RE: Conflict of Interest Code - Agency
As required by the Political Reform Act of 1974, the
Redevelopment Agency of the City of Seal Beach adopted its
Conflict of Interest Code for various departments/
designated employees by Resolution Number 80 -6 in
September, 1980 pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 87300 through 87313.
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.
