Body
This Ordinance amends Section 2-61 related to the disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. The current code provision does not specify at what point in time the Mayor or a Councilmember should declare a conflict in a matter before the Council. This ordinance amends the code provision to specify that disclosure is required to occur prior to any participation in the matter by the Mayor or Councilmember at either the committee or council level whichever comes first.
