1 CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE
CITY OF CORONA
(Amended December 718, 20224 )
The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code § 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (2 Cal. Code Regs. § 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be 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 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 Corona (the “City”).
All officials and designated positions required to submit a statement of economic interests shall file their statements with the City Clerk as the City’s Filing Officer.
The City Clerk shall make and retain a copy of all statements filed by the Mayor, Members of the City Council and Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney/Legal & Risk Management Director and City Treasurer, and forward the originals of such statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. The City Clerk shall retain the originals of the statements filed by all other officials and designated positions and will make all retained statements available for public inspection and reproduction during regular business hours. (Gov. Code § 81008.)
AB 1234 Training: Government Code Section 53234-53235.2 requires certain ethics training to be completed periodically by certain elected and appointed officials, as well as any other designated employees, and requires in the City Clerk to maintain completion records for such training (“AB 1234 Training”). All employees in all designated positions shall continue to comply as required by the AB 1234 Training requirements (currently, biennially).
