Brown, MMC City Clerk (949) 644 -3005 or (brown @newportbeachca.gov SUBJECT: RESOLUTION UPDATING THE LIST OF DESIGNATED EMPLOYEES FOR 2011 UNDER THE CITY'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 2011 - adopting the 2011 Designated Employees List. DISCUSSION: Background: The City's Conflict of Interest Code was first adopted in 1977 in response to the enactment of the 1974 Political Reform Act ( "The Act "). In February of 1990 the City updated its Conflict of Interest Code pursuant to Section 18730 of the Regulations adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission. The City's Conflict of Interest Code consists of two basic parts: 1. The body of the code which contains the provisions required by Section 87302 of the Act, such as the manner of reporting financial interests and the method to be used by designated positions when they are required to disqualify themselves from participating in decisions; and 2. The Appendix to the code, which lists the designated positions within the agency and the corresponding disclosure categories for each position. Designated Employee List January 11, 2011 Page 2 Prior to the time the disclosure forms are distributed on an annual basis, the list is reviewed with the department directors to determine if there are additions or deletions that need to be made. The positions on the attached Designated Employees List were determined in cooperation with the department heads by evaluating each position to determine their job duties and corresponding disclosure categories. The Disclosure Categories are listed beside each listed position and indicate the different interests which employees must disclose depending upon whether their duties involve a broad range of duties or involve specific duties such as contracting or decisions which might affect real property interests. Not listed on the Designated Employees List are the City Council, Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney, and Administrative Services Director. These officeholders and employees are required to file statements of economic interest under Government Code Section 87200 of the Political Reform Act rather than pursuant to the City's Conflict of Interest Code and their statements are filed with the Fair Political Practices Commission.
