DESCRIPTION:
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of
Interest Code biennially to determine whether amendments to the Code are required. (See Cal.
Gov't Code § 87306.5). The City's Conflict of Interest Code is located in Chapter 2.24 of the
Municipal Code. The last amendments to the City's Code were approved on December 16,
2008.
The City Council is the code reviewing body for City agencies. Pursuant to Government Code
Section 87306.5, City agencies must determine whether amendments to the Code are
necessary and notify the City Council by October 1, 2010 whether or not such amendments are
required. (See Cal. Gov't Code § 87306.5).
This Staff Report serves as notice to the City Council that amendments to the City's Conflict of
Interest Code are necessary in order to accurately reflect all of the designated positions within
the City which are required by state law to disclose financial interests, and to ensure that those
positions are given the appropriate disclosure category. Upon the City Council's direction, Staff
will revise the City's existing Conflict of Interest Code to include the changes described above.
After the revisions are complete, Staff will bring the revised Conflict of Interest Code to the City
Council for review and approval within ninety (90) days of today's date. The City's amended
code will not be effective until it has been adopted by the City Council. (See Cal. Gov't Code §
87303).
Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to revise the City's Conflict of Interest Code
in accordance with the changes provided above, and further directs Staff to bring the revised
Code back to the City Council for review and approval within ninety (90) days of today's date.
