RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors, as the code reviewing body under the Political Reform Act, approve the amended Conflict of Interest Code of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency.
SUMMARY:
Following the biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code as required by Government Code section 87306.5, the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) has amended its Conflict of Interest (COI) Code, as required by Government Code, section 87306.5, to reflect changes in its designated positions. These include removal of the Water Maintenance Superintendent position and the addition of the Maintenance Manager position.
