Such disclosure is documented in the minutes of the meeting. A person who has a conflict of interest does not participate in or permitted to hear the board's or committee's discussion of the matter except to disclose material facts and to respond to questions. Such person may not attempt to exert his or her personal influence with respect to the matter, either at or outside the meeting. A person who has a conflict of interest with respect to a contract or transaction that will be voted on at a meeting shall not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum for purposes of the vote. The person having a conflict of interest may not vote on the contract or transaction and is not allowed not be present in the meeting room when the vote is taken, unless the vote is by secret ballot. Such person's ineligibility to vote is documented in the minutes of the meeting.
