Sec. 50.3. Qualifications of members of advisory boards and
commissions.
General provisions of law notwithstanding, the planning
commission and members of boards or agencies appointed by
city council, the mayor, or by the city manager, who serve
without pay and who serve only for the purpose of making
studies or recommendations, or advising or consulting with
city council, shall not be prohibited from such service merely
because they contract directly or indirectly with the city. Any
such member of an advisory board or agency who knows, or
may reasonably be expected to know, that he has a material
financial interest in any transaction in which the agency of
which he is an officer or employee is or may be in any way
concerned, shall disclose such interest and disqualify himself
from voting or participating in any official action thereon in
behalf of such agency. If disqualifications in accordance with
this section leave less than the number required by law to
act, the remaining member or members shall have authority to
act for the agency by majority vote, unless a unanimous vote
of all members is required by law in which case authority to
act shall require a unanimous vote of remaining members.
