A conflict of <br /> interest or a potential conflict occurs if a member has a separate, private, or monetary interest, either <br /> direct or indirect, in any issue or transaction under consideration. Any member who violates this <br /> provision may be subject to removal from the board or commission. <br /> If an advisory board or commission member believes he/she has a conflict or potential conflict of <br /> Interest on a particular issue, then that member should state this belief to the other members of <br /> his/her respective advisory board or commission during the board or commission's public meeting. <br /> The member should state the nature of the conflict, detailing that he/she has a separate, private, or <br /> monetary interest, either direct or indirect, in the issue or transaction under consideration. The <br /> member should then excuse himself/herself from considering and voting on the matter. In cases <br /> where an advisory board or commission member declares a conflict or potential conflict of interest, <br /> the member shall excuse himself/herself from the board table/voting area until all discussion, <br /> consideration, and voting is completed on the matter in question. <br /> Any advisory board or commission member having questions or needing assistance regarding the <br /> interpretation of these ethics guidelines or other conflict of interest matters should contact the <br /> administrative staff for the respective board or commission. Staff will assist the member with <br /> question's and interpretations and may provide a recommendation on whether or not the advisory <br /> board or commission member should excuse himself/herself from voting. The member may request <br /> that the staff respond in writing. Staff may contact the County Manager for any additional <br /> assistance. <br /> If appointed, I agree to attend a three-hour orientation which will give an overview of how Orange County <br /> Government operates and its relationship to other governmental units. <br /> P Lbz& <br /> Sig ature Date <br /> vOLDW:APPLM; H:VNOUM.MC <br />
