(A) The Village Council may remove a member of the Planning Commission for misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance in office upon written charges and after a public hearing. Failure of a member to disclose a potential conflict of interest constitutes malfeasance in office.
(B) Before casting a vote on a matter on which a member may reasonably be considered to have a conflict of interest, the member shall disclose the potential conflict of interest to the Planning Commission. The member is disqualified from voting on the matter if so provided by the Planning Commission Bylaws or by a majority vote of the remaining members of the Planning Commission.
(C) For purposes of this subchapter, CONFLICT OF INTEREST shall have the meaning as defined in the Planning Commission Bylaws and in the absence of this definition, means when a member of the Planning Commission or a member of their family has a proprietary or financial interest in an issue or matter that is before the Planning Commission beyond that which is experienced by the public in general, or the member may receive or gain a financial benefit as a result of a vote on the issue or matter.
