Report
City Council Regular and Special Joint Meeting: January 26, 2016
Agenda Item: 3.N
1 of 2
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Marsha Moutrie, City Attorney, City Attorney's Office
Subject: Resolution Repealing Number 10796 (CCS) and Amending the City's Conflict
of Interest Code to Revise the Designated Positions for Which Statements of
Economic Interest are Required to be Filed
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council update the City's Conflict of Interest Code by
adopting the proposed resolution.
Executive Summary
California law requires every state and local governmental agency to adopt a Conflict of
Interest Code and to periodically update the list of positions for which Statements of
Economic Interest must be filed. The attached resolution fulfills that requirement.
Discussion
Santa Monica's list of designated positions is divided into disclosure categories which
must be periodically reviewed and updated to ensure compliance with disclosure
requirements. Exhibit 1 to the attached Resolution contains revisions reflecting
changes in titles and job duties which have occurred since the City's Conflict of Interest
Code was amended in 2014. Adoption of the accompanying Resolution would fulfill the
requirements of state law by specifying disclosure requirements for the City's
designated positions.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the
recommended action.
