SUBJECT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
BIENNIAL UPDATE
DATE: August 28, 2026
COUNCIL DISTRICT: CITYWIDE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution amending the Conflict of Interest Code for the City of San José.
OUTCOME
The recommended action ensures compliance with the California Political Reform Act and updates the list of those officers and employees in designated positions who are required to file the California Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Form 700- Statement of Economic Interests for the City of San Jose.
BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires all public officials, employees, and consultants who make or participate in the making of government decisions to disclose any economic interests that could be affected by those decisions. The City Council has previously adopted by resolution a Conflict of Interest Code for the City of San Jose, which sets forth reporting requirements for all City departments and certain boards and commissions. Per the California Government Code, the Conflict of Interest Code must be updated biennially of each even-numbered year.
ANALYSIS
The City Council last adopted its biennial Conflict of Interest Code on September 10, 2024.
As part of the 2026 biennial review, City departments have identified additional changes, including newly created positions, which are redlined in the attached resolution.
The proposed resolution and appendices reflect the changes for certain departments, boards and commissions, and positions which are being added to or deleted from the list of designated positions.
Upon Council approval, the Office of the City Clerk will notify the affected employees as to their filing status.
