Thank you. Attachment c: Resolution No. 2014-01 STAFF REPORT CITYADi'dl1NISIRATION STAFF REPORT City Clerk Department DATE: January 21, 2014 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Ana Barcia, Deputy City Clerk I'? RE: Approve Resolution Amending the City of Vernon Conflict of Interest Code to Include Three Newly Identified Filers and to Update Disclosure Requirements Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council: Find that the approval of the resolution amending the Conflict of Interest Code is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") in accordance with Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment; and 2. Approve the resolution amending the Conflict of Interest Code to require three newly identified staff positions to file "Statement of Economic Interest" Forms (known as the "Form 700"), and update certain disclosure requirements. 3. Authorize staff to file all necessary and reasonable related documentation, including the "Agency Report of New Positions" (known as "Form 804"). Backeround The Political Reform Act requires the City to adopt and update its Conflict of Interest Code ("Code"). The Code must enumerate the positions within the City "which involve the making or participation in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest of that position." The Code must also specify the categories of financial disclosure that are required for each designated position. Each individual holding a position listed within the Code must file a "Statement of Economic Interest" (the "Form 700") and disclose their financial interests in the specified categories. As part of the City's Good Governance Reform efforts and in compliance with the required biennial review, on November 20, 2012 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-225 to update its Code. Since then, the City filled three positions that are not listed within the Code. The City hired a Sr. Human Resources Analyst on September 30, 2013, a Resource Planner on December 3, 2013 and an Electrical Engineer on January 14, 2014. Staff recommends that the Code be updated to require individuals holding such positions to meet specified disclosure requirements. Staff also recommends a slight increase to the disclosure requirements for the position of Resource Scheduler to better align with the duties of that position. The proposed Resolution to amend the Code also adds language to clarify that the city does not require more disclosure than is authorized by law. The attached Form 804's capture the new positions being requested, the disclosure categories and the job descriptions.
