officers and employees, including persons serving on advisory boards and committees. In general, advisory committee
members are prohibited from entering into transactions with the County. This includes contracts or transactions between
Lee County government and you, your outside employer/employment, or any business in which you have a material interest.
Please consult the excerpted guidelines on page 2 from the Guide to the Sunshine Amendment and Code of Ethics for Public
Officers and Employees for assistance in answering the questions below.
Are you aware of a potential conflict of interest that may result from your service as a member of a BoCC advisory
committee? [ ] Yes [ ] No
If yes, please explain the nature of the conflict of interest. For example, identify the contracts or business transactions you
have with the County, the position you hold with your employer if the employer has the contract or business relationship
with the County, identify the business entity you own or have a material interest, and any other information necessary to
explain the nature of the conflict of interest:
If you have a potential conflict but think that one of the statutory exemptions applies to your situation, please indicate the
specific exemption you claim (see Section 112.313(12), Florida Statutes):
If you have questions about a potential conflict, please contact the Lee County Attorney’s Office at (239) 533-2236.
WAIVER OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST: A member of an advisory board may have a conflict of interest waived by the
BoCC after disclosure of the transaction or relationship using Florida Commission on Ethics Form 4A (Disclosure of

addition to this Conflict of Interest form to County Administration as indicated on page 2. Waiver requests will be
