A “ceremonial role” is an act performed at an event by the official as a representative of the official's agency at the request of the holder of the event or function where, for a period of time, the focus of the event is on the act performed by the official. Examples of a ceremonial role include: throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game; cutting a ribbon at an opening; making a presentation of a certificate, proclamation, award, or other item, such as the key to the city. The filing officer of a local jurisdiction may adopt specific policies under this definition that either limit or expand the permissible ceremonial roles for an official in the local jurisdiction. If the local jurisdiction's filing officer does not have policy-making authority, the legislative body may adopt a specific policy. If a separate agency policy is adopted, the policy shall be forwarded to the Commission for posting on the Commission's website.
