3. LOCAL AGENCY BIENNIAL REPORT - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO
CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE 640.40
written Communication:
Report dated June 2, 1992, from the Agency Secretary,
advising that the Conflict of Interest Code for the Community
Redevelopment Agency had been reviewed in compliance with
Government Code Section 57306.5 and recommending that
Appendix A be amended to include the Historic Town Center
Committee, noting that the Board has the discretion to
require disclosure from committees; and, that Appendix B be
amended to include the disclosure of business positions, as
required by State law.
Mr. Julian explained that members of committees such as the
Los Rios Review Committee which requires that members to be
property owners or residents in the Los Rios District, and
the Historic Town Center Committee would not be disqualified
from voting but would be required to make disclosure for
public information purposes only.
Chairman Friess inquired whether the above -noted committees
could indicate an exemption on the Conflict of Interest
Disclosure form. Mr. Denhalter explained that the Fair
Political Practices Commission (FPPC) exempts committees that
are considered solely advisory and have no power to veto or
make approvals. Therefore, because of this restrictive
definition, he advised that the City ensure that these types
of committees are kept in an advisory capacity only to retain
their exemption status with the FPPC.
Bill Hardy, 26523 Calle Lorenzo, chairman of the Los Rios
Review Committee, stated that the Los Rios Review Committee
would be disqualified from voting because Section 8, Dis-
qualification, includes committees which "influence the
making of any governmental decision . . ." He requested that
the City Attorney provide clarification in this matter and
either remove the Committee from the City's list or explain
their exemption from disqualification before adopting the
amendments to the City's Conflict of Interest Code.

Mr. Denhalter explained that language in the Code is flexible
enough to accommodate the special situation with the Los Rios
Review Committee and the Historic Town Center Committee. He
noted that the law presently applies to all committees. Mr.
Julian suggested that the committees be exempted through
specific wording in the appendix to the City's Code.
Continuation of Item:
It was moved by Director Hausdorfer, seconded by Chairman
Friess, and unanimously carried that the item be continued to
the meeting of June 16, 1992, for additional clarification
and recommendations with regard to exempting committees from
the requirement for disqualification.
CLOSED SESSION
None.
