DATE: April 26, 2012
TO: MEMBERS OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD
FROM: GILBERT A. LIVAS ON BEHALF OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENC
ITEM: Adopt Resolution No. OB12- , A Resolution of the J
Oversight Board to the Successor Agency to the Dissolved Downey
Community Development Commission Adopting A Conflict of
Interest Code For the Oversight Board
SUMMARY
On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court upheld the Redevelopment
Dissolution Act, AB 1x26, signed by the Governor in June 2011. The Court set
February 1, 2012 as the dissolution date for all California Redevelopment Agencies.
The City of Downey has elected to serve as the Successor Agency to the dissolved
Downey Community Development Commission.
The Dissolution Act requires each Successor Agency to have an Oversight Board
composed of seven members appointed by specific governmental agencies. The
Oversight Board is subject to the Political Reform Act and will need to adopt a conflict of
interest code to operate in accordance with the Political Reform Act and regulations
promulgated thereunder by the Fair Political Practices Commission ( "FPPC ").
Staff recommends adopting Resolution No. OB 12- , which adopts the FPPC
model of Conflict of Interest Code by reference. The model code requires inclusion of
designated positions subject to the code and a list of disclosure categories. The
resolution proposes all Oversight Board Members as designated positions and reporting
required for all disclosure categories.
The resolution further identifies the City of Downey City Council as the code reviewing
body for the conflict of interest code and directs the City Clerk to submit the resolution
containing the Conflict of Interest Code to the City Council. Filers will submit Form 700
Statements of Economic Interest (assuming, annual, amendments and leaving office) to
the City Clerk.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. OB 12- , which adopts the Oversight Board Conflict of
Interest Code.

WHEREAS, the Oversight Board is deemed a local entity for purposes of the Political

SECTION 1. Pursuant to the Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section

Code of Regulations, which model conflict of interest code is incorporated herein by reference,
and which, together with the list of designated positions and the disclosure categories applicable
to each designated position as set forth in Sections 3 and 6 of this Resolution, collectively
constitutes the Board's conflict of interest code. As the model conflict of interest code set forth
in Section 18730 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations is amended from time to time
by State law, regulatory action of the Fair Political Practices Commission, or judicial
determination, the portion of the Board's conflict of interest code comprising the model conflict
of interest code shall be deemed automatically amended without further action to incorporate by
reference all such amendments to the model conflict of interest code so as to remain in
compliance therewith. Nothing in this Resolution shall supersede the independent applicability
of Government Code Section 87200.
SECTION 2. The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974 and in the
regulations of the Fair Political Practices Commission, and any amendments to either of the
foregoing, are incorporated by reference into this conflict of interest code.

shall be required to file statements of economic interests: Oversight Board members.
SECTION 4. The code reviewing body for this conflict of interest code shall be the City
Council of the City of Downey. This conflict of interest code shall be promptly submitted after its
adoption by the Secretary to the City Clerk. Statements of economic interests shall be
completed and delivered by Oversight Board members to the City Clerk, and the City Clerk shall
file the statements of economic interest.
SECTION 5. The Board finds and determines that the persons holding the positions set
forth in Section 3 make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably have a
material effect on financial interests.
SECTION 6. Each person holding a designated position set forth in Section 3 shall
report in every disclosure category set forth in the statement of economic interests promulgated
by the FPPC to the extent such category is applicable to such person pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the FPPC. The disclosure categories as promulgated by the FPPC may be
amended from time to time and such amendments shall not require an amendment to this code
or Resolution.
SECTION 7. Sections 3 and 6 of this Resolution constitute the Appendix referred to in
subdivision (b)(2) of Section 18730 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations.
SECTION 8. Nothing contained in this Resolution is intended to modify or abridge the
provisions of the Political Reform Act of 1974, Government Code Section 87000 et seq., or
FPPC regulations in Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations including Sections 18700 et
seq. The provisions of this Resolution are additional to the Political Reform Act and FPPC
Regulations. This Resolution shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Political
Reform Act and FPPC regulations. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
this Resolution, on the one hand, and the Political Reform Act and /or the FPPC regulations, on
the other hand, the provisions of the Political Reform Act and FPPC regulations shall govern.
SECTION 9. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution

REGULATIONS OF THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION
Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations
(1) Section 1. Definitions.
(2) Section 2. Designated Employees.
ATTACHMENT A
§ 18730. Provisions of Conflict -of- Interest Codes.
(a) Incorporation by reference of the terms of this regulation along with the designation of employees
and the formulation of disclosure categories in the Appendix referred to below constitute the adoption
and promulgation of a conflict -of- interest code within the meaning of Section 87300 or the
amendment of a conflict -of- interest code within the meaning of Section 87306 if the terms of this
regulation are substituted for terms of a conflict -of- interest code already in effect. A code so amended
or adopted and promulgated requires the reporting of reportable items in a manner substantially
equivalent to the requirements of article 2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Sections 81000, et
seq. The requirements of a conflict -of- interest code are in addition to other requirements of the
Political Reform Act, such as the general prohibition against conflicts of interest contained in Section
87100, and to other state or local laws pertaining to conflicts of interest.
(b) The terms of a conflict -of- interest code amended or adopted and promulgated pursuant to this
regulation are as follows:
The definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974, regulations of the Fair Political Practices
Commission (Regulations 18110, et seq.), and any amendments to the Act or regulations, are
incorporated by reference into this conflict -of- interest code.
The persons holding positions listed in the Appendix are designated employees. It has been
determined that these persons make or participate in the making of decisions which may foreseeably
have a material effect on economic interests.
(3) Section 3. Disclosure Categories.
This code does not establish any disclosure obligation for those designated employees who are also
specified in Section 87200 if they are designated in this code in that same capacity or if the
geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the jurisdiction in
which those persons must report their economic interests pursuant to article 2 of chapter 7 of the
Political Reform Act, Sections 87200, et seq.
In addition, this code does not establish any disclosure obligation for any designated employees who
are designated in a conflict -of- interest code for another agency, if all of the following apply:
(A) The geographical jurisdiction of this agency is the same as or is wholly included within the
jurisdiction of the other agency;
(B) The disclosure assigned in the code of the other agency is the same as that required under article
2 of chapter 7 of the Political Reform Act, Section 87200; and
(C) The filing officer is the same for both agencies.
Such persons are covered by this code for disqualification purposes only. With respect to all other
designated employees, the disclosure categories set forth in the Appendix specify which kinds of
economic interests are reportable. Such a designated employee shall disclose in his or her statement
of economic interests those economic interests he or she has which are of the kind described in the
disclosure categories to which he or she is assigned in the Appendix. It has been determined that the
economic interests set forth in a designated employee's disclosure categories are the kinds of
economic interests which he or she foreseeably can affect materially through the conduct of his or her
office.
