Trustee proposes wording changes to Conflict of Interest policy to clarify 'Trustee' role
Summary
Trustee Kelly Ryan recommended changing references from 'Director' to 'Trustee' in the Conflict of Interest/Code of Ethics and suggested rolling out the policy with situational examples to aid understanding.
Trustee Kelly Ryan proposed amending the Conflict of Interest Policy / Code of Ethics to replace references to 'Director' with 'Trustee' so the language matches local governance structures. She also suggested the Village provide situational examples when rolling out the policy to ensure trustees and board members understand how it applies in practice.
The recommendation was a discussion item during the council’s Unfinished Business; no formal vote was recorded at the work session. The change is procedural wording intended to reduce ambiguity and improve the policy rollout and training.
