CITY OF VERNON ) I do hereby certify that the attached is a true copy of Resolution No. 2025-034 that was passed and adopted at the Regular Meeting held on November 18, 2025, by the following vote: AYES: Larios, Merlo, Rivera, Ybarra, Lopez NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: __________________________ GENOVEVA ROCHA, City Clerk        1 1 7 8 City Council Agenda Report Meeting Date:November 18, 2025 From:Genoveva Rocha, City Clerk Department:City Clerk Submitted by:Sandra Dolson, Deputy City Clerk Subject Conflict of Interest Code (Statement of Economic Interests) Recommendation Adopt Resolution No. 2025-034 approving and adopting the amended Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974 and repealing Resolution No. 2024-019. Background The Political Reform Act of 1974 is a California law designed to promote transparency in government and establishes guidelines for disclosure of financial interests. Government Code Section 8100 et seq. (the “Act”), requires all public agencies to adopt and maintain a Conflict-of- Interest Code. The Act further requires that agencies regularly review and update their Codes as necessary, as directed by the code-reviewing body, the City Council is the City’s code-reviewing body, or when change is necessitated by changed circumstances (Sections 87306 and 87306.5). During this review, staff found that amendments to the Code are necessary. A Conflict-of-Interest Code requires certain employees who are most likely to be in a governmental decision-making capacity and where potential conflicts may occur to file an annual disclosure form. The Statement of Economic Interest Form, also known as the Form 700, provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways: It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances; and It serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest The Code was last amended on September 17, 2024, when the Vernon City Council adopted Resolution No. 2024-019. Updates to the current code are necessary due to changes in job titles, as well as the addition and removal of certain positions, and the designation of filing categories. Designated positions can only be required to disclose interests that they may effect in the course of performing the position’s duties. The proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code outlines these recommended changes. Attachment No. 2 outlines the changes to Code, showing both the current positions and the updates. Attachment No. 3 is the proposed amended Conflict of Interest Code which includes all designated positions and the disclosure filing categories. The disclosure categories listed identify the types of economic interests that the designated position must disclose for each disclosure category to which the designated position is assigned. “Investment” means financial interest in any business entity (including a consulting business or other independent contracting business) and are reportable if they are either located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or have done business during the previous two years in the jurisdiction of the City. Individuals in positions designated by the Conflict-of-Interest Code are required to file an annual 1 1 7 8 Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700). This statement must reflect activities from the previous calendar year and be submitted using the City’s electronic filing system. Officials who are specified in Government Code section 87200 (including officials who manage public investments, as defined by 2 Cal. Code of Regs. § 18701 (b), are not subject to the Agency’s Conflict of Interest Code, but are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Political Reform Act, Government Code section 87100, et seq.

A code so amended or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a manner substantially equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et seq. The requirements of a conflict of interest code are in addition to other requirements of the Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section 87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest. (b) The terms of a conflict of interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this regulation are as follows: (1) Section 1. Definitions. The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq. ), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code.

This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq. In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who are designated in a conflict of interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply: (A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction of the other agency; (B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and (C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies.1 Such persons are covered by this code for disqualification purposes only.

(9.3) Section 9.3. Legally Required Participation. No designated employee shall be prevented from making or participating in the making of any decision to the extent the employee's participation is legally required for the decision to be made. 13 The fact that the vote of a designated employee who is on a voting body is needed to break a tie does not make the employees' participation legally required for purposes of this section. (9.5) Section 9.5. Disqualification of State Officers and Employees. In addition to the general disqualification provisions of section 9, no state administrative official shall make, participate in making, or use the official's position to influence any governmental decision directly relating to any contract where the state administrative official knows or has reason to know that any party to the contract is a person with whom the state administrative official, or any member of the official's immediate family has, within 12 months prior to the time when the official action is to be taken: (A) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public, regarding any investment or interest in real property; or (B) Engaged in a business transaction or transactions on terms not available to members of the public regarding the rendering of goods or services totaling in value $1,000 or more. (10) Section 10. Disclosure of Disqualifying Interest. When a designated employee determines that the employee should not make a governmental decision because the employee has a disqualifying interest in it, the determination not to act may be accompanied by disclosure of the disqualifying interest. (11) Section 11. Assistance of the Commission and Counsel. Any designated employee who is unsure of the duties under this code may request assistance from the Fair Political Practices Commission pursuant to Section 83114 and Regulations 18329 and 18329.5 or from the attorney for the employee's agency, provided that nothing in this section requires the attorney for the agency to issue any formal or informal opinion. (12) Section 12. Violations. 14 This code has the force and effect of law. Designated employees violating any provision of this code are subject to the administrative, criminal and civil sanctions provided in the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000-91014. In addition, a decision in relation to which a violation of the disqualification provisions of this code or of Section 87100 or 87450 has occurred may be set aside as void pursuant to Section 91003. ____________________ 1 Designated employees who are required to file statements of economic interests under any other agency's conflict of interest code, or under article 2 for a different jurisdiction, may expand their statement of economic interests to cover reportable interests in both jurisdictions, and file copies of this expanded statement with both entities in lieu of filing separate and distinct statements, provided that each copy of such expanded statement filed in place of an original is signed and verified by the designated employee as if it were an original. See Section 81004. 2 See Section 81010 and Regulation 18115 for the duties of filing officers and persons in agencies who make and retain copies of statements and forward the originals to the filing officer. 3 For the purpose of disclosure only (not disqualification), an interest in real property does not include the principal residence of the filer. 4 Investments and interests in real property which have a fair market value of less than $2,000 are not investments and interests in real property within the meaning of the Political Reform Act. However, investments or interests in real property of an individual include those held by the individual's spouse and dependent children as well as a pro rata share of any investment or interest in real property of any business entity or trust in which the individual, spouse and dependent children own, in the aggregate, a direct, indirect or beneficial interest of 10 percent or greater. 15 5 A designated employee's income includes the employee's community property interest in the income of the employee's spouse but does not include salary or reimbursement for expenses received from a state, local or federal government agency. 6 Income of a business entity is reportable if the direct, indirect or beneficial interest of the filer and the filer's spouse in the business entity aggregates a 10 percent or greater interest. In addition, the disclosure of persons who are clients or customers of a business entity is required only if the clients or customers are within one of the disclosure categories of the filer.
