public understands the conflict, recuse themself from discussing and voting on the matter, and leave the room until after the matter is concluded. If the item is on that portion of the agenda reserved for uncontested matters such as the consent calendar, the official does not need to leave the room.
If I Come to the Meeting Late or Early, Do I Still Need to Disclose a Conflict?
The FPPC recently made changes to the disqualification requirements in Regulation 18707 to close a loophole to prevent certain specified public officials from leaving a meeting early or arriving late to avoid disclosing a conflict of interest.
If a public official leaves a meeting in advance of the agenda item in which the official is disqualified or joins a meeting after consideration of an agency item in which the official is disqualified, the official must publicly identify the agenda item and the financial interest after arriving at or prior to leaving the meeting.
What if I’m Not Sure if I Have a Conflict of Interest?
Public officials have a number of resources available to assist them in navigating the Political Reform Act and other ethical issues. The League and the Institute for Local Government offer free training and various publications online. The FPPC also offers both informal and formal advice, online training, and publications. Finally, your agency’s counsel can also assist you in understanding whether you have a conflict of interest and the disclosure requirements. ■
