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.

Link to Precinct Finder Email Address jghaynie@yahoo.com 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. Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
