On January 1, 2006, a new law became effective that requires two (2) hours of ethics training of the local
legislative bodies by January 1, 2007. This new law defines a local legislative body as a "Brown Act"
governing body, whether permanent or temporary, decision-making or advisory, and created by formal
action of the City Council. In other words, any person serving on a City Council, Board, Commission, or
Committee created by the Council is subject to this ethics training requirement. After this al class,
trag will be required every two years.
Ethics training can be accomplished by taking a 2 -hour class, self -study. Online training is available at on
line at htt,p:,//www.fppc.ca.lqov/index.php?id=477 and is free of charge.
After you have completed the ethics class, the original certificate needs to be given to the City Clerk'
Office for record-keeping, with a copy kept for your records. i
AB 1234 (Salinas). Local Agencies: Compensation and Ethics
Chapter 700, Statutes of 2005

ethics training every two years, if they receive compensation or are reimbursed expenses, The
training can be in-person, on-line, or self -study.

Expense Reimbursement -- Levels: Local agencies which reimburse expenses of members of their
legislative bodies must adopt written expense reimbursement policies specifying the circumstances
under which expenses may be reimbursed. The policy may specify rates for meals, lodging, travel,
and other expenses (or default to the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) guidelines). Local agency
officials must also take advantage of conference and government rates for transportation and lodging.
Expense Reimbursement -- Processes: Local agencies, which reimburse expenses, must also
provide expense reporting forms; when submitted, such forms must document how the expense
reporting meets the requirements of the agency's expense reimbursement policy. Officials attending
meetings at agency expense must report briefly back to the legislative body at its next meeting.
