(Gov. Code §§ 87200, 87500.). Such officials are listed in the Appendix for information purposes only. B. Designated Officials and Employees: The positions listed in the Appendix are designated positions. Officers and employees holding those positions are designated employees and are deemed to make or participate in making decisions which may foreseeably have a material effect on a financial interest.

Such disclosures must be made at the times and circumstances described by the City's Conflict of Interest Code. Designated employees must disclose all interests as required by the PRA and regulations promulgated thereto. When a new position classification is created by the Human Resources Department for City Council approval, the Human Resources Department will recommend that the City Council decide whether the new position will be required to file a Statement of Economic Interest and be included as a designated position in the Conflict of Interest Code. When the City Council establishes a Commission, Committee, or Board, the City Council will decide whether the members of the Commission, Committee, or Board be included as a designated position in the Conflict of Interest Code and the members of the Commission, Committee, or Board so designated by the City Council, will be required to file a Statement of Economic Interest. C. Consultants: The City Manager may determine in writing that a particular consultant, although a "designated position," is hired to perform a range of duties that requires the consultant to fully comply with the disclosure requirements described in this section. Such written determination must include a description of the consultant's duties and based upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements. The City Manager determination is a public record and must be retained for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict of interest code.
