At the end of the City Council member’s term, the member may elect to keep the laptop/tablet provided to
them. Based on experience, a four-year-old device has reached its useful life and will therefore be deemed fully
depreciated. If the member elects not to keep the device, the member will contact the Information Technology
Department and schedule a time for the device to be returned to the City for inventory purposes.
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Provisions of COIA concerning financial disclosure apply to Council members of all cities and towns with
populations greater than 3,500.
In January of each year, the City Clerk will supply appropriate disclosure statements to Council members and the
applicable members of Boards and Commissions that must be filed by February 1. The Real Estate Holdings and
Financial Disclosure Forms will be submitted to members of boards, commissions, and authorities as required
by State Code. The City Clerk and City Attorney shall assist all members with filing appropriate forms prior to
their start of term. Additionally, local elected officials are required to complete an online Conflict of Interest
training module every two years. The module can be accessed through the Virginia Conflict of Interest and Ethics
Advisory Council website.
