“The conflict of interest policy, adopted december 12, 2017, requires all board and committee members to annually confirm in writing that they have read and understand the policy. They are also required to disclose all businesses or other organizations, of which they or a member of their family are an officer, member, owner or employee, or for which the member or related party acts as an agent, or from which the member, leader or related party receives compensation or remuneration of any sort, where such business or organization competes with kclc or with which kclc may reasonably in future enter into a relationship or conduct a transaction. The policy also describes how the board chair and other members are to disclose a potential conflict of interest when issues are discussed or voted on, including a requirement to recuse themselves from the meeting and during the discussion and vote. The policy also directs the board or committee to seek alternatives to the proposed transaction to avoid the potential conflict, unless a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not feasible in the circumstances. Documentation of such discussions and votes is to be maintained in corporate records. The policy also directs any board or committee member, who has reasonable cause to believe that a person has failed to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, to inform such person of the basis for that belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and conducting such further investigation as may be warranted, the board or committee determines that the member has, in fact, failed to disclose as required by policy, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.”
