Prior to or at the commencement of a hearing, any party may challenge the qualification of the hearings body, or a member thereof, for bias, prejudgment or personal interest. The challenge shall be made on the record and be documented with specific reasons supported by facts. Should qualifications be challenged, the hearings body or the member shall disqualify itself, withdraw or make a statement on the record of its capacity to hear. A Planning Commission member with a conflict identified under ORS 215.035 must disqualify him or herself after disclosure. (Ord. 86, 12-7-1993)
