A. A city official who has partiality concerning a quasi-judicial matter shall not advise on the matter, adjudicate the matter or serve as a member of a body adjudicating the matter.

B. A member of a quasi-judicial body who has or may have partiality concerning a matter before that body shall disclose to it and the parties in the action before it the facts concerning the official’s possible partiality before any discussion or action by the body on that matter. Any member of the body, and any party to a matter before the body, may raise a question concerning a member’s partiality, in which case the member in question shall disclose facts concerning the official’s possible partiality in the matter.

C. After such disclosure, the city official may excuse themselves for partiality without a vote of the body, otherwise the body (including a body comprised of city council members when serving in a quasi-judicial capacity) shall vote if the official has partiality concerning the matter.
