The Board of County <br />Commissioners may grant a waiver upon an affirmative vote of <br />two-thirds (2/3) of the entire Board of County Commissioners, <br />after public hearing, if it finds that the requirements of this <br />ordinance pertaining to the exclusion for a County employee from <br />the Code have been met and that the proposed transaction will be <br />in the best interest of the County. The Board of County <br />Commissioners may, as provided in subsection (c)(6), grant a <br />waiver to any person defined in subsection (b)(2) through (b)(4) <br /> <br />1 <br />
