Conflicts of Interest...

The Land Trust's Executive Director channeled hundreds of thousands of dollars to her son's construction company.

At the same time, she was also the Treasurer for her son's construction company - Conquering Lion Construction.

Firstly, it's a Conflict of Interest to channel all the non-profit's construction business to a company owned by your son.

Secondly, it's a HUGE conflict of interest for the Director of any non-profit organization to channel any of its business to a company in which that very same Director is also the Treasurer for that business.

These two conflicts together, creates one "massive" Conflict of Interest.

Jimbo just doesn't get it.

The other day, he said it didn't matter that the land Trust's Executive Director was the Treasurer for her son's company. Further, that the son had a right to setup his company any way he wished. He chose his Mother because he trusts her, and that's just fine.

Well... no, it isn't.

As Treasurer for her son's construction company, she stands to benefit from the profits of her son's company. As Land Trust Director, she's able to direct work to her son's company, from which she may benefit. That's not permitted.

Even if she never saw a nickel from her son's construction company profits, you don't do this because...

1.) He's still your son, and he still benefits from what ever work you pay for with these non-profit organization's funds.

2.) It creates a HUGE appearance of impropriety.

Wake-up! Jimbo.

This is how you were 'Accountable?" Good grief!

You were the Treasurer, then the President while this was going on.

If this is the limit of your comprehension regarding Conflicts of Interest, then it's one more reason you have no business becoming the Land Trust's puppet on the City Commission.
