EXHIBIT “A”
The Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 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 California Code of Regulations Section 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, the standard code 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 regulation and the attached Exhibit B, designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the City of Fort Bragg.
Individuals holding designated positions shall file their statements of economic interests with the City of Fort Bragg, which will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction (Gov. Code Sec. 81008). All statements will be retained by the City of Fort Bragg.

The City Manager' s determination must be in writing, and must show that a particular new position or consultant hired for a “designated position” is performing a range of duties sufficient in scope that the consultant or new employee effectively is acting as a designated employee, and therefore must fully comply with the disclosure requirements described in this Section.
