CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE
Mr. Carniato, Counsel for the District, advised the Board that the
County Board of Supervisors has indicated that they have accepted our
Conflict of Interest Code and those concerned have until February 25,
1977 to submit the forms. However, Counsel is of the opinion that there
may be a discrepancy on the date, since the Fair Political Practice
Commission states 60 days from the effective date (which was January
25), therefore making the deadline date March 25, 1977.
After discussion, it was suggested that Board Members try to complete
and file their forms prior to February 25, and that all staff members
complete and file their forms as soon as possible, but in any event,
prior to March 25, 1977.
