Seal Beach Votes on Fair Political Practices
Three items approved Monday by the Seal Beach City Council align the city with the rules of the state's Fair Political Practices Commission.
To comply with California's fair political practice laws, the Seal Beach City Council voted on three related items at its Monday meeting.
The council approved unanimously
- A policy detailing how city staff and officials must handle .
- A policy that requires officials to post detailed information on the city website about the stipends that officials receive for serving on different appointed committees.
- A housekeeping measure stating that city staff reviewed the local conflict of interest code, which requires elected officials and certain staff to annually file their personal assets and income in the Statement of the Economic Interests (also called Form 700) with the state.
“It was just coincidental that all three of them (the items) came forward all at the same meeting,” said City Manager Jill Ingram.
