This review process would function along the following lines. <br />1. Any County employee, Commissioner or member of a County Board or Commission may <br />request an interpretive ruling on a particular set of fads from the County Attomey's Office as to <br />whether participation in a described activity would violate the code of ethics. Said request would <br />be in writing. <br />2. If the opinion is that there is no violation that ends the matter. <br />3. If the opinion is that there is a violation that opinion may be appealed as follows: <br />a.
