Traffenstedt, Administrative Services Director /City Clerk Maureen Benson, Assistant City Clerk y� September 22, 2010 (CC Meeting of 10/06/10) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Moorpark and Rescinding Resolution No. 2009 -2860 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 87300, et seg., 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 October 2009, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2009 -2860. Since the time of the last update, the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department has been renamed to be the Parks and Recreation Department; new positions have been added, including Administrative Services Manager, City Clerk, Code Compliance Supervisor, and Recreation Superintendent; and existing positions of Administrative Specialist and Deputy City Manager have been added to the Administrative Services Department, requiring amendment of the City's Conflict of Interest Code to incorporate these changes. Attached is a draft resolution which would rescind Resolution No. 2009 -2860, 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 duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). The attached resolution includes City and Redevelopment Agency 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 Redevelopment Agency Treasurer), as Government Code Section 87200, et seq., requires such disclosure as a matter of state law. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution No. 2010- Attachment: Draft Resolution 305 ATTACHMENT RESOLUTION NO. 2010- 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. 2009 -2860 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 to it 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 persons holding the positions listed in Appendix B are designated employees, because it has been determined that those positions make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on financial interests; and WHEREAS, 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 Redevelopment Agency Treasurer), as Government Code Section 87200 et seq. requires such disclosure as a matter of state law, nor does the City's Conflict of Interest Code include a position which is solely clerical, ministerial or manual, or any unsalaried member of a board or commission which is solely advisory; and WHEREAS, the City Council has previously designated positions and disclosure categories in Resolution No. 2009 -2860, which now needs to be rescinded and an updated Conflict of Interest Code adopted, and the City Council determines that the attached Appendices accurately set forth those positions which should be designated and categories of financial interest which should be made reportable. 306 Resolution No 2909-28602010 - Page 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The terms of Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, and any amendments to it duly adopted by the FPPC are hereby incorporated by reference and along with the attached Appendices A and B, in which employees, officials, and consultants are designated and disclosure categories are set forth, constitute the Conflict of Interest Code for the City of Moorpark. If any of the positions listed in Appendix A have a change of title, or if a position is transferred from one City department or office to another, the filing requirement and disclosure category shall remain the same until the next update of the City's Conflict of Interest Code. SECTION 2. Persons holding designated positions shall file a Statement of Economic Interests pursuant to Section 4 of the Conflict of Interest Code (Title 2, Division 6, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730). The City Clerk shall carry out the duties of Filing Officer for the City Council, which is the Code Reviewing Body. SECTION 3. Resolution No. 2009 -2860 is hereby rescinded. SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall forward a copy of this resolution to the FPPC. 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.
