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.

Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code of the Probation Department of the County of Monterey.
