260.02 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
A conflict of interest exists for any Franklin Village
official, whether elected, appointed or employed, who
might derive direct or indirect economic benefits from
official actions, decisions or recommendations made by
that person on behalf of the Village of Franklin, or in
situations where any Village official might derive
direct or indirect economic benefit from any business
relationship with any Village petitioners, vendors or
contractors.
A conflict of interest shall exist in any situation
where in a Village of Franklin consultant or contractor
might represent any person, firm or corporation wherein
the best interests of the Village of Franklin are
negatively affected, undermined or diminished, or
wherein such consultants might derive direct or indirect
pecuniary benefits from outside parties because of
recommendations or actions taken by that consultant in
an official Village capacity.
If the Franklin Village Council finds that a conflict of
interest exists in relation to any Village consultant or
contractor, that finding may be utilized as a basis for
cancellation of any and all contractual relationships
between the Village of Franklin and the consultant or
contractor.
It shall be the active obligation of any Franklin
Village official, whether elected, appointed or
employed, and any Village of Franklin consultant or
contractor, to immediately disclose to the Franklin
Village Council any potential or actual conflicts of
interests as they arise or exist.
A finding by the Franklin Village Council of a conflict
of interest in relation to any Franklin Village
official, whether elected, appointed or employed, may be
utilized in any pertinent removal process from office of
that official as authorized by ordinance or statute
governing the particular official's position.
Any Franklin Village official, consultant or contractor
shall be required to file the following annual conflict
of interest form, which form may from time to time be
