MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Ky Spangler, City Clerk
DATE: 10/04/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Conflict of Interest Code of the
City of Moorpark to Incorporate New Positions and Rescinding
Resolution No. 2021-4044
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 87300, et seq., requires every state
and local government agency to adopt and promulgate a Conflict of Interest Code. To
ensure conflict of interest codes remain current and accurate, each local agency is
required to review its code at least biennially. The City’s Conflict of Interest Code was
last amended on September 15, 2021, when the City Council adopted Resolution No.
2021-4044.
Since the time of the last update, the Finance Department was renamed to
Finance/Administrative Service Department as a result of organizational restructuring and
the corresponding Finance/Administrative Services Director position title was created. As
a part of this department restructuring, oversight of the Human Resources Division was
transferred to the Finance/Administrative Services Department; the list of Designated
Positions shown on Appendix A of the attached resolution reflects these reporting
changes. Lastly, the position of Deputy Parks and Recreation Director was added to the
City’s Classification and Salary Plans and has been added as a Designated Position
within the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department.
The attached draft resolution revises the City’s Conflict of Interest Code to include an
updated list of Designated Positions and their Disclosure Categories, and incorporates by
reference the terms of Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730,
and any amendments to it as duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission
(FPPC). The attached resolution includes Designated Positions (also known as
Designated Employees) for the City of Moorpark, Successor Agency, and Successor
Housing Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark and would rescind
Resolution No. 2021-4044.

Honorable City Council
10/04/2023 Regular Meeting
Page 2
The City’s Conflict of Interest Code is intended to list all Designated Positions, even if
there is no current employee with that position title. The City’s Conflict of Interest Code
does not establish any disclosure obligation for the City Councilmembers, Planning
Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney, and Public Officials who manage public
investments (City Treasurer and Successor Agency Treasurer), as Government Code
Section 87200, et seq., requires such disclosure as a matter of state law.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does
not constitute a project, as defined by Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, no environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED)
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-____, amending the City’s Conflict of Interest Code and
