Analysis: City of Huntington Beach Conflict of Interest Code The City Council approved and adopted Resolution No.2018-58 (Attachment 1) on October 15, 2018, which was modeled after the terms of a standard.Conflict of Interest Code promulgated by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section, 18730. This Resolution represents the City's current conflict of interest code. The resolution defines "designated employees" as an officer, employee or consultant whose position entails the making or participation in the making of governmental decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest. Appendix B of said Resolution represents the list of City officials and employees by position titles that deemed "designated employees" and are required to file Statements of Economic Interests Form 700. Biennial Notice and Review FPPC regulations require a biennial review of an agency's conflict of interest code and list of "designated employees" to determine if the current list of designated filers requires amendments due to changes in position titles, positions that may no longer exist, and the creation of new positions that meet the definition of a "designated employee." Since October 2018, the City has implemented a comprehensive organizational restructuring with significant changes with positions and their duties within the City. Additionally, the City restructured and streamlined its 40+ Boards, Commissions, and Committees to ensure the most efficient use of City resources while maintaining an effective level of civic engagement in City affairs. As such, a list of the City's designated officials and employees and their disclosure categories (Exhibit B) requires a complete review and amendments. Staff is commending that the City Council receive and file the 2022 Local Agency Biennial Notice for the City of Huntington Beach (Attachment 2), indicating that amendments to its conflict of interest code are required and direct staff within proposed amendments to the City Council within 90 days.
