FROM:

Warren Slocum, Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder
|
SUBJECT:
|
Approval of the Conflict of Interest Code for San Mateo County Departments, School Districts, Special Districts and Agencies
|
|
|
RECOMMENDATION:
|
Adopt a Resolution approving the amendments to the Conflict of Interest Codes of County Departments, School Districts, Special Districts and Agencies
|
|
|
BACKGROUND:
|
State law requires each local public agency to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code designating employees, members and consultants who must file annual conflict of interest statements. The Board of Supervisors, as the code-reviewing body for all local agencies in San Mateo County except cities and city agencies, must approve the local agency’s code.
|
|
|
State law also requires a public agency to amend its code to address changed circumstances such as when it adds or deletes positions or changes the duties of positions. The Board of Supervisors, as the code-reviewing body, must approve any changes in a local agency’s code. Every two years, each local agency is notified by the County Clerk to review its code and, if it is necessary to change the code, submit an amended Code to the Board of Supervisors for review and approval.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
In 2009, the Skyline County Water District was dissolved and therefore no longer requires a Conflict of Interest Code. The San Mateo County Investment Advisory Committee’s Conflict of Interest Code was amended to reflect its name change to San Mateo County Treasury Oversight Committee. The attached amendments reflect the changes in affected departments as well as other minor changes. The Resolution approves the Conflict of Interest Code for the amended code for certain County Departments, School Districts, Special Districts and Agencies.
|
|
|
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution and Amendment as to form.
|
|
|
Approval of this Resolution contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 Outcome of a Responsive, Effective and Collaborative Community as County and local governments effectively communicate, collaborate and develop strategic approaches to issues affecting the entire County.
