REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Grant Yates, City Manager
Prepared by: Susan M. Domen, MMC
Date:September 27, 2016
Subject:Biennial Review of the Conflict of Interest Code
Recommendation
adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 2014-039 UPDATING THE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST CODE FOR THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
Background
The Political Reform Act requires all local governmental agencies to review its Conflict of
Interest Code biennially, in even numbered years to determine if its Code requires amendment.
The City Council, as the Code Reviewing Body for all agencies under its jurisdiction, must
approve the Conflict of Interest Code. The City Clerk has undertaken this review and
determined that amendments to the City’s and Successor Agency’s Conflict of Interest Code are
required. Certain officials including City Council/Successor Agency Members, the City
Treasurer, the City Manager/Executive Director and the City Attorney/Agency Counsel are
subject to mandatory disclosure under Government Code Section 87200 and are included for
clarity purposes. The adopted code requires designated employees to file an annual Statement
of Economic Interest pursuant to the FPPC’s regulations 18720 and 18730.
Discussion
During the review of the Conflict of Interest Code adopted by the City previously, some areas for
clarification and upgrading to current industry standards were identified. The listing of
designated employees has been updated to include all current positions within the City, that
qualify as filers, and to remove those that are no longer in existence. A redline version of this
has been provided in Exhibit B.
Additionally, the Disclosure Categories listing (Exhibit C) has been modified to include a clearer
definition of filers and the schedules that they must file, in alignment with the Fair Political
Practices Commission requirements.
