“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 potential conflict of interest should be made as soon as
possible in the appointment process. While it may be difficult to anticipate a conflict
of interest that could arise during future committee meetings, those known or
anticipated initially, including those which others might perceive as a conflict of
interest, should be disclosed during the appointment process.

Please explain any
employment experience,
board/committee
experience, and/or
community volunteer
experience relative to the
board/committee applying
for.
I've been practicing law (civil litigation) since 2004, when I was
admitted to the Florida Bar. Most of my experience as an
attorney would be relevant to the work of the CDB, but perhaps
especially my experience drafting laws and handling disputes
involving real estate and local government. Having represented
clients from varying backgrounds and with varying income
income levels, etc., I think I've learned to consider varying
perspectives while still analyzing and applying the law
objectively. In case it's helpful, a lengthier summary of my legal
experience prior to starting my own firm in 2018 is available on
my firm's website at https://jeffhaynielaw.com/about-jh. I've
been on the board of directors of BEAM (Beaches Emergency
Assistance Ministry) since the end of 2018 and currently serve
as its secretary. I realize this application is submitted after the
2020 deadline, but my intention is to be considered in the next
cycle or two.
Please provide a brief
explanation of your
interest and your reasons
for wishing to be
appointed to this
board/committee.
I love AB and plan to be a life-long resident, so I'd like to put
my abilities to work for this community. I believe we are (and
will remain for some years to come) in a pivotal growth spurt,
especially along and west of Mayport Road, and I'd like to
contribute to the stewardship of our community and its
resources.
PLEASE NOTE: This application will expire two (2) years from the date of submittal.
