Conflict of Interest Code - 2025 approved version

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 (2 California Code of Regulations  Section 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can 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 2 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  Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict of interest code of the Tahoe Resource Conservation District (District).

Members of the Board of Directors must file their statements of economic interests electronically with the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other individuals holding designated positions must file their statements with the Director of Finance and Administration as the District’s Filing Officer.  All statements must be made available for public inspection and reproduction under Government Code Section 81008)

The Executive Director may determine in writing that a particular consultant or new position, 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 described in this section. Such written determination shall include a description of the consultant's or new position's duties and, based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements.  The Executive Director’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.
