TITLE: Resolution Updating the List of
Designated Positions Required to File
Statements of Economic Interest
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mountain View Updating the List of Designated Positions Required to File Statements of Economic Interest, to be read in title only, further reading waived (Attachment 1 to the Council report).
BACKGROUND
Under the California Political Reform Act, the City is required to designate employees and officials whose positions involve decision- making or participation in decision -making that may affect economic interests of the official or employee. Once designated, the individual occupying the position is required to make certain disclosures in a Statement of Economic Interest ( “SEI”) regarding their sources of income, investments, interest in real properties, and any business positions held outside of their employment with the City, in order to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
Government Code Section 87200 specifically requires the following positions to file SEI forms:
mayors, city councilmembers, planning commissioners, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers, and other public officials who manage public investments. State law further requires local agencies to designate additional positions that may have potential conflicts of interest and also place those positions on the list. State law requires that local agencies update this list of designated positions biennially.
ANALYSIS
The attached list (Exhibit A to the Resolution), designated as Appendix A to the City of Mountain View Conflict of Interest Code, notes the positions and officials who are required to file an SEI form. It reflects the addition, elimination, renaming, reclassification, and new designation of positions and officials in the City.

September 22, 2026
The following positions were created after the previous list of designated positions was approved: Assistant Human Resources Director , Intergovernmental Relations Manager, and Principal Housing Officer. Not all of these new positions are currently filled.
The following position titles have been changed or the positions were reclassified: Advanced Planning Manager to Planning Manager, and Development Services Coordinator to Permit Center Coordinator.
The Transportation Planner position has been reclassified due to an organizational structure change, resulting in two new positions: Chief Transportation Officer and Senior Transportation Planner.
The proposed amendments update the City’s list and the disclosure categories shown indicate the scope of financial disclosures which must be made by the individuals in particular positions.
Appendix B to the City of Mountain View Conflict of Interest Code (Exhibit B to the Resolution) identifies the disclosure categories.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact.
CONCLUSION
In accordance with the requirements of the California Political Reform Act, the Conflict of Interest Code should be updated to include the current positions and officials required to complete a Statement of Economic Interest form.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not adopt a resolution updating the list of designated positions.
