COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: September 16, 1998
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: ORRY P. KORB, ESQ. TOWN ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: ACCEPT REPORT ON REVIEW OF TOWN CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE TO UPDATE
DESIGNATED POSITIONS (DIVISION 6 OF ARTICLE III OF CHAPTER 4)
RECOMMENDATION:
Accept report on accuracy and currency of the Town Conflict of Interest Code to update designated positions.
DISCUSSION:
Government Code § 87306.5 requires the Town to review its Conflict of Interest Code every two years in order to ensure
that the Code reflects current Town positions that should be required to disclose economic interests.
The Town last updated its Conflict of Interest Code by Ordinance No. 2009 in 1996, to reflect changes in certain
Planning Department classifications. A number of changes have occurred since that time. They include the elimination
of the positions of Director of Parks, Forestry & Maintenance and Director of Building & Engineering Services, and the
creation of the positions of Director of Parks and Public Works, Assistant Planning Director, Assistant Town
Engineer/Information Systems Manager, Assistant Civil Engineer and Senior Building Inspector. The changes are
indicated on the attached. In all other aspects, the Code appears to conform to State statutory requirements.
An ordinance revising the designated positions in the Conflict of Interest Code will be brought forward for Council
consideration on October 5, 1998.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
