From: Sheri Bermejo, Principal Planner
Date: June 1, 2009
Subject: AB 1234 Ethics Training for Local Officials
On October 7, 2005, the Governor signed Assembly Bill No. 1234. This law requires that all
local agencies that provide a stipend to members of a legislative body must provide ethics
training to local agency officials every two years. As new Planning Commissioners, you are
required to complete this ethics training.
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) provides free on-line training directly from their
website. This training may be accessed at the following links (http://localethics.fppc.ca.gov or
http://www.localethics.fppc.ca.gov). This is a self-serve training program, and it is your
obligation to print a certificate and provide it to the City Planning Division.
If you do not have access to a home computer, please feel free to contact me to make
arrangements with the Planning Division to use a City computer.
