Council accepts conflict-of-interest form but asks filer to add role and details
Summary
Council approved a conflict-of-interest form for filing but asked the submitter to provide clearer information about their position and the nature of the perceived conflict; members said submitted forms are increasingly incomplete and should list office/role and reasons for conflict.
During new business on Aug. 3 the council reviewed a conflict-of-interest form submitted for consideration. A council member said the form lacked detail identifying the filer's position and the nature of the potential conflict and asked that future filings include a clearer description of the role and the perceived conflict.
The council voted to accept the form for consideration and requested the filer resubmit with full position information and a written explanation of the conflict or the appearance of conflict. A council member said, "These forms are tending to get less and less filled in," and asked staff to follow up to ensure clarity on future submissions.
