIST was designed in 1993, and its initial testing was finished in 19951. A principal goal of this design is to reduce the uncertainties of accelerometer calibrations. This paper gives the results of additional testing and the implementation of two absolute calibration methods on the Super Shaker. The fringe-counting method uses the wavelength of a He-Ne laser light as a reference standard and the reciprocity method uses a set of standard masses as a reference standard.
