The proposed Resolution adopts an amended appendix to the City's Conflict of Interest Code, listing the officials and designated employees of the City who are required to file periodic statements of economic interest and the disclosure categories under which each such official and designated employee is required to file. RECOMMENDATION: Council adopt the Resolution. BACKGROUND: On March 21,2000, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 2807, adopting by reference the standardized conflict of interest code contained in Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, and any amendments thereto which are adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission. The ordinance requires that the Council set forth by resolution the officials and designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests and the disclosure categories under which each such official and designated employee shall file. On June 6, 2006, the Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-162, directing the City Clerk and the City Attorney to perform the biennial review ofthe code in conformance with Political Reform Act requirements. It has been determined that the appendix to the Code requires amendments to reflect new and amended job titles for certain positions and to delete certain positions which do not meet the criteria for designated employees. Adoption of the proposed Resolution amends the appendix to the local Conflict of Inter est Code accordingly. The Resolution also specifies that all persons designated as filers under the City's Conflict oflnterest Code are "designated employees" for purposes of AB 1234 and, as such, are expected to participate in mandatory ethics training.
