City of Waco, Texas

Conflicts Disclosure Statements

Effective January 1, 2006, members of a municipal governing body are required to file a conflict disclosure statement with their City Records Administrator (City Secretary). A member of the governing body must file a conflict disclosure statement within seven days of becoming aware of the following circumstances:

A city officer, or a member of the city officer's family, has an employment or other business relationship with any person who does business with the city or is being considered by the city for a business relationship, and that relationship results in income for the elected official or the family member; or
A city officer, or member of the city officer's family, have received certain gifts valued at more than $250.00 in the preceding 12 months from any person who does business with the city or is being considered by the city for a business relationship.

The bill also requires a vendor who wishes to conduct business or be considered for business with a city to file a "conflict of interest questionnaire (see section below)." The conflicts disclosure statement (Form CIS) and the conflict of interest questionnaire (Form CIQ) were created by the Texas Ethics commission and are available online at www.ethics.state.tx.us.

Failure to complete and file a statement shall be a Class C misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine up to $500.
