information acquired by the officer or employee in the course of the officer's or
employee's official duties which has been clearly designated to the officer or employee
as confidential when such confidential designation is warranted because of the status of
the proceedings or the circumstances under which the information was received and
preserving its confidentiality is necessary for the proper conduct of government
business. A public officer or employee shall not disclose or use, without appropriate

performance of the officer's or employee's official duties if the thing or benefit is of
such character as to manifest a substantial and improper influence on the officer or
employee with respect to the officer's or employee's duties.
