SUMMARY
The Political Reform Act requires every local agency to periodically review its Conflict of Interest Code to determine whether amendments are needed. The proposed resolution adopts an amended appendix to the City's Conflict of Interest Code, listing the officials and designated employees of the City who are required to file periodic statements of economic interests and the disclosure categories under which each such official and designated employee is required to file, as well as requiring those designated officials and employees to complete biennial ethics training, pursuant to AB 1234. The proposed ordinance amends the disclosure categories to capture all conceivable conflicts of interest for the City's designated employees.
