DISCUSSION:
As the local Conflict-of-Interest Code reviewing body, the County of Humboldt is required under Government Code, Section 87306.5, to issue Biennial Notices to local agencies that are directed therein to review their Conflict-of-Interest Codes and to advise the County of Humboldt of any changes. Resulting changes in a local agency code are required to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors, who in accordance with Government Code, Section 87303, may: (1) approve proposed changes; (2) revise proposed changes and approve with the modified language; or (3) return proposed changes for revision and resubmission to your Board for review. If no changes are required, the local agency must advise the County in writing of the same.

On June 29, 2018, the Office of Elections notified districts that a biennial Conflict-of-Interest code review was required and requested districts to verify in writing whether the district determined that code changes were necessary. Attachment 1 summarizes responses received from school and special districts regarding necessity for code changes.
