A member of a board, commission, council, or committee who receives no compensation other than a per diem allowance or necessary and reasonable expenses, a Town official, or an employee may, prior to acting in a manner which may impinge on their fiduciary duty and the public trust, disclose the nature of their private interest. Such disclosure shall be made in writing to the Town Manager and Town Attorney, listing the amount of their financial interest, if any, the purpose and duration of their services rendered, if any, and the compensation received for the services or such other information as is necessary to describe their interest. If the Board member, Town official, or employee then performs the official act involved, they shall state for the record the fact and summary nature of the interest disclosed at the time of performing the act. Such disclosure shall constitute an affirmative defense to any civil or criminal action or any other sanction. (Ord. No. 2022-06 §2 (Exh. A)).
