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:
4875-1761-7379 v1
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.
