Committee asked whether board ties require abstention; attorney says affiliation 'too remote'
Summary
A committee member asked whether to abstain because 'Ron chef' is slated to be treasurer next week; the committee attorney replied the relationship was too remote and that no financial interest was present because the organization is a nonprofit.
During discussion of the GCDC beer-garden permit, a committee member raised a potential conflict of interest tied to a person referenced in the transcript as "Ron chef," who is described as the treasurer next week. The questioner asked whether that board connection required abstaining from the vote.
The attorney advised the committee that the link was not a disqualifying financial interest. "No, I think that's way too remote," the attorney said. "You don't have to have a financial interest. You don't have a financial interest in them. They're nonprofit." The committee proceeded with the vote after the clarification.
