City Charter for the
City of New Ulm is
hereby amended to
add a new section,
Section 39, Conflicts of

Section 39. Conflicts
of Interest. A conflict
of interest is present
when an elected or ap-
pointed official, in the
discharge of that
official’s official duties,
would be required to
take an action or make
a decision regarding a
matter in which the offi-
cial has a personal
financial interest, or is
otherwise so personal-
ly interested in such
matter that the official
cannot act in the public
interest. For purposes
of this section, a per-
sonal financial interest
is any interest which
shall yield, directly or
indirectly, a material
monetary or other
benefit to the official,
excluding such cir-
cumstances when the
official’s financial in-
terest is no greater
than that of another
member of the official’s
business classification,
profession or occupa-
tion.
Any elected or appoint-
ed official who has a
conflict of interest on a
matter shall refrain
from voting on or other-
wise participating in
any actions or deci-
sions regarding such
matter. In such cases,
a public disclosure
shall be made as fol-
lows: (a) in the case of
the Mayor or any
Councilor, the interest-
ed official shall advise
the City Council of the
nature of the official’s
conflict of interest prior
to City Council con-
sideration of the matter
giving rise to the con-
flict, and a notation re-
garding such conflict of
interest shall be en-
tered in the City Coun-
cil minutes which relate
to such matter; (b) in
the case of a member
of a commission or
board of the City, the
interested member
shall advise the other
members of such com-
mission or board of the
nature of the member’s
conflict of interest prior
to consideration of the
matter giving rise to
the conflict, and a nota-
tion regarding such
conflict of interest shall
be entered in the
minutes of such com-
mission or board relat-
ing to such matter.
In the case of a sale,
lease or contract in
which an elected or ap-
pointed official with au-
thority to take part in
any manner in the
making of the transac-
tion has a personal
financial interest, nei-
ther the City Council
nor any commission or
board of the City shall
approve such transac-
tion except as allowed
by law.
SECTION 2. Pur-
suant to Minn. Stat. Å’

ordinance shall be ef-
fective 90 days after its
