Last week, during the County Commissioners’ meeting, Commissioner Jesse Bohannon gave the other two commissioners an update on two ordinances he had proposed a few months ago. The ordinances address Conflict of Interest and Financial Transparency for those receiving county funds.
Bohannon said he’s done additional research and shared sample ordinances from other municipalities on Conflict of Interest and Financial Transparency with the commissioners, president, and vice-president of the County Council, and the two attorneys. He said he hopes to move forward with the two ordinances and have an official presentation yet this year.
Bohannon said Fair Haven, Connecticut, has an excellent Conflict of Interest policy for public officials. He also said that, with the help of AI, he was able to find more information, including four additional types of Conflicts of Interest beyond what is covered in the criminal conflict of interest.
The other conflicts of interest are direct financial conflicts, indirect financial conflicts, direct personal conflicts, and indirect personal conflicts. He said the policy also lays out recusal standards that would be valuable to include in Marshall County’s policy.
