(A) Faithful attendance at meetings of the Board and conscientious performance of the duties required of members of the Board shall be considered a prerequisite for continuing membership on the Board.
(B) No board member shall take part in the hearing, consideration, or determination of any case in which he is personally or financially interested.

A Board member shall not have a "personal interest" in a case when it involves a member of his immediate family (i.e., parent, spouse, or child).
(C) No Board member shall discuss any case with any parties thereto prior to the public hearing on that case, provided, however, that members may receive and/or seek information pertaining to the case from the Watershed Administrator or any other member of the Board, its secretary or clerk prior to the hearing.
(D) Members of the Board shall not express individual opinions on the proper judgement of any case prior to its determination on that case.
(E) No Board member shall vote on any matter that decides an application or appeal unless he had attended the public hearing on that application or appeal.
