Investigators determined that the Executive Director violated the Albemarle Commission's conflict of interest policy by awarding her husband's company a construction management contract. In doing so, she may have violated North Carolina General Statute Section 14-234. The Executive Director did not fully disclose her husband's ownership in the company to the Albemarle Commission's Board of Delegates or external auditor. As a result, the Albemarle Commission awarded the $22,000 contract to her husband's company and made payments totaling $11,000, which she later repaid prior to submitting her resignation.
