7 <br />Section 1. Purpose. <br />The purpose of disclosure of the financial and personal interests by covered persons <br />is to assist covered persons and those persons who appoint, elect, hire, supervise, or <br />advise them identify and avoid conflicts of interest and potential conflicts of interest <br />between the covered person's private interests and the covered person's public duties. It is <br />critical to this process that current and prospective covered persons examine, evaluate, <br />and disclose those personal and financial interests that could be or cause a conflict of <br />interest or potential conflict of interest between the covered person's private interests and <br />the covered person's public duties. Covered persons must take an active, thorough, and <br />conscientious role in the disclosure and review process, including having a complete <br />knowledge of how the covered person's public position or duties might impact the <br />covered person's private interests. Covered persons have an affirmative duty to provide <br />any and all information that a reasonable person would conclude is necessary to carry out <br />the purposes of this Policy and to fully disclose any conflict of interest or potential <br />conflict of interest between the covered person's public and private interests, but the <br />disclosure, review, and evaluation process is not intended to result in the disclosure of <br />unnecessary or irrelevant personal information. <br />Section 2. Statement of economic intent; filing required. <br />(a) Every covered person subject to this Policy who is elected, appointed, or <br />employed, including one appointed to fill a vacancy in elective office, except for public <br />servants included under Article 1, Section 3(24)a whose annual compensation from the <br />County is less than sixty thousand dollars ($60,000), shall file a statement of economic <br />interest with the Clerk to the Orange Board of Commissioners prior to the covered <br />person's initial appointment, election, or employment and no later than March 15th of <br />every year thereafter, except as otherwise filed under subsection (b) of this Section. The <br />requirement for an annual filing under this subsection also shall apply to covered persons <br />whose terms have expired but who continue to serve until the person's replacement is <br />appointed. Once a statement of economic interest is properly completed and filed under <br />this Policy, the statement of economic interest does not need to be supplemented or <br />refiled prior to the next due date set forth in this subsection. <br />(b) A candidate for an elective office subject to this Policy shall file the statement <br />of economic interest at the same place and in the same manner as the written disclosures <br />are required to be filed under Title VII, Chapter 460, 1987 Session Laws. <br />(c) The Clerk to the Orange Board of Commissioners shall issue forms to be used <br />for the statement of economic interest and shall revise the forms from time to time as <br />necessary to carry out the purposes of this Policy. <br />Section 3. Statement of economic interest as public records. <br />The statements of economic interest filed by prospective employees of the County <br />under this Policy are not public records until the prospective employee is appointed or <br />employed by the County. All other statements of economic interest are public records. <br />Section 4. Contents of statement. <br />(a) Any statement of economic interest filed under this Policy shall be on a form <br />prescribed by the County Board of Commissioners and sworn to by the filing person. <br />
