Have any permitting staff out there ever received gifts, e.g., from appreciative permittees? How does your office handle this situation?
Me and a coworker recently each received anonymous $50 Visa gift cards with unsigned thank you/greeting cards. Our Office of Counsel thinks we might be able to accept them as an organization and use the money for our annual Engineer Day (i.e., company picnic) but has been slow to research the issue and advise us. We know we can't personally keep the money but would prefer the funds be put to some general beneficial use rather than destroyed.
What happens with gifts in your office? Would the fact that a gift is anonymous affect how your office deals with it?
