The powers and duties of the Conflict of Interests Advisory Committee shall be applied and used only in relation to the public officials of the City of Virginia Beach to whom this Conflict of Interests Ordinance applies. F. The Committee will be activated and function as follows: In response to a written complaint from any other individual, signed and sworn to before the City Clerk and filed with the City Clerk, concerning any alleged violation of the provisions of this Ordinance, except any Public Official set forth in Section II of this Ordinance may request the Committee's advice on any factual situation.

If, after preliminary investigation, the Committee determines to proceed with an inquiry into the conduct of any public official, the Committee shall immediately notify the public official as to the inquiry and the allegations against him or her and shall thereafter schedule hearing(s) on the matter.

If the Committee determines there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the official willfully violated the provisions of the Conflict of Interests Ordinance, it shall recommend to the Commonwealth's Attorney that he or she begin prosecution. 3. In the event the Commonwealth's Attorney determines the evidence is sufficient to prosecute the official, then he or she may either proceed to the magistrate for a warrant or to the grand jury for an indictment. If the Commonwealth's Attorney determines not to prosecute the alleged violation, he or she shall notify the affected public official. J. All proceedings during the investigation of any complaint by the Committee shall be confidential unless the public official elects otherwise under Paragraph G of this Section. This rule of confidentiality shall apply to the Committee Members and their staff. If this confidentiality is breached, the members and their staff may be subject to the provisions of Paragraph K and L below. K. Any person who willfully violates the provisions of the Conflict of Interests Ordinance shall be guilty of a Class I Misdemeanor. A willful violation of this Section is one in which the person engages in conduct, performs some act, or refuses to perform such act in which he or she knows or should know that the conduct is prohibited or required by this Ordinance. If any public official is charged with a willful violation resulted from his or her reliance upon a written opinion of the Commonwealth's Attorney made after full disclosure of the facts, then such action is not a violation and would not be in violation of this Ordinance, in which case the official shall not be prosecuted for any violation of this Ordinance if in reliance on such opinion he or she violates this Ordinance. L. Any person who willfully violates any of the provisions of this Ordinance shall be guilty of malfeasance in office. Upon conviction thereof, the judge or jury trying the case, may award a 8 sentence of up to one (1) year in jail and/or a fine of up to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) and may order the forfeiture of said office. VII. DISQUALIFICATIONS If disqualifications in accordance with this ordinance leave less than the number required by law to act, the remaining member or members shall have authority to act for the agency by majority vote, unless a certain percentage vote of all members is required by law, in which case authority to act shall require the same percentage vote of remaining members. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance to the contrary, any public official whose sole interest in any proposed contract of sale, sale, exchange, lease or conveyance, is by virtue of their employment by a firm, partnership, or other business involved in a proposed contract of sale, sale, exchange, lease or conveyance, and where such official's or officials' vote is essential to a required majority pursuant to Article VII, Section 9 of the Constitution of Virginia and Section 15.1-307 of VA. CODE ANN., such official or officials may, after disclosure as referenced in this Ordinance, vote and participate in the deliberations of the agency concerning whether to approve, enter into or execute such contract of sale, sale, exchange, lease or conveyance. VIII. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE The provisions of this Ordinance are severable and if any provision, clause, sentence, section, word or part thereof is held illegal, invalid, unconstitutional or inapplicable to any person or circumstances, such illegality, invalidity, unconstitutionality or inapplicability shall not affect or impair any of the remaining provisions, sentences, clauses, sections, words or parts thereof of the Ordinance or their application to other persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared that it be the legislative intent that this Ordinance would have been adopted if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional provision, sentence, clause, section, word or part had not been included therein, and if the person or circumstances to which the Ordinance or any part thereof is inapplicable had been specifically exempted therefrom.
