incompatible with the proper discharge of official responsibilities in the public interest if

he/she or any member of his family will obtain, secure, or advance such interest by

reason of his/her actions in performance or nonperformance of his/her official

responsibilities.

C. A Town or Board of Education official, employee or consultant does not have a financial

business transaction or pending matter that is within the purview of such official,

employee or consultant. No Town or Board of Education official, employee or

consultant shall accept, or knowingly seek or cause to be given to any member of his/her

family, any valuable favor, treatment, consideration, or advantage beyond that which is

generally available to the citizens of the Town from any person who, to the knowledge

of the official, employee or consultant, is interested directly or indirectly in any business

transaction or pending matter that is within the responsibilities of the official, employee

or consultant. For purposes of this section, a pending matter includes, but is not limited

to, any application to any agency, a bid for work to be performed, an application for

employment, and any bid for the furnishing of supplies, equipment or services.

Section 6. Disclosure and disqualification.

A. Any Town or Board of Education official, employee or consultant who has a conflict of

interest, financial interest, or beneficial interest, direct or indirect, in any contract,

transaction or decision within the purview of his/her official responsibilities shall

disclose that conflict of interest in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance.

Such disclosure shall disqualify the official, employee or consultant from participation in

the matter, transaction or decision.

B. No Town or Board of Education official, employee or consultant shall appear on behalf

of any private person or party before any agency in connection with any cause,

proceeding, application or other matter in which he/she has financial interest or

beneficial interest without first disclosing such interest to the agency, which shall record

such disclosure in the record of the agency’s proceeding. This Code shall not prohibit

any current or former Town or Board of Education official, employee or consultant from

appearing before any agency on his/her own behalf.

C. If there is an uncertainty whether a Town or Board of Education official, employee or

consultant has a conflict of interest, financial interest, or beneficial interest that could

disqualify that individual from participation in a matter, such individual may request an

advisory opinion from the Ethics Commission pursuant to this ordinance.

D. Nothing in the Code shall be interpreted to authorize conduct restricted or prohibited by

any provision of the Connecticut General Statutes including, but not limited to, Sections

8-11, 821 and 22a-42(c) of the Connecticut General Statutes that restrict conduct of

members of municipal zoning and planning authorities and members of Inland,

shall be made on a form prescribed by the Ethics Commission available at the

Town’s website <http://www.ledyardct.org/>www.ledyardct.org

<http://www.ledyardct.org><http://www.ledyardct.org/>or through the Town’s Clerk

office, and signed under penalty of false statement. The form shall be delivered to

and the respondent within five (5) business days of receipt of the complaint. The

chair or vice-chair of the Ethics Commission shall sign a form, provided by the Town

probable cause determination and invite the respondent to provide any information

the respondent deems relevant to the Ethics Commission’s determination of probable

cause. No complaint may be made under the Code of Ethics unless it is filed with the

Ethics Commission within three (3) years after the violation alleged in the complaint

has been committed.

The Complaint shall include the: (i) the name of the person accused (respondent); (ii)

name of the person filing the complaint; and (iii) the specific acts alleged to

constitute a violation of the Code of Ethics and when said actions occurred.

ii. Probable Cause Determination

Within sixty (60) business days of the receipt of a complaint by the Chair or

Vice-Chair, the Ethics Commission shall review and determine whether there is

probable cause that a violation of the Code of Ethics has occurred. A finding of

probable cause means that based on a review of the available information, the Ethics

Commission determines that reasonable grounds exist to believe that the respondent

engaged in prohibited conduct by the Code of Ethics. If the Ethics Commission does

not make a finding of probable cause, the complaint shall be dismissed, and a copy

of its decision shall be mailed to both the complainant and the respondent. Unless

the Ethics Commission makes a finding of probable cause, a complaint alleging a

violation of this Code of Ethics shall be confidential except upon the request of the

respondent.

If the Ethics Commission makes a finding of probable cause, which shall require

three (3) affirmative votes, it shall so advise both the complainant and the respondent

and begin a formal investigation.

iii. Hearings

If the Ethics Commission decides that probable cause of a violation of the Code of

Ethics exists, it will conduct a public hearing to determine whether or not a violation

occurred in accordance with Uniform Administrative Procedure Act (“UAPA”) (See

Chapter 54 of the Connecticut General Statutes). At the hearing, the respondent will

have the right to be represented by legal counsel; to present evidence and witnesses

and compel the attendance of witnesses; to produce books, documents, records and

papers; to examine and cross-examine witnesses; and to inspect and copy relevant

and material records, papers and documents. Hearings are not governed by the legal

rules of evidence and any information relevant to the matter may be considered. The

Ethics Commission will respect the rules of privilege recognized by the law. Not

later than ten business (10) days before the start of the hearing, the Ethics

Commission will provide the respondent with a list of its intended witnesses. The

Ethics Commission will make a record of the proceedings.

iv. Final Decisions

Decisions by the Ethics Commission that a person is in violation of the Code of

Ethics must result from the concurring vote of four (4) of its members. The Ethics

Commission must render its decision within sixty business (60) days of the closing of

the hearing. Such finding and memorandum will be deemed to be the final decision

of the Ethics Commission for the purposes of the UAPA. The respondent may appeal

to the superior court in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-183 of the

Connecticut General Statutes. If the Ethics Commission determines that the Code of

Ethics was violated, it will provide the respondent, the Mayor, the Ledyard Town

Council and the Board of Education (if applicable) with a copy of its findings and

memorandum within ten (10) business days after its decision. It will also advise the

respondent of his/her right to appeal the decision pursuant to Section 4-183 of the

Connecticut General Statutes.

v. Penalties for Violations of the Code of Ethics

A violation of the Code of Ethics may lead to any one or a combination of the

following penalties:

a. order to cease and desist the violation;

b. pay a civil penalty of up to the maximum amount permitted by State

law;

c. censure;

d. suspension without pay;

e. demotion;

f. termination of employment or contract; and

g. Restitution of any benefits received because of the violation committed.

Penalties will be determined by a majority vote of the Town Council within sixty (60)

business days after receipt of the finding and memorandum of Ethics Commission.

The remedies and procedures specified in any applicable statutory and Charter

provisions, personnel rules, contract grievance rules, or other work rules, policies,

and procedures, shall be followed in the enforcement of this section.

Section 12. Severability.

If any part of this Code of Ethics or Ordinance shall be held by a court of competent

jurisdiction to be invalid, such holding shall not be deemed to invalidate the remaining

provisions hereof.
