Abstract
A town council member who is no longer a director or an officer of a homeowner’s association does not have a conflict of interest under Section 8-13-700 if matters concerning the association come before town council. If the town council member is a named defendant in a lawsuit brought by town council, he then has a conflict of interest requiring recusal from discussion, deliberations and votes conducted by town council regarding the lawsuit.
