Why does every single committee require an annual financial disclosure? I imagine that would make many people reluctant to serve?

It's a publicly held office even if it is volunteer and the disclosure forms are public record available to anyone.

That seems odd because a volunteer is not an officer, but a volunteer. I agree that that will turn off potential volunteers.

Code Enforcement
Zoning Board
Planning Commission
Design Review Board
The above may be theonly ones required as there is also an asterisk to the right of the Board. I could be wrong but I think this was just a mistake in how this was laid out. When you download the form it has red asterisks next to the above 4.
I think I will volunteer and maybe I could do something positive for my community.
