CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE - 2020
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY. This code is adopted pursuant to and in compliance with
Section 87300 of the California Government Code.
SECTION 2. STANDARDIZED CODE ADOPTED. The Political Reform Act
(Government Code Section 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt
and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a
regulation (Title 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section 18730) that contains the terms of a standard
conflict of interest code and may be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public
notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices
Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act.
Therefore, the terms of California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any
amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby
incorporated by reference. This regulation, and the attached appendices designating positions and
establishing disclosure requirements, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the City of
Rohnert Park. This Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Rohnert Park, adopted by Resolution
No. 2020-XXX, replaces any Conflict of Interest Code of the City of Rohnert Park, previously in
effect.
SECTION 3. STATEMENTS OF ECOMONIC INTEREST. Individuals holding
designated positions shall file their Statements of Economic Interest (Statements) with the filing
officer (City Clerk), who will retain the Statements and make the Statements available for public
inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Section 81008.)
SECTION 4. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Conflict of Interest Code shall take effect
immediately upon its approval by the City Council of the City of Rohnert Park.

NOTE: The City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Finance Director/City Treasurer and

for these positions are set forth in Government Code Section 87200, et seq.
*Newly created positions and consultants shall be included in the list of designated positions.
Consultant shall have the meaning defined in FPPC Regulation 18700.3, and shall include any
person who pursuant to a contract with the City either has authority to directly make any
governmental decision, or participates in the making of a governmental decision by providing
information, an opinion, or a recommendation to any governmental decision-maker (including the
City Manager or City staff with contracting authority) without significant intervening substantive
review. Such consultants and persons in newly created positions shall disclose pursuant to the
broadest disclosure category in the code subject to the following limitations:
The City Manager may determine in writing that a particular newly created position or consultant,
although a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that is limited in scope and
thus is not required to comply fully with the disclosure requirements in this section. Such written
determination shall include a description of the consultant’s duties and, based upon that
description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The City Manager’s
determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection in the same manner and
location as this Conflict of Interest Code.
**City Council Members file an expanded Statement of Economic Interest as they also serve as
the Rohnert Park Financing Authority, City of Rohnert Park Foundation, Rohnert Park District,
Rohnert Park Civic Commission, and Successor Agency to the Community Development
Commission.
