Section 20A—3(b)(11) thereof, the filing of financial
interest statements by employees of the County who are
responsible for making governmental decisions or taking
governmental action or recommending any such decision or
action with regard to:

(a)    contracting or procurement;

(b)    administering or monitoring grants or

paragraph 20A—3(d) that an employee who holds a position
described in the aforesaid Section 20A—3(b)(11) need not
file the sworn financial interest statement required by
the bill if it is determined that the duties of the
position are such that the likelihood of the incumbent's
involvement in a conflict—of—interest situation is remote
or if the duties of the position are at such a level of
responsibility that the submission of such sworn
statement is not necessary because of the degree of
supervision and review over the incumbent, and

the financial interest statements required to be filed
pursuant to Section 20A—3(b)(11) shall be confidential
and shall not be subject to public review.
