Subject: Updating the Conflict of Interest Policy

Pass a Motion to 1) adopt Resolution 2024-XX and 2) approve the amendments to the City’s Conflict of Interest Policy to adhere to current standards set forth by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) and gain compliance with the FPPC Standards.
Rationale for Recommendation:
The FPPC recommends that an Agency’s Conflict of Interest Policy be no older than five (5) years, if it is than an update must occur. If there have been any amendments to the positions listed in the existing policy (reclassifications, separation of departments, adding positions, etc.) there must be a policy update.
Background:
The City’s current Conflict of Interest Policy was adopted and put into place on June 7, 2022. Due to changes in staffing, there is a need for an update to this policy.
