An officer on the County Commission, Planning Commission, or other public body of the county who is required by § 30.085 to disclose a conflict of interest shall recuse himself or herself from participating in, commenting on, or voting on the matter in which such conflict exists. If the officer insists on voting, his or her vote shall be recorded in the minutes as an abstention. In determining whether a vote is tied or a matter is adopted, the abstention vote shall be treated as if the member were absent from the meeting.
