regulation. Not every relationship or situation disclosed on the Disclosure Form may be a

disqualifying conflict. Depending on applicable law and regulations, some contracts may awarded

on the recommendation of the City Administrator after full disclosure, where such action is allowed

interest of the City. A copy of the Vendor Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form is attached.

Administrator or designee whose decision shall be final.
