CITIZENS TO BE HEARD
OVERVIEW OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST LAWS~ OPEN MEETINGS ACT AND
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
Several Board members have requested that the Village Attorney Everette Hill conduct a
Workshop designed to "refresh" elected officials' memories regarding the requirements of
those rules and regulations that govern the conduct of business by the Village Board.
Specific emphasis will be placed on practical application of State and local Conflict of
Interest Laws as well as the basic requirements of the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom
of Information Act. A number of colleagues from Mr. Hill's firm, Klein, Thorpe and Jenkins,
will be in attendance to discuss differing aspects of these rules and regulations.
Of particular interest should be the use of hypothetical fact patterns in analyzing the
application of Conflict of Interest rules and regulations. It is one thing to review the static text
of these laws, and quite another to work through their application in real world situations.
This should be most informative and thought provoking.
Invitations have been extended to members of the various volunteer Boards and
Commissions to attend thiS important training session. Along with Mr. Hill and his
colleagues, appropriate staff will be on hand to participate in the discussion.
