of a Town Agency or member of the Board should have any interest,

or transaction or professional activity or incur any obligation of
any nature, which is in substantial conflict with the proper discharge
of duties in the public interest.

officer or employee or member of the Board should accept other
employment which will impair independence of judgment in the

person.
g. An officer or employee or member of the Board should abstain
from making personal investments in enterprises which he has
reason to believe they may be directly involved in decisions
