            4            MR. HORTON:  Next item.  

            5            MS. OLSON:  Our next item is F4, Proposed 

            6   amendments to Regulation 6001, General Provisions.  

            7            MR. HORTON:  Okay.  

            8            MR. HELLER:  Thank you.  

            9            MR. HORTON:  Introduce yourself for the record.  

           10            MR. HELLER:  Thank you, Chairman.  Again, I'm 

           11   Bradley Heller from the Board's Legal Department.  

           12            I'm here to request that the Board adopt the 

           13   proposed amendments to Appendices A and B to Regulation 

           14   6001 containing the Board's conflict of interest code.  

           15            The proposed amendments update the designated 

           16   positions listed in Appendix A, the disclosure 

           17   categories assigned to the designated positions listed 

           18   in Appendix A, and the disclosure categories described 

           19   in Appendix B.  

           20            The proposed amendments are necessary due to 

           21   changes in the Board's internal structure, the addition 

           22   of new Board positions and the elimination of some 

           23   previously designated positions, and changes in the 

           24   duties assigned to some of the existing Board positions 

           25   that are already listed in Appendix A.  

           26            If the Board adopts the proposed amendments 

           27   today staff will prepare a final statement of reasons 

           28   and then submit the entire rulemaking file to the Fair 




                                                                      3




                                                                       


            1   Political Practices Commission for approval in 

            2   accordance with FPPC Regulation 18750.  

            3            MR. HORTON:  Is there a motion, Members?  

            4            MS. STEEL:  So moved.  

            5            MS. YEE:  Second.

            7   second by Ms. Yee.

            8            Without objection, such will be the order.  

            9            MR. HELLER:  Thank you.
