Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Monterey County Water Resources Agency Board of Directors:
Approve an Amendment to the Conflict of Interest Code for the Monterey County Water Resources Agency.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Amendments to local agency Conflict of Interest Codes 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 duties of designated positions.
Staff recommends that the Board revise the proposed Conflict of Interest Code of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency to add the following language:
“For purposes of this Conflict of Interest Code, the jurisdiction of the Agency is entirely within the County of Monterey.”
The statement of geographical jurisdiction of the Agency establishes that the Board is the appropriate code reviewing body.
The Conflict of Interest Code also updates the number of already listed designated positions and adds a designated position given staffing changes.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt and approve the Agency’s amended Conflict of Interest Code as revised.
If approved, staff will forward the Conflict of Interest Code amendment to the County Board of Supervisors for approval.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Office of the County Counsel reviewed this amendment as to form.
FINANCING:
There is no fiscal impact upon the Agency as a result of the proposed amendment.
