RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 26-4437 approving amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code for the Town of Yountville and rescinding Resolution Number 24-4311.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The Political Reform Act requires public officials of state and local government to disclose their personal financial interests on a Form 700 Statement of Economic Interest. Elected officials, judges, and high-ranking appointed officials generally have the most comprehensive disclosure requirements. (Gov. Code Section 87200.) For most other officials, including employees of state and local government agencies, it is up to the agencies that employ them to decide what their disclosure requirements are.
Each state and local agency must adopt a Conflict of Interest Code which designates individual positions that make or participate in the making of government decisions. A review of the Conflict of Interest Code is done on a biennial basis.
Individuals in designated positions are required to file the Fair Political Practices Commission Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests electronically disclosing financial interests they may have within the Town of Yountville.
