Every member of the Board shall be under the affirmative duty to disclose publicly any personal interest he/she may have in a matter prior to participation in the hearing or decision of such board on the matter in question. Provided, however, that the existence of a personal interest other than direct or indirect financial interest, shall not prevent a member from participating in the hearing or decision of a matter unless a majority of the voting members of the Board feels the member should not participate and further provided that the failure to disclose personal interests, as provided above, shall not invalidate the vote of the members failing to disclose any personal interests nor shall such failure invalidate any decision of the Board as a whole. The willful failure to disclose personal interest shall, however, be cause for removal from the Board. It is the expressed intent of the City that this section be supplementary and complimentary to the provisions set out in the Indiana Code. (Ord. 83-6 § 5 (part), 1983).
