“Each year, board members, officers, and key employees review the conflict of interest policy and complete a conflict of interest disclosure statement. Each new covered person must review a copy of the policy and is reminded of the obligation to conform to it. Each covered person must complete a conflict of interest information form identifying any relationships, positions, or circumstances in which the covered person is involved that could create a conflict of interest. If a board member has a conflict of interest on a matter before the board, the covered person discloses all relevant facts to the board, is not permitted to hear the board discussion regarding the matter except to disclose material facts, must not seek to influence board members regarding the matter, and is not permitted to vote on the matter. Board minutes for the meeting reflect the disclosure of the conflict of interest and the fact that the board member was not permitted to discuss or vote on the matter. The board member with a conflict of interest will not be counted as a member for the purposes of establishing a quorum of the board. If a board member is not certain whether or not a conflict of interest exists, then the board member must disclose all relevant facts to the board and the board makes a determination of whether or not a conflict exists.”
