53234-53235) in 2005 to require local agency officials to receive training in local
government ethics laws and principles before January 1, 2007 and complete the
two hour training once every two years there after. AB1234 applies to all cities,
counties, and districts. Officials who must receive ethics training under AB1234
include elected officials, appointed boards, commissions, and committee
members if those boards obtain a stipend or reimbursement for expenses, and
staff members designated to receive ethics training. The City did not require staff
members to receive this training until this year, those staff members that file the
FPPC form 700 (Statement of Economic Interest) are required to complete the
AB1234 training before January 1, 2009 -this can be done by attending a
training session or on-line (California State Office of the Attorney General).
Certificates for those completing the training are on file in the Office of the City
Clerk.
