             reasonable person could have a perception of bias considering the community
             nature of this relationship. I believe I can make an impartial decision in the public
             interest in this matter and l therefore choose to remain in the meeting room.
             However, I will respect the decision of the meeting on whether I can remain and
             participate in the decision.

             reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.
