Standard Operating Principles for Advisory Boards and Committees

On February 3, 2014, the City Council adopted Standard Operating Principles for advisory boards and committees to help establish standards that guide all committees on common issues such as agendas, conduct of meetings, and records/reporting. On January 10, 2022, the City Council reviewed and updated the Standard Operating Principles. All members of City advisory boards and committees are encouraged to be familiar with the Standard Operating Principles.

Form 700 & Conflict of Interest Code

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires cities to adopted a Conflict of Interest Code designating those City public officials who are involved in City decisions to disclose certain financial interests which could foreseeably be affected, in a material manner, by a City decision made by the official. Currently, the Conflict of Interest Code requires members of the Finance Committee, Design Review Board, Planning Commission and City Council to file a Form 700 Financial Conflict of Interest filing upon assuming office, annually, and upon leaving office. Volunteers interested in serving on these committees should be aware of these filing requirements.  For more information, please visit the FPPC’s Form 700 website.
