RESOLUTION #2021-109
Conflict of Interest Policy
In addition to State of Iowa, and Local codes, applicable to Conflict of Interest, the following policy, pertaining to Federal Funds shall be applicable.
Per 2 CFR Part 200.112 Conflict of Interest
The Federal awarding agency must establish conflict of interest policies for Federal awards. The non-Federal entity must disclose in writing any potential conflict of interest to the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity in accordance with applicable Federal awarding agency policy.
And per 2 CFR Part 200.318 (c)(1) General Procurement Standards
The non-Federal entity must maintain written standards of conduct covering conflicts of interest and governing the actions of its employees engaged in the selection, award and administration of contracts. No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a Federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest.
Such a conflict of interest would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for a contract.
The officers, employees, and agents of the non-Federal entity may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, non-Federal entities may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value. The standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the non-Federal entity.
To the extent permitted by federal, state, or local laws or regulations, violations of these standards may cause penalties, sanctions, or other disciplinary actions to be taken against officers, employees, or agents.
Passed and adopted this 4th day of October 2021.
