AMENDMENT TO CITY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt a resolution amending the Conflict of Interest Code.
BACKGROUND
The City Council originally adopted the City of Santa Clarita% Conflict of Interest Code on
December 15, 1987 by Resolution 87-13. On February 25, 2003 the City Council adopted
Resolution 03-29 incorporating by reference the Fair Political Practices Commission's (FPPC)
standard conflict of interest code, which may be amended by the FPPC to conform to
amendments in the Political Reform Act. This year, one of the most significant changes includes
the gift limit. The Political Reform Act was amended to increase the gift limit from $360 to
$390, in aggregate, gifts from a single source in a calendar year.
Additionally, the Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 18100, et seq.) requires every
local government agency to review its conflict of interest code biennially or as needed to
determine if it is accurate or if the code should be amended. Due to position title changes, staff
has determined that the list of designated employees as Exhibit "B" to the code needs to be
amended to add the following position titles:
Communications Manager
Senior IT Analyst
and to delete the following position title:
Public Information Officer
Adopted. ePe�o- -1i
A resolution has been prepared for Council adoption amending the code to reflect these changes.
