REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Adopt a Resolution Amending the City of Sunnyvale Conflict of Interest Code
Report
DISCUSSION
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its Conflict of Interest Code biennially to determine if the Code is accurate, or alternatively, that the Code must be amended. An amendment would be necessary to include new positions which have either been added to or deleted from the City's classification plan and salary resolution, revise titles of existing positions, or revise disclosure categories.
The City's Conflict of Interest Code was last amended on November 13, 2012. Consistent with requirements of the Political Reform Act, the City conducted a biennial review of its Conflict of Interest Code and determined that an amendment is necessary. This action was taken on September 30, 2014 (RTC 14-0813), and Council directed staff to submit the proposed revisions to Council for approval within 90 days. The review period has provided officers, employees, members, consultants of the agency and residents an opportunity to review the proposed amendments to the Code.
Staff recommends Council adopt the proposed resolution (Attachment 1) amending the Conflict of Interest Code.
