Agency Report of:
New Positions
A Public Document
State and local government agencies may use this form
to identify new positions that will make or participate in
making governmental decisions on behalf of the agency.
An individual in a newly created position must file a
Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) within 30
days of assuming office.
This form identifies the Statement of Economic Interests,
Form 700, disclosure requirements for individuals serving
in new positions. This form is for the agency's internal
use and should be maintained by the agency in the same
manner as the agency's conflict -of -interest code. For
more information, refer to the FPPC website www.fppc.
ca.gov and Regulations 18701-18702.4 and Regulation
18734.
Disclosure Requirements
• Disclosure requirements should conform to the range of
duties.
• Alternatively, the agency must require an individual
to file under the broadest disclosure category in the
agency's conflict -of -interest code or, if the agency does
not have a conflict -of -interest code, full disclosure.
Full disclosure includes reporting all investments, business
positions, and interests in real property held on the date
of assuming office and income received during the 12
months immediately preceding assuming office.
When a new position is added, in addition to completing
this form, the agency should begin the process to amend
the conflict -of -interest code.
Examples:
An agency added a new data processing manager
position. The individual will be assigned the same
disclosure category that the agency's other IT staff are
assigned.
An agency implemented a new licensing program and a
new manager position was added. Because this was a
new program, the agency provided a written description
of the individual's disclosure requirements which included
sources subject to the licensing procedures.
An agency reorganized and changed the duties of several
positions listed in the conflict -of -interest code. This form is
not required as positions are not new. The agency should
begin to amend its conflict -of -interest code if the range of
authority and types of decisions changed.
An agency changed the titles but not the duties and
responsibilities of several positions. This form is not
required. The agency must file an amendment to update
the conflict -of -interest code.
Instructions
Part 1
Identify the agency, contact information, and provide the
amendment explanation in the comment section when
applicable.
Part 2
Identify the new position(s) and describe the position's
duties. Identify the disclosure by:
— Assigning an existing category(s) in the agency's
code, or
— Writing a disclosure requirement.
Complete if the agency knows the employment date.
Part 3
The agency's conflict -of -interest code should identify the
position that is responsible for the verification.

RESOLUTION NO.2013 - 63
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PALM DESERT, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING AN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE KNOWN AS THE HOTEL AND SIGNATURE EVENTS
COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the City of Palm Desert has a vested interest in developing its
economic base, which is supported largely by the tourism and hospitality industry, with
Sales Tax contributing 37.6% and Transient Occupancy Tax contributing 18.1 % to its
General Fund Revenues annually; and
WHEREAS, in order to continue to enhance and grow the City's tourism and
hospitality industry to meet the needs of both residents and visitors for the purposes of
retaining its economic vitality and viability for the future, it would be advantageous to
have an advisory legislative body to provide input to the City Council on these matters;
and
WHEREAS, the need has been identified for active direction and oversight in the
implementation of measures that would contribute to the City's economic development
mission and goals, including, but not limited to, hotel enhancement -owner participation
projects, sponsorship of Signature Events, etc.; and
WHEREAS, the City Council currently has a Hotel Subcommittee comprised of
two Councilmembers and City staff that has been in place for over 10 years in order to
review prospective hotel developments for the City's Desert Willow Golf Resort and in
other areas throughout the City for meeting its economic development objectives, and it
would be beneficial to combine this body with a larger one that could develop programs
to enhance and encourage hotel development as well as attract and sustain Signature
Events that would contribute to increased Sales Tax and Transient Occupancy Tax
generation; and
WHEREAS, Signature Events bring tourists to the City of Palm Desert, and the
Committee will make recommendations to the Marketing Committee and City Council to
encourage the most appropriate events to enhance tourism; and
WHEREAS, it may be a perceived conflict if this Committee reviews land use or
hotel design; therefore, the Committee shall refrain from considering design, land use,
and location of proposed hotel projects, in which case these discussions shall remain in
the purview of staff, the Planning Commission, and City Council; however, the
Committee may review potential financial support by the City.
