Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution No. 2022-xx revising the list of designated positions in the City’s Conflict of Interest Code.
BACKGROUND:
The Political Reform Act in Government Code Section 87303 requires the City to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code and for the Code to be reviewed biennially. The City’sConflict of Interest Code was last amended on September 1, 2020, by Resolution No. 22-48.
ANALYSIS:
Government Code Section 87200 designates the officials required to file statement of economic interests. The Costa Mesa officials include, City Councilmembers, City Manager, City Attorney, Planning Commissioners, and Finance Director. Additionally, the City’sConflict of Interest Code must designate the positions within the City that involve the making or participation in the making of decisions that may have a material effect on any financial interest. This year, the "designated positions”(Attachment 1) have been updated to reflect positions which have been added, deleted, or undergone a title change. Resolution 22-xx adopts the City’sConflict of Interest Code and repeals the previous code.
