Why Volunteer?
The City of Del Mar is one of the most scenic, beautiful, and protected communities along the coast of California. The Del Mar Community Plan outlines the village character that residents envisioned when they helped craft the Plan to protect and maintain that character. Our residents are highly-educated and involved, and bring a high degree of expertise to the committees and organizations they join.
Be a part of that energy, get to know your neighbors and community, and help promote and protect the beautiful City of Del Mar.
Volunteer Requirements
Form 700
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.
Ethics Training
Assembly Bill 1234 requires members of City boards, commissions, and committees complete two hours of ethics training after being appointed and every two years. Free ethics training is provided by the FPPC, and can be accessed online. Upon completion of the online training, please provide a copy of the completion certificate to the Administrative Services Department.
