The Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 81000, et seq.) requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation (Title 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730) that contains the terms of a standard conflict of interest code, which can be incorporated by reference in an agency’s code. After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of Title 2 California Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and Appendix designating positions and establishing disclosure categories shall constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Richardson Bay Regional Agency (Agency).

 Individuals holding a designated position shall file their statements of economic interests with the Agency’s Executive Director or designee , who will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction (CA Government Code Section 81008). If statements are received in paper format, the Agency’s Executive Director or designee shall make and retain a copy and forward the original statements to the Filing Office, the County of Marin Board of Supervisors.    If statements are electronically filed using the County of Marin’s e-filing system, both the Agency and the Filing Officer will receive access to the e-filed statements simultaneously.
