The Act also requires all local agencies to adopt their own local Conflict of Interest Code designating the officials and employees of that agency who participate in the making of decisions which may have a material effect on the financial interests of those officials and employees. DISCUSSION Each local agency must review its local Conflict of Interest Code every two years and make modifications as necessary. It is now time to conduct the biennial review and amend the Code to ensure that the positions listed in the Code are accurately reflected. The following modifications are proposed: delete the Arts Commission; add the Arts Advisory Board; change the name of the Parks and Leisure Services Commission to the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission; and change the title of Information Systems Manager to Information Technology Manager. No other changes are proposed at this time. Exhibit 1 lists the Town officials and employees subject to the Code. Disclosure categories require reporting all interests. PUBLIC CONTACT Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public. FISCAL IMPACT None.
