(3) An employee of a county or municipality with discretionary powers which may affect or influence the outcome of the county's or municipality's action or decision related to this part or who is involved in the development of law, regulation or policy relating to matters regulated under this part.

(4) An employee of a department, agency, board, commission, authority or other governmental body not included in paragraph (1), (2), or (3) with discretionary power which may affect or influence the outcome of the governmental body's action or decision related to this part or who is involved in the development of regulation or policy relating to matters regulated under this part.
