§ 35A.63.020. Planning agency -- Creation -- Powers and duties -- Conflicts of interest
By ordinance a code city may create a planning agency and provide for its membership, organization, and expenses. The planning agency shall serve in an advisory capacity to the chief administrative officer or the legislative body, or both, as may be provided by ordinance and shall have such other powers and duties as shall be provided by ordinance. If any person or persons on a planning agency concludes that he has a conflict of interest or an appearance of fairness problem with respect to a matter pending before the agency so that he cannot discharge his duties on such an agency, he shall disqualify himself from participating in the deliberations and the decision-making process with respect to the matter. If this occurs, the appointing authority that appoints such a person may appoint a person to serve as an alternate on the agency to serve in his stead in regard to such a matter.
