TITLE
Recommendation that City Council receive and approve changes to department and commission Conflict of Interest Codes filed, in compliance with State law, as of October 1, 2010; and direct that non-compliant filing departments and commissions complete their Biennial Code Review and submit Code revisions to the City Clerk Department no later than November 15, 2010 for report back to the City Council December 7, 2010.
DISCUSSION
The Political Reform Act requires the City to notify all departments and advisory bodies, commissions, and committees that have previously adopted conflict of interest codes. Government Code Section 87306.5, effective 1990, requires that each local government agency conduct a review of its conflict of interest codes every other year. If any amendments are necessary, the proposed amendment(s) should be submitted to the City Council no later than October 1, 2010. Beginning in August, all departments were advised of the review requirement and deadline date.
