RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, as code reviewing body, adopt a Resolution approving the proposed amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code of the Office of the Auditor-Controller of Monterey County, a copy of which is attached hereto (Attachment A).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Political Reform Act of 1974 (Government Code section 810000, et. seq.), requires state and local government agencies to adopt Conflict of Interest codes and to periodically review and make changes to their codes, as necessitated by changed circumstances. Amendments to local agency Conflict of Interest Code are authorized by section 87306 of the Government Code whenever changes are required by changed circumstances, by creation or deletion of designated positions, or by changes in the duty of such positions.
Following the biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code as required by Government Code section 87306.5, the Office of the Auditor-Controller of Monterey County proposes amending its Conflict of Interest Code to delete an eliminated position title.
Pursuant to sections 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 for revision and resubmission. Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approved the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code of the Office of the Auditor-Controller of Monterey County, a copy of which is attached hereto (Attachment A).

FINANCING:
