Adopt a Resolution to approve the proposed amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code of the Probation Department of the County of Monterey.
report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to approve the proposed amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code of the Probation Department of the County of Monterey.
SUMMARY:
Following the biennial review of the Conflict of Interest Code, as required by Government Code section 87306.5, the Probation Department of the County of Monterey has amended its Conflict of Interest Code to update the formatting to align with changes to disclosure category definitions.
DISCUSSION:
The Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code section 81000, et. seq.), requires state and local government agencies to adopt Conflict of Interest codes and to periodically review their codes and make necessary changes to these codes. The only change to the existing code is an update to the format of disclosure category definitions. Note that because the last version of the code was adopted in 2004, no Word file is available to redline. Consequently, and because the changes are non-substantive, staff has attached the 2004 Code, unmodified, as Attachment A to this report.
Pursuant to section 82011 and 87303 of the Government Code, the Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body and may approve the code as submitted, revise the proposed code and approve it as revised, or return the proposed code to the agency for revision and resubmission. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code of the Probation Department of the County of Monterey.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code of the County of Monterey Probation Department. The proposed code, as amended and corrected, is lawful under the Political Reform Act of 1974.
FINANCING:
There is no fiscal impact upon the County of Monterey as a result of the proposed amendment.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
Approval of the proposed Conflict of Interest Code fulfills the Board's statutorily designated role as the code reviewing body pursuant to the Political Reform Act.
