Mr. Dave Walsh:

One safeguard is the fact that it is not just one person making the decision. That does not address the Deputy's particular question. Board members are probably involved in 500 to 700 cases each over the course of the years. Cases might involve someone who is not a direct family member, who a board member worked with, or who lived in a house 5 miles away. It requires trust and responsibility. This is where the code comes in.
