While living in Maryland, I worked with the home owners association to establish community by-laws that protected and enhanced and
protected neighborhood and did not violate any existing city code. This expericne has given me greater insight into working
on a committee for the greater good of the neighborhood.
I am currently a home owner in Atlantic Beach. I am interested in perserving the character and beauty of the city. This board
is an intergal part of acheiving that goal. Additionally, I am interested in serving the greater good of the city.

“CONFLICT OF INTEREST” NOTICE:
“Part III of Chapter 112, Fla.Stat., is the Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees. This Code defines “conflict” or
“conflict of interest” to mean a situation in which regard for a private interest tends to lead to disregard of a public duty or
interest. Fla.Stat. §112.312(8). The intent of this Code, in part, is that public office not be used for private gain. Fla.Stat.
§112.311(1). A “conflict” or “conflict of interest” is something that would result in a special private gain to an individual,
usually a special financial benefit.
An appointed member of a committee of the City of Atlantic Beach will most likely be subject to the provisions of the
State Code of Ethics. Disclosure of any “conflict” or “conflict of interest” should be made as soon as possible in the
appointment process. While it may be difficult to anticipate conflicts or conflicts of interest that may arise during future
committee meetings, which should be disclosed immediately by any committee member, those known or anticipated initially,
including those which others might perceive as a conflict or conflict of interest, should be disclosed during the appointment
process.”
