CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 17,1998 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CAROLINA P. BARRERA City Clerk SUBJECT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE - AMENDMENT DATE: March 5, 1998 BACKGROUND: In 1976 and 1977, the City Council established the City's Conflict of Interest Code in compliance with the Political Reform Act of 1974. In 1988, it augmented "the Code" by incorporating the State's Standard Model Conflict of Interest Code. Through the years, the City has amended the Conflict of Interest Code, specifically the "Designated Employee" identified in Government Code Section 82019: " `Designated employee' means any officer, employee, member, or consultant of any agency whose position with the agency; "(c) is designated in a Conflict of Interest Code because the position entails the making or participation in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest; " `Designated employee' does not include an elected state officer, any unsalaried member of any board of commission which serves a solely advisory function, any public official specified in Section 87200..." The term "designated employee" does not include public officials specified in Government Code Section 87200, namely, mayors, city councilmembers, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers, planning commissioners and other city and county officials who manage public investments. ANALYSIS/DISCUS SION: As the official filing officer, the City Clerk's Office has, as one of its responsibilities, the tracking of who is required to file the Statement of Economic Interest Forms (Form 700) - upon the person's assuming or leaving a position or office. With numerous changes in commission appointments and employee positions, it became necessary to review the "designated" positions list, preliminary to the annual distribution of the form. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council approve and adopt the proposed Resolution amending Appendix "A" pertaining to designated positions, including board and commissions. Attachments: Memorandum dated February 4, 1998 and Resolution with Appendices "A" and `B" Report prepared by T. Delgado, Deputy City Clerk Item # 5 `:A'
