Title
Adopt City Council Resolution Amending the City of Fort Bragg Conflict of Interest Code
Summary
Title 2, Division 6, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) sets forth the State's Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requirements for public agencies to establish a Conflict of Interest Code. The FPPC requires agencies to review their Conflict of Interest Code biennially during even-numbered years and to make any necessary changes/updates. On January 11, 2016, Council reviewed the Conflict of Interest Code and adopted Resolution 3882-2016. Since that time, Title 2, Division 6 of the Code of Regulations has been amended, and a designated employee's job title has changed.
The FPPC's regulations regarding adopting and amending conflict of interest codes state:
When determining whether to amend, an agency should carefully review its current conflict of interest code and consider the following:
Is the current code more than five years old?
Have there been any substantial changes to the agency's organizational structure since the current code was adopted?
Have any positions been eliminated or renamed since the current code was adopted?
Have any new positions been added since the current code was adopted?
Have there been any substantial changes in duties or responsibilities for any positions since the current code was adopted?
If an agency answers “yes” to any of the above questions, most likely its conflict of interest code will need to be amended.
