CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCH, MEETING OF FEBRUARy 16,1999 TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM.- CAROLINA P. BARRERA City Clerk SUBJECT: CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE — AMENDMENT DATE: February 10, 1999 BACKGR In 1976, The City Council established the City's Conflict of Interest Code (Code), in compliancewith the Political Reform Act of 1974. In 1988, the City Council adopted and incorporated Regulation No. 18730, the State's Standard Model Conflict Of Interest Code. Through the Years, under the direction of the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC), the City has amended its Code. ANALYSIS/DISCUS SION: The City Clerk is the official filing Officer for State disclosure forms and so it follows that the City Clerk is also responsible for the review and update of the Code with approval of any changes by the Code Reviewing Body which is the City Council, City Clerk Barrera embarked on the biennial review by consulting with Bes� Best & Krieger's Legal Assistant Dianna Marie Valdez and Deputy City Clerk Teresa Delgado. With input from the City's Department Directors, she conferred with City Manager Henry Garcia. Following a study of the appendix of designated employees and the disclosure categories, it was found that an amendment to the Code was warranted based on changes to the City's organization. The proposed Resolution will address three components of the Code: (1) An updated Est of Designated Employees; (2) an expanded version of disclosure categories for ease of reporting; and, (3) the incorporation by reference ofFPPC's amendment to Regulation 18730. RECQMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends that City Council approve and adopt the proposed Resolution amending the City of Colton's Conflict of Interest Code, pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974.
