A conflict of interest or a <br />potential conflict occurs if a member has a separath, private, or monetary interest, either direct or <br />indirect, in any issue or transaction under consideration. Any member who violates this provision may <br />be subject to removal from the board or commission. <br /> <br />• If an advisory board ar 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 mrrmbers of his/her <br />respective advisory board or commission during the board or commission's public meeting. The <br />member should state the nature of the conflict, detailing that he/she has a separate, private, or <br />monetary interest, either dined or indin3ct, in the issue ar transaction under consideration. The <br />member should then excuse himself/herselffrorn considering and voting on the matter. In cases <br />where an advisory board or commission member declares a conflict ar potential conflict of interest, the <br />member shall excuse himselflherself from the board table/voting area until ail 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 />irrterpretatian 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 />questions and interpretations and may provide a recommendation on whether or not the advisory <br />board or commission member should excuse himself/herselffrorn voting. The member may request <br />that the staff respond in writing. Staff may contact the County Manager for any additional assistance. <br />If appointed, I agree to attend athree-hour orientation which will give an overview of how Orange County <br />Government operates and its relationship to other governmental units. <br />Stgnature <br />ot,w. <br />,s/. <br />Date <br />YOLOTSK3:APPLCTNj N:~_YOLAPPL.DOC <br />
