I am currently employed by the City of Virginia Beach as a police officer in a position in the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. As a City employee, I am a member of a group, i.e., City employees, the members of which are affected by the transaction. I wish to disclose this interest and declare that I am able to participate in the transaction fairly, objectively, and in the public interest. Mrs. Ruth Hodges Smith -2- May 10, 1994 Re: Disclosure Pursuant to Section 2.1-639.14(G), Code of Virginia Accordingly, I respectfully request that you record this declaration in the official records of the City Council. I have enclosed an opinion letter from Leslie L. Lilley, City Attorney, which addresses this same matter. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Councilman JWBjr/clb Enclosure City of Virginia LESLIE L. LILLEY CITY A'FI'ORNEY MUNICIPAL CENTER V1RGINIA BLEACH, VIRGINIA 2345~-9004 (804) 427-4531 FAX (804) 426-5687 TDD (804) 427-4305 May 10, 1994 Councilman James W. Brazier, Jr. Municipal Center Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion Dear Councilman Brazier: I am writing in response to your request for an opinion as to whether you may participate in the City Council discussion and vote on the FY94-95 proposed operating budget for the City. Summa~ Conclusion; I am of the opinion that since the Conflict of Interests Act does not anticipate the personal interests of a legislator-employee regarding the transactions before a public body, you do not have a personal interest in the transaction as defined by the Act. Thus, you are permitted to participate in this matter without restriction. Notwithstanding this conclusion, I have previously advised you by letter of July 2, 1990, to follow the dictates of the Act in cases in which you will realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect benefit or detriment. The facts herein indicate that it is reasonably foreseeable that you may realize a financial benefit or detriment, depending upon the decisions made by the Council with respect to the budget which includes, among other provisions, provisions regarding a merit increase and a cost-of-living adjustment. Therefore, it is my advice that you follow the dictates of the Act. Based on the fact that you are a member of a group which is affected by the transaction, i.e., all City employees, the Act provides that you may participate in the Councilman James W. Brazier, Jr. -2- Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion May 10, 1994 discussion and vote on the budget upon disclosure and a determination by you that you can participate fairly, objectively, and in the public interest. For your information I have outlined the disclosure requirements of Section 2.1-639.14(G) should you desire to disclose your relationship and vote; I have also set forth the applicable provisions for abstention set forth in § 2.1-639.14(E), should you choose not to vote. I base the aforesaid conclusions on the following facts which you have presented. Please review and verify the accuracy of the facts as set forth as you may only rely upon this opinion if they are correct and complete. Fact$ Presented: Your request for an advisory opinion is generated by the City Council discussion and vote on the City's proposed operating budget for FY94-95. The operating budget includes, among other provisions, provisions regarding a merit increase and a cost-of-living adjustment. You advise that your concern with respect to the transaction is that you are currently employed by the City of Virginia Beach as a police officer, earning a salary in excess of $10,000 and you are assigned to the Commonwealth Attorney's Office. You also are a Council member of the City of Virginia Beach, earning a salary in excess of $10,000. Issue; Are you precluded from participating in the City Council discussion and vote on the proposed operating budget for FY94-957 Discussion; I. Applicable Definitions of §2.1-639.2: A. The City Council as the legislative branch of local government is a "governmental agency" under the Act. of the Act. As an elected governmental official, you are an 'officer" within the meaning C. As an employee of the City, you are also an %mployee' within the meaning of the Act. Councilman James W. Brazier, Ir. -3- May 10, 1994 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion D. City Council's discussion and vote on the budget is a "transaction" as defined by the Act. A 'transaction" includes any matters considered by any governmental agency on which official action is taken or contemplated. E. ~Business" is defined as a corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, firm, enterprise, franchise or association, trust or foundation, or any other individual or entity carrying on a business or profession, whether or not for profit. Neither the City nor the City Council falls within the definition of a ~business' under the Act. F. "Personal interest" is defined as a financial benefit or liability which accrues to an officer, employee, or to an immediate family member. The interest exists by reason of one of five categories specified therein as: 1) ownership in a business if the ownership interest exceeds 3 % of the total equity of the business 2) annual income from ownership in real or personal property or a business in excess of $10,000.00 3) salary from the use of property or paid by a business that exceeds $10,000.00 annually 4) ownership of real or personal property when the interest exceeds $10,000.00 in value, exclusive of ownership in a business, or salary 5) personal liability incurred or assumed on behalf of a business which exceeds 3 % of the asset value of the business. (Emphasis added). G. A "personal interest in the transaction" exists when an officer or employee or a member of his immediate family has a personal interest in property or a business or represents any individual or business and such property, business or represented individual (i) is the subject of the transaction or (ii) may realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect benefit or detriment as the result of the agency considering the transaction. (Emphasis added). II. Application of Definitions; A. Personal Interest Based upon my review of the facts presented, you do not have a "personal interesff as def'med above, because you do not receive a salary from a "business." Instead, your salary is paid by the City of Virginia Beach which is classified under the Act as a governmental agency. B. Personal Interest in the Transaction You do not have a "personal interest", as defined above, therefore you cannot have a "personal interest in the transaction" under the definition of the Conflict of Interests Act. Councilman James W. Brazier, Jr. -4- Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion May 10, 1994 l~I. Prohibilions and Disclosure RequiremenB Based on the conclusion that you have no personal interest in the Council's discussion and vote on the budget, it is my opinion that you are permitted to participate in discussions of the City Council and vote on this item. As indicated in my letter to you dated July 2, 1990, the Conflict of Interests Act does not anticipate the personal interests of a legislator- employee regarding transactions before the public body. However, while you do not have a personal interest as defined by the Act, I advised that you follow the dictates of the Act in cases where you personally will realize a financial benefit or detriment as an employee of the City. Council's discussion and vote on the proposed FY94-95 operating budget could foreseeably result in a financial benefit or detriment to you since you are a City employee. Thus, it is my advice that you follow the dictates of the Act. Based on the fact that you are a member of a group which is affected by the transaction, i.e., all City employees, the Act provides that you may participate in the discussion and vote on the budget upon disclosure and a determination by you that you can participate fairly, objectively, and in the public interest. (See § 2.1-639.11(A)(2)). In the alternative, you may choose to abstain from voting and disclose any interest. Either of these may diffuse any perception problems that may arise. (See § 2.1-639.14(E)). Enclosed please find a written declaration form, should you decide to declare your interest. This disclosure form is based on § 2.1-639.14(G). This section provides that you may either make this declaration orally, which is to be recorded in the written minutes of the City Council, or you may file a signed written declaration with the Clerk of City Council, who shall retain and make this document available for public inspection for a period of five years from the date of recording or receipt. If you should desire to abstain from voting, § 2.1-639.14(E) provides that in such instances, the officer shall forthwith make disclosure of the existence of his interest and his disclosure shall be reflected in the public records for five years. The Conflict of Interests Act deals with the types of influences upon a public officer's or employee's judgment which are clearly improper. The law cannot, however, protect Councilman James W. Brazier, Jr. -5- Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion May 10, 1994 against all appearances of improper influence. In that respect the Act places the burden on the individual officer to evaluate whether the facts presented would present an appearance of impropriety which is unacceptable or which would affect the confidence of the public in the officer's ability to be impartial. Please contact me should you desire any additional information. Very truly yours, City Attorney LLL/RMB/clb Enclosure City of Virginia PAUL J.

I base the aforesaid conclusions on the following facts which you have presented. Please review and verify the accuracy of the facts as set forth as you may only rely upon this opinion if they are correct and complete. Facts Presented; Your request for an advisory opinion is generated by the City Council discussion and vote on the City's proposed operating budget for FY94-95. The operating budget includes, among other provisions, provisions regarding salary increases for City and School Board employees. You advise that your concern with respect to the transaction is that you are currently employed by the City of Virginia Beach as a police officer, earning a salary in excess of $10,000.00 and you are assigned to the Sheriff's Office. You also are a Council member of the City of Virginia Beach, eaming a salary in excess of $10,000.00. Furthermore, your wife is employed by the Virginia Beach School Board earning a salary of less than $10,000.00 annually. Issue: Are you precluded from participating in the City Council discussion and vote on the proposed operating budget for FY94-957 Discussion; I. Applicable Definitions of §2,1-639.2; A. The City Council as the legislative ~governmental agency' under the Act. branch of local govermnent is a Councilman Paul J. Lanteigne -3- May 10, 1994 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion of the Act. As an elected governmental official, you are an "officer" within the meaning C. As an employee of the City, you and your wife are also "employees" within the meaning of the Act. D. City Council's discussion and vote on the budget is a "transaction" as defined by the Act. A "transaction" includes any matters considered by any governmental agency on which official action is taken or contemplated. E. "Business" is defined as a corporation, parmership, sole proprietorship, finn, enterprise, franchise or association, trust or foundation, or any other individual or entity carrying on a business or profession, whether or not for profit. Neither the City nor the City Council falls within the definition of a "business" under the Act. F. "Personal interest" is defined as a financial benefit or liability which accrues to an officer, employee, or to an immediate family member. The interest exists by reason of one of five categories specified therein as: 1) ownership in a business if the ownership interest exceeds 3 % of the total equity of the business 2) annual income from ownership in real or personal property or a I~usines~ in excess of $10,000.00 3) salary from the use of property or paid by a business that exceeds $10,000.00 annually 4) ownership of real or personal property when the interest exceeds $10,000.00 in value, exclusive of ownership in a business, or salary 5) personal liability incurred or assumed on behalf of a business which exceeds 3 % of the asset value of the business. (Emphasis added). G. A "personal interest in the transaction" exists when an officer or employee or a member of his immediate family has a personal interest in property or a business or represents any individual or business and such property, business or represented individual (i) is the subject of the transaction or (ii) may realize a reasonably foreseeable direct or indirect benefit or detriment as the result of the agency considering the transaction. (Emphasis added). 1I. Application of Definitions; A. Personal Interest Based upon my review of the facts presented, you do not have a "personal interest" as defined above, because neither you nor your wife receive a salary from a "business." Instead, your salaries are paid by the City of Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach School Councilman Paul J. Lanteigne -4- May 10, 1994 Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion Board, respectively, which are classified under the Act as a governmental agencies. Furthermore, your wife's salary is less than $10,000.00 annually. B. P¢r$0nal Interest ~ thc T.r~sacfi0n You do not have a "personal interest", as defined above, therefore you cannot have a "personal interest in the transaction" under the definition of the Conflict of Interests Act. m. Prohibitions ~tnd Disclosure Requirements Based on the conclusion that you have no personal interest in the Council's discussion and vote on the budget, it is my opinion that you are permitted to participate in discussions of the City Council and vote on this item. As indicated in my letter to you dated July 2, 1990, the Conflict of Interests Act does not anticipate the personal interests of a legislator- employee regarding transactions before the public body. However, while you do not have a personal interest as defined by the Act, I advised that you follow the dictates of the Act in cases where you personally will realize a financial benefit or detriment as an employee of the City. Council's discussion and vote on the proposed FY94-95 operating budget could foreseeably result in a financial benefit or detriment to you and your wife since you are a City employee, and she is a School Board employee. Thus, it is my advice that you follow the dictates of the Act. Based on the fact that you are a member of a group which is affected by the transaction, i.e., all City employees, and that your wife is also a member of a group which is affected by the transaction, i.e., all School Board employees, the Act provides that you may participate in the discussion and vote on the budget upon disclosure and a determination by you that you can participate fairly, objectively, and in the public interest. (See § 2.1-639.11(A)(2)). In the alternative, you may choose to abstain from voting and disclose any interest. Either of these may diffuse any perception problems that may arise. (See § 2.1-639.14(E)). Enclosed please fred a written declaration form, should you decide to declare your interest. This disclosure form is based on § 2.1-639.14(G). This section provides that you may either make this declaration orally, which is to be recorded in the written minutes of the City Council, or you may fde a signed written declaration with the Clerk of City Council, who shall retain and make this document available for public inspection for a period of five years from the date of recording or receipt. Councilman Paul J. Lanteigne -5- Re: Request for Conflict of Interests Act Opinion May 10, .1994 If you should desire to abstain from voting, § 2.1-639.14(E) provides that in such instances, the officer shall forthwith make disclosure of the existence of his interest and his disclosure shall be reflected in the public records for five years. The Conflict of Interests Act deals with the types of influences upon a public officer's or employee's judgment which are clearly improper. The law cannot, however, protect against all appearances of improper influence. In that respect the Act places the burden on the individual officer to evaluate whether the facts presented would present an appearance of impropriety which is unacceptable or which would affect the confidence of the public in the officer's ability to be impartial.
