“Officers and the board of directors are annually required to sign a conflict of interest statement and disclose interests that could give rise to conflict. If a dcpca director is an officer or director of or holds a similar position with or has a financial interest in another entity and participates or is present at a meeting of the board of directors where dcpca authorizes a contract or transaction with such other entity, the director: (1) discloses the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction to the board of directors or ensures that such facts are known to the directors entitled to vote thereon; and (2) recuse himself/herself from discussion, lobbying, and voting on the matter. Any vote on the contract or transaction must be approved by the board of directors by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum. The minutes of meetings at which such votes are taken record the disclosure, recusal and rationale for approval.”
