The following disclosure requirements are established to avoid both actual and potential conflict between the private self interest and the public interest of public servants:
(A) Self interest. No public servant, either on his or her behalf or on behalf of any other person, shall have an interest in any business transaction with any public body of the village, unless the person shall first make full public disclosure of the nature of such interest.
(B) Disclosure and disqualification. Whenever the performance of official duties shall require a public servant to deliberate and vote on any matter involving his or her financial or personal interest, that person shall publicly disclose the nature and extent of such interest and is disqualified from participating in the deliberations and voting on the matter.
(C) Dual employment. No public servant shall engage in employment with, or render services for, any person or entity, which has business transactions with any public body of the village, without first making full public disclosure of the nature and extent of the employment or services.
(D) Dual representation. A public servant shall make full public disclosure of business involving the village when attempting to use his or her official position to secure special privileges or exemptions for self or others.
