Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: September 25, 2002
Subject: Conflict of Interest Code— Policy
At the September 18, 2002 meeting, we had a discussion of the District's Conflict of
Interest Code ordinance. We were in the process of performing the required biennial
review of our ordinance, and the suggestion was made that we not wait two years to add
positions, if it is clear that a new or revised position should file the Statement of
Economic Interest. I was asked to prepare a draft policy for the Board to consider that
would establish a procedure to amend the ordinance at the time a new position is
created or an existing position is revised. Following is my suggested policy.
4.12.030 Amendment of the District Conflict of Interest Code
Whenever a new position is created, or an existing job description is revised, such that
the position would be required to file a Statement of Economic Interest under the terms
of State law, the General Manager shall recommend to the Board that the District
Conflict of Interest Code be amended to add said position.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the Board adopt the policy adding a Section
4.12.030 to the District Code of Policies as set forth above.
