The Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 81000, et seq., requires state and local government agencies to adopt and promulgate conflict of interest codes. The Fair Political Practices Commission has adopted a regulation, Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, which contains the terms of a standard Conflict of Interest Code, which can be incorporated by reference, and which may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments to the Political Reform Act after public notice and hearings. Therefore, the terms of Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, along with the attached Appendices in which officials and employees are designated and disclosure categories are set forth, are hereby incorporated by reference and constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy.

Designated employees shall file their statements of economic interests with the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy. Upon receipt of the statements of the members of the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy, the Conservancy shall make and retain copies and forward the original of these statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. Statements for all other designated employees will be retained by the Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy and made available for public inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code, § 81008).
