1030.10 The Political Reform Act (Government Code §81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission (“FPPC”) has adopted a regulation (2 California Code of Regulations §18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing, the FPPC may amend the standard code to conform to amendments of the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations §18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the FPPC are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation, and the attached Appendix “A,” which designates positions and establishes disclosure categories, shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District (SMCMVCD).

Except as otherwise required by Senate Bill 852, individuals holding designated positions shall file their statement of economic interests with SMCMVCD, via the code reviewing body San Mateo County Board of Supervisors’ online portal NetFile. SMCMVCD shall make the statements available for public inspection or reproduction as required by law (Government Code §81008).

2. Category 2. Category 2 requires disclosure of interests in real property, which is located in whole or in part within two miles of the boundaries of the SMCMVCD, that may be materially affected by any decision made or participated in by the designated official or employee by virtue of that individual’s position.

5. Category 5. Category 5 requires disclosure of any investments and positions in business entities and sources of income (including receipt of gifts, loans, and travel payments) if the business entity or source provides leased facilities, products, equipment, vehicles, machinery, supplies, or services (including training or consulting services) of the type utilized by the SMCMVCD.

      * Consultants shall be included in the list of designated positions and shall disclose pursuant to the broadest disclosure category in the Code, subject to the following limitation.

The District Manager may determine in writing that a particular consultant, although within a “designated position,” is hired to perform a range of duties that are limited in scope and thus is not required to comply with the disclosure requirements described in this section fully.

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 District 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.
