Council files conflict disclosures for economic development director and street commissioner
Summary
The council received and filed conflict‑of‑interest disclosures for Christie Clark (economic development director) and Cody Landrum (street commissioner). City counsel said the board's role is ministerial — to receive and forward the filings to the state.
The council received conflict‑of‑interest disclosures for two city officials and approved placing them on file. The clerk read the first disclosure, naming Christie Clark and identifying her as the city's economic development director; she noted Clark sometimes performs part‑time work for an auctioneer with family ties. The clerk also read a disclosure involving Cody Landrum, described as the street commissioner and a co‑owner of equipment that might bid on upcoming ERC work.
City counsel reminded members that council action is ministerial: filing the disclosures with the state does not constitute a substantive determination about whether a disqualifying conflict exists. Counsel said, “The board's role of these conflict responses is ministerial. By voting yes, you're simply saying that you've received it.” The council voted to file the disclosures and forward them to the state as required.
