DISCUSSION The Political Reform Act (PRA) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate a Conflict of Interest Code and designate positions that are required to file Statements of Economic Interests with the City Clerk. In addition, the PRA requires that the City Council review its conflict of interest code biennially to determine if it is accurate or must be amended. A Conflict of Interest Code must contain the following three basic components: 1. Language incorporating the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) Regulations; or the basic provisions required in Government Code § 87302. 2. A list of the designated positions that make and/or participate in making governmental decisions. 3. Disclosure categories specifying financial interests that designated positions must disclose. Resolution No. 5044 was adopted in 1983 incorporating by reference the FPPC's standard model code. Conflict of interest regulations are found in Chapter 7 of Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. The current FPPC standard model code is available for review in the Council Office. The City's Conflict of Interest Code has been updated regularly, primarily to reflect changes in job titles, positions and classifications. In .addition, certain advisory bodies are on the list of designated positions. Recently staff conducted a review of the Code, as required by State law, and determined that revisions are needed to make the Code consistent with current job titles, positions and classifications. Note: The list of designated positions does not include the Mayor and Council Members, Planning Commissioners, City Administrative Officer, City Attorney and City Finance Director. These officials are required to file statements of economic interests pursuant to Government Code § 87200, and are therefore not included in the List of Designated Positions required to file pursuant to the City's Conflict of Interest Code.
