DECISION -MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found that Council Member Patricia
Aguilar has real property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of District 20 Zone 6 which is the
subject of this action; District 20 Zone 6 is included in Resolution A. Consequently, ,,UFSuant to Calife
Code of Regulations Title 2, sections 19700 and this item presents a disqualifying real
pFapeFty r -elated financial confliet of interest under- the Political Re -k -w -M. Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, e
^^' foF the above identified member. However, as the decision solely concerns repairs, replacement or
maintenance of existing streets, water, sewer, storm drainage or similar facilities, it does not present a real
property -related conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code � 87100, et seq.)
pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 2, Sections 18700 and 18702.2(c)(1). Further, to the
extent this decision would have a reasonably foreseeable financial effect on the member's real property, the
effect would be nominal, inconsequential, or insignificant. Consequently, pursuant to California Code of
Regulations Title 2, sections 18700 and 187020, this item does not present a real property -related
conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov't Code § 87100, etsec ).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact
that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
