MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL CM'OF MOORPARK, A I °''+°i AGENDA REPORT city Council Noting of / ®3® "/ TO: Honorable City Council ACTION: % FROM; Maureen Benson, City Clerk � ._- DATE: November 6, 2014 (CC Meeting of 12/3/2014) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Moorpark and Rescinding Resolution No. 2014-3308 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. The City's Conflict of Interest Code was last amended in July of 2014, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2014-3308. Since the time of the last update, the position for a Senior Human Resources Analyst has been added to the Administrative Services Department, the Assistant Planner I position has been deleted and designations changed to have Associate Planner I and Associate Planner II positions in the Community Development Department, the Recreation Superintendent position has been deleted from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and Irrigation Specialist and Recreation Services Manager added, and the position of Police Chief has been added as a designated position; all these changes require amendment of the City's Conflict of Interest Code to incorporate the changes. Attached is a draft resolution which would rescind Resolution No. 2014-3308, revise the City's Conflict of Interest Code to include an updated list of Designated Employees and the Disclosure Categories, and incorporate 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 City and Successor Agency and Successor Housing Agency of the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Moorpark Designated Employees. 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2014- , rescinding Resolution No. 2014-3308. Attachment: Draft Resolution 215 RESOLUTION NO. 2014- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2014-3308 WHEREAS, 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; and WHEREAS, the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has adopted a regulation which contains the terms of a standard model Conflict of Interest Code (Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730), which can be incorporated by reference, and which may be amended by the FPPC to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act after public notice and hearings conducted by the FPPC pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, Government Code Sections 11370, et seq.; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the terms of Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, and any amendments thereto duly adopted by the FPPC, along with the attached Appendices A and B, accurately set forth the City's Conflict of Interest Code, including those positions which should be designated, and the categories of financial interests which should be made reportable; and WHEREAS, the City Council has previously designated positions and disclosure categories in Resolution No. 2014-3308, which now needs to be rescinded and an updated Conflict of Interest Code adopted to: 1) Add Senior Human Resources Analyst position to the Administrative Services Department; 2) Change Associate Planner position to Associate Planner I and Associate Planner II in the Community Development Department; 3) Change Recreation Superintendent to Recreation Services Manager position and add Irrigation Specialist position to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department; 4) Add Public Works Technician position to Public Works Department; and 5) Add the position of Police Chief to Section IX.

Resolution No. 2014-3308 is hereby rescinded. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and shall cause a certified resolution to be filed in the book of original resolutions. 217 Resolution No. 2014- Page 3 PASSED AND ADOPTED this 3rd day of December, 2014.
