Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
October 9, 2010: Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 10-173. March 2, 2013: Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 13-028. June 5, 2018: Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 18-077.
Summary of Request:
It is requested that the Board of Supervisors adopt the proposed Resolution amending the current Conflict of Interest Code to delete Articles I-V, and update Appendix A.
The basis of the recommendation for the deletion of Articles I-V is to limit the County’s Conflict of Interest Code, which the County is required to adopt pursuant to the Political Reform Act, (California Government Code Section 81000, et seq.), and which designates certain County employees as Form 700 filers, as solely for that statutorily required purpose. The substance of the deleted articles I-V will be included in a separate County policy applicable to all County employees, that sets forth rules for outside employment and conflict-of-interest activities, and which is brought forth concurrently with the proposed amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code.
The proposed amendments to Appendix A include updates to County positions and reflect the creation and dissolution of Board of Commission since the last code update. The redlined copy of the proposed changes shows amendments due to changes to County department structure and positions that were previously not designated as Form 700 filers. Positions that are being added to the Conflict of Interest Code are highlighted in yellow on the redlined copy.

Decline to adopt Resolution and provide further direction to staff.
