RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors, as code reviewing body, approve the amended Conflict of Interest Code of the County Administrative Office, a copy of which is attached hereto (Attachment A).
SUMMARY:
The County Administrative Office (CAO) - Intergovernmental and Legislative Affairs Division has added positions in the Economic Development Housing Division and a new position to manage the County’s Cannabis program. This update reflects related changes to the CAO’s Conflict of Interest Code as required by Government Code section 87306.5. The amended Conflict of Interest Code updates specified “designated positions” subject to the Code’s requirements.
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 duty of such positions. The proposed Code 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 approve the Code as submitted, revise the proposed Code and approve it as revised, or return the proposed Code to the agency for revision and resubmission.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the amended Code as to form.
FINANCING:
There is no fiscal impact upon the County of Monterey because of the proposed amendments.
