AGENDA ITEM 'WORDING: Approval of waiver of "standard of conduct" provision of Section
112.313(3) and (7), F.S., for Messrs. Robin Lockwood and George Galvan, members of a District
Advisory Committee to the TDC (District I) and members of the Board of Directors, Key West
Chamber of Commerce, as allowed under Section 112.313(12), F.S.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Messrs. Lockwood and Galvan are members of the Key West Chmnber of
Conunerce. Both individuals also sit on DAC I and therefore are likely to be called upon to vote on
funds to be awarded to the Key West Chamber of Commerce. The Florida Commission of Ethics has
opined that there is no voting conflict under Section 112.3143, Florida Statutes. However, a vote on
funds to be awarded to their Chamber of Commerce would still violate the "standards of conduct"
provision in Section 112.313(3) and (7), F.S., preventing members of advisory boards from serving on
an advisory board making recommendations on funds to be awarded to the outside agencies with which
the members are affiliated. Section 112.313(12), F.S., states that the appointing body can waive any
such potential conflict. The Key West Chamber of Commerce has provided CE Fonn 4A, Disclosure
of Business Transaction, Relationship or Interest (attached) for each person and is requesting the
Waiver.

Dear 'Mr. Claypnol:
I am writing to ask for an opinion on the voting rights of an individual who serves two
organizations. My question is: Maya volunteer board member of the Key West
Chamber of Commerce, (a 50lC 6 organization) who receives no eompensation and no
financial gain vote on a funding request for the Chamber of Commerce while sitting on
another board on which they serve? The other organization is a regional sl..lb committee
(District Advisory Committee) for the Monroe County Tourist Development Council
(TDe). Does a member of the District Advisory Committee have a conflict of interest
that would prohibit them from voting on a Chamber of Commerce funding request?
~ank you fo.rprariding us with your opinion. I sincerely appreciate your attention to
thIS matte7/,
