Rosemead City Council
Regular Meeting Agenda September 22, 2020
The Political Reform Act (California Government Code 81000) controls conflicts
of interest of public officials through disclosure of financial interest and
prohibitions on participation in the making of decisions in which the official knows
or has reason to know he or she has financial interest. Pursuant to California
Government Code 87306, each city is required to have a conflict of interest code,
review its code biennially, and make amendments, if necessary. The biennial
review requires that the City designate employees who must disclose certain
investments, income, interests in real property, and business positions, and who
must disqualify themselves from making or participating in the making of
governmental decisions affecting those interests.
Recommendation: That the City Council review and approve the changes to the
City’s Conflict of Interest Code by adopting Resolution No. 2020-35, entitled:
