Report
City Council Meeting: April 11, 2023
Agenda Item: 5.F
1 of 2
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Douglas Sloan, City Attorney, City Attorney's Office, Administration
Subject: Adoption of Amended Conflict of Interest Code to Revise the Designated
Positions as Required by California Law To File Statements of Economic
Interest
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council update the City’s Conflict of Interest Code by
adopting the proposed corrected Exhibit 1 reflecting positions subject to reporting
requirements.
Executive Summary
On March 14, 2023, the Council adopted a Resolution adopting an amended City
Conflict of Interest Code. Exhibit 1 to that Resolution outlined the various positions and
reporting categories for each City department. That Exhibit inadvertently omitted the
Finance, Fire, and Human Resources Departments. This Council action will adopt a
corrected Exhibit 1 to attach to the Conflict of Interest Code resolution.
Background
The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires every state and local governmental agency to
review and adopt a conflict of interest code every two years in order to help government
employees avoid financial conflicts. This biannual review includes updating the City’s list
of designated positions that are required to file Statements of Economic Interest, as
reflected in the proposed resolution and Exhibit 1. The Council adopted an update to
the Conflict of Interest Code on March 14, 2023, but that version inadvertently omitted
three departments, so the Council is now being asked to approve a corrected Exhibit 1.

Discussion
A local agency’s conflict of interest code must reflect the current structure of the
organization and properly identify officials and employees who should be filing
Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700s). To ensure conflict of interest codes
remain current and accurate, each local agency is required to review its code at least
every even-numbered year. To comply with these requirements, the Office of the City
Clerk and City Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with Human Resources, have conducted
a review to update the list of designated positions that are required to file Statements of
Economic Interest. Exhibit 1 contains the updated list of designated positions, including
current titles and job duties, as well as disclosure categories.
Environmental Review
The update to the Conflict of Interest Code is not a project for the purpose of CEQA.
