REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Chair and Members of the Agency
From:Grant Yates, Executive Director
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 SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.
2014-01 UPDATING THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE FOR THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY
OF 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 the 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 Successor Agency 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.
