The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 81000, et seq.) requires state and

conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California
Code of Regulations section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair
Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This
incorporation page, Regulation 18730 and the attached Appendix designating positions
and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of
the City of Azusa (the "City").

economic interests shall file their statements with the City Clerk as the City's Filing
