Water-Saving rebates

Yesterday council discussed a uniform rebate program, within the Toowoomba Water Supply area worth more than $541,400.
Councillors were keen to push for the retrofitting of dual flush toilets. [Note: the old Toowoomba City Council cancelled the rebate for dual-flush toilets.]
The State Government offers $150 for a six/three litre or better system, while council are set to approve $100 rebates for 500 4.5/three litre suite installations.
Director of engineering Kevin Flanagan declared a material personal interest because a company he is involved with stood to gain from the decision.

Kev Flanagan needs to declare exactly what the interest is.
Must be good to have time to be involved in this company. Obviously he is overpaid for what he does. Maybe his position needs to be declared part-time, as it seems only a part-time effort is being put in!
Where is the CEO on this matter, or does he have an interest as well?
