Why do I have to file a Statement of Economic Interests?
The California Political Reform Act (Gov. Code Sections 81000-91014), in conjunction with the City of El Cerrito’s Conflict of Interest Code requires the filing of Statements of Economic Interests. The Act states:

    "Assets and income of public officials which may be materially affected by their official actions should be disclosed (and in appropriate circumstances the officials should be disqualified from acting in order that conflicts of interest may be avoided)" (Section 81002(c))

For more information on this subject please review resources provided on the City’s website and the FPPC’s website.
