A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER READOPTING PROCEDURE TO DISCLOSE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

City Manager Gipson reported that in 1991, the Missouri General Assembly adopted the ethics/personal financial disclosure law, which affects municipalities with an annual operating budget in excess of $1 million. The ethics legislation allowed political subdivisions to establish their own method of disclosing potential conflicts of interest and substantial interests. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 105.485 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, on August 13, 1991, the City adopted by ordinance its own simplified personal financial disclosure requirements. According to Section 105.485.4, RSMo., the Missouri Ethics Commission requires each affected municipality to readopt the personal financial disclosure ordinance in an open meeting biennially by September 15th. Recommendation is to approve the resolution readopting the City of Clayton’s procedure to disclose potential conflicts of interest and substantial interests for certain municipal officials.
