Rule promulgated under: RC 111.15

(A) Each council member will file with the executive director and chairman of the council at such date as determined by the council (and in the case of new members of the council within sixty days following their appointment by the governor), a statement listing his employment by or interest in (financial or otherwise) organizations eligible for council support. Such statement shall be kept current to reflect any substantial changes.

(B) A council member shall not submit an application for council funds, or any report required by the council on behalf of an organization which employs him or in which he has an interest.

(C) A council member may take part in activities undertaken by applicant organizations with financial support from the council, but shall not personally receive a remuneration out of council funds for his services in connection with any such activities.

(D) If a council member is to be a participant in any way in an activity which is supported financially by the council, the request to the council for support should clearly indicate the nature of this participation, it being understood that any council member who is such a participant shall not receive any remuneration out of council funds for his services.

(E) When the application of a particular grantee organization, by which a council member is employed or in which he has an interest, is discussed by the council, such council member shall refrain from participating in such discussions, except for the purpose of answering any questions directed to him by other members of the council or the staff of the council and shall also refrain from voting on the funding of such applications.

(F) Council members shall make every reasonable effort to act without self-interest on all applications submitted to the council, recognizing that loyalties to a particular geographic area, arts discipline, institution, or specific interest group, must be subjugated to the broader purpose of acting in the best interests of state-wide arts promotion and development.
