DISCUSSION:
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code section 81000, et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a conflict-of-interest code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their codes as directed by the code reviewing body or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). The City Council is the City’s code-reviewing body.
As the code-reviewing body, the City Council directed that the Code be review and, if a change in the Code was necessary, that a revised Code be prepared and submitted to the City Council for final approval. During this bi-annual review, staff found that certain amendments to the Code are necessary.
Government Code Section 87303 provides that no code or amendment to a code shall be effective until it has been approved by the code-reviewing body.
Attached is a legislative (redlined) version of the proposed amended Code. The proposed revisions are based on the need to designate new positions and delete positions due to position no longer existing within the organization. All positions affected by this amendment have been given proper notice of this meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
