TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: ADRIAN GARCIA, MMC, CHIEF DEPUTY CITY CLERK
DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2018
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE PURSUANT TO THE POLITICAL REFORM ACT OF 1974
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the Political Reform Act (the “Act”), the City Council directed staff to: (1) conduct a review
of the City’s Conflict of Interest Code (“Code”) to determine if a change in the Code was necessary; (2)
file a biennial notice regarding the results of the review no later than the required deadline, and (3)
amend the City’s Code pursuant to the Act, if necessary.
During the review process, staff found that updates and amendments to the City’s Conflict of Interest
Code are necessary. A redlined version of the proposed amended Code is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
1)Adopt Resolution No. 2018-C66 approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code
pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974.
ANALYSIS:
The Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 81000 et seq. (the “Act”), requires all
public agencies to adopt and maintain a Conflict of Interest Code. The Act further requires that agencies
regularly review and update their Codes as necessary when directed by the code-reviewing body or
when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). During this
review, staff found that amendments to the Code are necessary.
Attached is a legislative (redlined) version of the proposed amended Code. The proposed revisions are
based on the establishment and recognition of new positions that must be designated, to revise the titles
of existing positions, to delete titles of positions that have been abolished, to revise disclosure
categories, and to update FPPC regulations and definitional language.

incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing
Regulation 18730 may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to
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
