Council accepts conflict disclosure from Councilwoman Henderson over FOP pension link
Summary
Council accepted a conflict-of-interest statement filed by Councilwoman Karen Henderson because her spouse's pension could be affected by the Fraternal Order of Police contract under consideration; the disclosure was placed on file during new business.
Staff reported that, under Indiana law, municipal employees and elected officials must file conflict-of-interest statements when matters on an agenda may affect them. Town staff said Councilperson Karen Henderson filed such a statement because her spouse's retired police officer pension could be affected by the FOP contract being considered.
A councilor moved to accept the disclosure and have it filed. The council recorded the acceptance during new business and the document was placed on file; the transcript records at least one abstention during the related procedural handling.
