Under existing California law, a member of a board or commission may not make, participate in making, or attempt to influence a governmental decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision could have a material financial effect on that member, the member’s immediate family, or any of his or her financial interests. There is also a special category of conflicts of interest which strictly forbids members and/or their employers from having financial interests in city contracts.

Careful consideration should be given to this issue and applicants are encouraged to contact the City Clerk’s Office if they have any questions.

NOTICE REGARDING INCOMPATIBLE OFFICES
Under existing California law, no member of City boards or commissions may simultaneously hold two public offices that are incompatible. (California Government Code Section 1099) Offices are incompatible if one of the offices has supervisory, auditory or removal power over the other, if there would be any significant clash of duties or loyalties between the offices, or if public policy considerations make it improper for one person to hold both offices.

Do you currently hold a position as an appointed or elected member of a governmental board, commission, committee, or other body?

The DMV records check relates to City liability issues since Commissioners occasionally rive their personal vehicles to public outreach events. The background check takes approximately two weeks to complete.
