HomeMy WebLinkAboutA010 - Clerk's Note - conflict of interest in vot CLERK 'S NOTE: 1983 Iowa Code Section 362.6 states that "A measure voted upon
is not invalid by reason of conflict of interest in an officer of a city,
unless the vote of the officer was decisive to passage of the measure. If a
specific majority or unanimous vote of a municipal body is required by
statute, the majority or vote must be computed on the basis of the number of
officers not disqualified by reason of conflict of interest. However, a
majority of all members is required for a quorum. For the purposes of this
section, the statement of an officer that he declines to vote by reason of
conflict of interst is conclusive and must be entered of record. )
