A designated employee is an officer, employee, member or consultant of an agency whose position is designated because the position entails the making or participation in the making of governmental decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest. Participating in the making of a decision means the person negotiates, without significant substantive review, with a governmental entity or private person(s) regarding the decision, or, advises or makes recommendations to the decision maker(s) by conducting research or an investigation, preparing or presenting a report, analysis or opinion which requires the exercise of judgment on the part of the employee and the employee is attempting to • influence the decision. State law also requires the local agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code in each even numbered year and if necessary make amendments thereto should there be additional designated positions, renaming or deletion of previously designated positions, changes to disclosure categories, etc. The last amendment of the Agency's Conflict of Interest Code was in December, 1994 making minor changes by Resolution Number 94 -2, and in 1998 and 2000 it was determined that no changes were necessary. AGENDA ITEM S The proposed amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code are minor in nature, involving only some language changes for clarity and compliance with current law, deletion of Form 700 specifically named Schedule(s) as they change frequently with revised 700 Forms, and adoption of the most recent Standard Conflict of Interest Code prepared by the Fair Political Practices Commission. There are no changes to the Designated Positions or the Disclosure Categories. Recommended Action: Adopt the proposed Resolution amending the Agency's Conflict of Interest Code, as required by State law, which incorporates by reference the most recent Standard Conflict o±Interest Code adopted by the FPPC. ! i oar ne Yeo, city Clerk 't of Seal Beach
