A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
AMENDING THE CITY OF LYNWOOD'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE,
WHICH INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE PREPARED BY THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION AND
REPEALING CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION NO. 2013-047
BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD
HEREBY FINDS, ORDERS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City Council of the City of Lynwood finds, determines, and
declares as follows:
A. The Political Reform Act of 1974 (Political Reform Act), California
Government Code Section 81000 et seq., requires a city to adopt and
periodically review its conflict of interest code and make amendments as
and when appropriate.
B. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a Model Conflict of
Interest Code (the "Model Code"). The Model Code, which is codified at 2
California Code of Regulations Section 18730, may be incorporated by
reference as a city's conflict of interest code.
C. The City's Conflict of Interest Code designates certain City officials and
employees as being required to disclose their financial interest(s) and
sets forth the type of financial interests to be disclosed, as required by the
Political Reform Act.
D. On April 2, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2006-207
amending its Conflict of Interest Code by incorporating, by reference, the
Model Code, and repealing Resolution Nos. 83-32, 96-156, 98-202, 02-
130, and 04-152.
E. The Political Reform Act requires the City to review and update its Conflict
of Interest Code every two years. However, because the City is unable to
locate its Conflict of Interest Code adopted by Resolution No. 2006-207,
the Conflict of Interest Code approved by Resolution 2002-130 is
currently used by the City and shall be updated by this Resolution,
pursuant to the Political Reform Act.
Section 2. Given the passage of time and various amendments to the Model
Code, and based upon additions, deletions and name changes to various designated
positions, the City hereby determines that it is both necessary and appropriate to
update its Conflict of Interest Code, to revise the list of designated positions, and to
assign
1
F\ � „ .y `
appropriate disclosure categories for those positions, as required by Government
Code Section 87306.
Section 3. The City hereby amends its Conflict of Interest Code by incorporating
by reference the Model Code, attached hereto as Exhibit "A," and any amendments to
it that are duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission; and the Designated
Positions and Disclosure Categories, attached hereto as the Appendix, both of which
shall constitute the City's Conflict of Interest Code.
Section 4. Persons holding designated positions shall file a Statement of
Economic Interest (Form 700) pursuant to Sections 4 and 5 of the City's Conflict of
Interest Code as set forth in 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730,
subsection (b)(4) and (b)(5).
Section 5. Incorporation by reference of the terms of the aforementioned Model
Code and any future amendments to it in the City's Conflict of Interest Code will save
the City Council time and the expenditure of public funds by minimizing the actions
required to maintain conformity with the Political Reform Act.
Section 6. Pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section
87311 , officers, employees, members of the public, consultants, and residents of the
jurisdiction were given adequate notice and a fair opportunity to present their views.
Section 7. The Conflict of Interest Code adopted by the City Council on April 2,
2013 by Resolution No. 2013-047 and all prior versions of the City's Conflict of Interest
Code are hereby repealed in its entirety.
Section 8. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the
City of Lynwood, California, this 5th day of November 2019.
