Annually, by May 1 of each year, the members of the Municipal Council, the Mayor, the Planning Commission, the Zoning Hearing Board, the Pension Committees, the Library Board, the Monroeville Water Authority,[1] all appointed administrative employees and department heads shall complete a disclosure of financial interest form.
