Background
As was authorized by the City Council at its meeting of June 9, 2016, a mandatory biennial

and Disclosure Categories, is included in this report for ease in identifying said changes.
The amended Appendix to the Code becomes effective immediately upon the City
Council's adoption. Thereafter, Officials/Employees holding positions newly designated
