There was discussion regarding the issue of conflict of interest of Board members. The Board has
adopted Roberts Rules of Order
rega.rding parliamentary procedure. Robert's Rules issues the following guidelines regarding conflict of interest:
The general principle in parliamentary law is that when a member has a" conflict of interest,"he or she does not
enter into the discussion or vote on the matter. However, there is no rule that says the member has to leave the room
when others are discussing the issue.
Members are cautioned against entering the discussion in which said member has a conflict o£
interest. Entering the discussion
is a violation of Roberts parliamentary procedure.
The Board heard and decided appeals as found in the Board of Review Record for July 18, 2006.
Jerry Duchon moved to adjnurn at 1:30 p. Midge seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
