ISSUE: The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its
Conflict of Interest Code every two years, no later than October 1 of each even -
numbered year, and determine whether or not changes are required. Any changes are
submitted to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors for approval.
RECOMMENDATION: Confirm that there are no changes to the Designated Positions
of the District Conflict of Interest Code.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to this action.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board may decide that amendments need

BACKGROUND: The Political Reform Act of 1974 and the Central Contra Costa
Sanitary District Conflict of Interest Code require that the Board of Directors adopt a list
of designated positions of officers and employees who make, or participate in making,
decisions that could have a material effect on a personal financial interest. It is also
required that the local agency review its Conflict of Interest Code every two years, and
determine whether or not changes are necessary.
The District reviews the designated positions on a biennial basis in even - numbered
years and proposes amendments to the Conflict of Interest Code as necessitated by
any changed circumstances, including the creation of new positions, deletion of
positions, and relevant changes in the duties assigned to existing positions. On
September 4, 2008, the Board adopted Resolution 2008 -090 which updated the
designated positions.
The list of designated positions has been reviewed by staff and no changes are
recommended at this time.
