SUBJECT: Resolution adopting an amended conflict of interest code
[Document Description]
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution
BACKGROUND:
The Political Reform Act prohibits a public official from using his or her official position to influence a governmental decision in which he or she has a financial interest. Every state and local agency must adopt a conflict of interest code that identifies all officials and employees within the agency who make governmental decisions based on the positions they hold. The individuals in these designated positions must disclose their financial interests as identified in an agency's conflict of interest code. Financial interests are disclosed annually on a form called Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700).
In addition, each local agency is required to conduct a biennial review of its conflict of interest code. This review includes evaluating existing and newly created positions and subsequently amending the conflict of interest code accordingly.
The City Council previously adopted an amended conflict of interest code on September 2, 2024.

This Action will not result in any use of City General Funds.
