Staff recommends Council adopt a resolution updating the City of Roseville’s Conflict of Interest Code to accurately reflect positions and disclosure requirements subject to the Code.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires local government agencies to adopt and implement a conflict of interest code which establishes categories of public officials and employees who must disclose their personal financial interests.  Filing of Statements of Economic Interest (Form 700) enables the organization to identify areas of potential conflicts so that government officials and employees can refrain from making or participating in government decisions that have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect on his or her personal interests. The California Government Code requires local agencies to annually review its Conflict of Interest Code to accurately reflect required filers of Form 700 as designated by the City Attorney. Council adopted the last update in January 2021.

There is no fiscal impact.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, or is otherwise not considered a project as defined by CEQA Statute §21065 and CEQA State Guidelines §15060(c)(3) and §15378. Adoption of the Fair Political Practices Commission regulations meets the above criteria and is not subject to CEQA. No additional environmental review is required.

Goal A - Remain fiscally responsible in a changing world
