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.
