“The governing body of Glacier Valley Transit meets on a formal basis annually to monitor proposed and ongoing transactions for conflicts of interest. In addition to annual meetings, officers of the entity regularly communicate to ensure no transaction is entered into that might benefit the private interest of an officer or director of the organization. Where a financial or other benefit might exist, the interested party may disclose that financial interest and all material facts. The remaining board members decide if a conflict of interest exists. If the remaining board members determine a conflict of interest exists, the governing body imposes a restriction on the person with the conflict such that they are prohibited from participating in the governing body's deliberations in the transaction.”
