The Executive Officer may determine in writing that a particular consultant, although in a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and hence is not required to comply fully with the disclosure requirements described in this section. Such determination shall include a description of the consultant's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The Executive Officer's determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict of interest code.
