§ 72678 Auxiliary Board Conflict Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone on the board has a money interest in a deal, it’s okay if they tell the board about it and don’t vote on it.
  • •The deal must be fair and good for the group, not just for the person with the money interest.
  • •The board must agree to the deal in a meeting and write it down in their notes.

Example

A board member’s cousin owns a company that sells chairs. The board wants to buy chairs from that company.

The board member must tell the board about their cousin and not vote. The board must decide the price is fair and write it in their meeting notes. If they do this, the deal is okay.

(b) The contract or transaction is just and reasonable as to the auxiliary organization at the time it is authorized or approved. (Added by Stats. 1980, Ch. 858, Sec. 2. Effective August 31, 1980.)
