Rules committee approves amendments to conflict-of-interest filings, continues ordinance to Feb. 10
Summary
The committee approved late amendments to an ordinance updating Form 700 reporting titles and disclosure requirements under the Political Reform Act, then continued the item one week for further action on Feb. 10, 2025.
The San Francisco Rules Committee on Feb. 3 approved amendments to an ordinance updating the city—s conflict-of-interest code and its Form 700 statement-of-economic-interest filing requirements, then continued the ordinance to the committee—s next meeting on Feb. 10 for final action.
President Mandelmann said the update is routine under the Political Reform Act, which requires jurisdictions to review and update their conflict-of-interest codes every two years. "This is a little bit of housekeeping," Mandelmann said, explaining that departments review positions that must file under the political reform act because duties and staffing change over time.
Deputy City Attorney Brad Russi said the city contacted departments to review their designated positions and described the late amendments that were circulated. "It's basically something we're required to do," Russi said. He summarized the changes as including the addition of a Commission Streamlining Task Force approved by Proposition E at the November election, revisions to assessor-recorder filers, and an addition for the San Francisco Unified School District. Because the amendments were substantive, the committee continued the ordinance to the Feb. 10 meeting.
There was no public comment on the item. On committee votes, members approved the circulated amendments and then voted to continue the matter as amended to Feb. 10, 2025. Vice Chair Cheryl and President Mandelmann recorded "aye" votes; Chair Walton recorded "aye." The committee clerk said "The motion passes without objection."
