RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, as the code reviewing body, approve the amended Conflict of Interest Code of the County Administrative Office.
SUMMARY:
The County Administrative Office (CAO) has amended its Conflict of Interest (COI) Code, as required by Government Code, section 87306.5, to reflect changes in its designated positions.

Amendments to local agency COI 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 duty of such positions. The proposed COI Code of the County Administrative Office, as amended, is lawful under the Political Reform Act of 1974.
Pursuant to sections 82011 and 87303 of the Government Code, the Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body and may (1) approve the COI Code amendment as submitted, (2) revise the proposed COI Code amendment, (3) approve the COI Code amendment as revised, and/or (4) return the proposed COI Code to the agency for revision and resubmission.
