title
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Conflict of Interest Code for the Napa Flood Control and Water Conservation District. (No Fiscal Impact)
body
BACKGROUND
In 1974, the voters of California approved the Political Reform Act of 1974 (“the Act,” Government Code section 81000 et seq.). Among other things, the Act requires every agency to adopt and promulgate a conflict of interest code. (Section 87300.) For this purpose, an “agency” includes any local government agency. An agency may adopt its code by incorporating by reference the model conflict of interest code set forth in California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 18730.
The Political Reform Act allows codes to be amended as needed. After review, it is now necessary to further amend the Code to modify the location where the original Conflict of Interest Statements will be retained upon filing to allow for electronic filing and to amend the citation to the Public Records Act to reflect the recodification in 2021.
REQUESTED ACTION:
Adopt a Resolution to amend the Conflict of Interest Code to allow for electronic filling for the Napa Flood Control and Water Conservation District and to update the citation reference to the Public Records Act.
