2.16.720 Conflict disclosure and disqualification because of personal interest.
A. Disqualifying Personal Interest. Whenever the performance of an employee’s, officer’s, or volunteer’s official duty shall require any governmental action on any matter involving the employee’s, officer’s, or volunteer’s financial, professional or personal interests, and it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have an individualized material effect on such interest, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, the public servant or volunteer public servant shall disclose such matter in writing as follows:
1. In the case of the mayor, to the city council;
2. In the case of the council members, to the mayor and the city council;
3. In all other cases, to the city manager and to the members of the body, if any, of which the employee, officer, or volunteer is a member.
The disclosure shall be made in the manner prescribed in this chapter and shall identify the nature and extent of such interests.
B. Recusal. The employee, officer, or volunteer shall disqualify and recuse himself or herself from participating in any deliberation on any matter requiring disclosure, as well as from voting on such matter.
