Report Title: Conflict of Interest Code for the Risk Management Department
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE Conflict of Interest Code for the Risk Management Department (“Department”).
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Department has adopted a new Conflict of Interest Code and submitted the new code, attached as Exhibit A, to the Board for approval pursuant to Government Code sections 87306 and 87306.5.
The Department previously operated under the conflict of interest code of the County Administrator’s Office (“CAO”). The CAO recently amended its code to reflect that the Department would begin to operate under a separate conflict of interest code. Accordingly, the Department has now adopted a separate conflict of interest code to reflect its function as a separate and distinct County department.
The adoption of this new conflict of interest code for the Department satisfies the requirements for such a code under state law by incorporating the provisions of 2 CCR 18730 and any amendments to it adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission and by specifying disclosure categories and designated positions that must file statements of economic interests.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
