(a) Transactional disclosure. A city official shall not participate in any transaction which subsequently would constitute a conflict of interest under section 2-104(d) without disclosing the interest in the transaction prior to participating in the transaction. If the official is a member of a decision-making or advising body, the disclosure must be made at a meeting of the body and made part of the official record of the body. A council, board, or commission member who abstains from a vote shall disclose the reason to the entire body and that reason shall be made a part of the official record of the body.
(b) Disclosure of gifts. Any gift received by a city official which could influence the manner in which they enact their official duties should be reported immediately to the board of ethics. Such gifts should be returned to the donor, or donated to a charity, with the explanation to the donor that city policy will not permit the acceptance of the gift.
