City Attorney McMorrow reported that the State’s Political Reform Act’s conflict of interest prohibitions apply only to certain “public officials” and only to governmental decisions that have a financial effect. The Act applies specifically to members of the City Council and the Planning Commission, city managers, city attorneys and other public officials, such as finance directors and others who manage public investments. In addition, the Act requires cities to adopt a conflict of interest code and include therein which “other” officials within the a city must comply with the disclosure and disqualification provisions of the Act. It is being recommended to add the Communications Manager to the Designated Positions List and for Council to consider whether other members of City Committees should be added to Designated Positions List.
