BACKGROUND INFORMATION: As you are aware, AB 1234 (now codified in Government Code Section 53234 et seq.), went into effect on January 1, 2006. AB 1234 mandates that local agency legislative bodies receive ethics training every two years. In addition to the legislative body, the training is also mandatory for specific boards, committees and commissions as well as certain employees designated in the Conflict of Interest Code. The deadline for completing said training is December 31 st of every even numbered year. The training is offered in-person at Carnegie Forum through the City Attorney's office in December and online through the Fair Political Practices Commission website year-round. For the City of Lodi, AB 1234 ethics training is mandatory for the City Council, Planning Commission, Recreation Commission and Library Board of Trustees. It is also mandatory for Council appointees and liaisons to the boards, committees and commissions. While not mandatory for other boards, committees and commissions and designated employees, the training is strongly encouraged for all. We are happy to report that in 2012, we achieved 99% compliance by the December 31St deadline with all members of the City Council, Planning Commission, and Library Board of Trustees in full compliance. As of the date of this report, one member of the Recreation Commission remains out of compliance. The AB 1234 Training Log, which is a requirement of the law, is attached for your reference. This report is provided for informational purposes only.
