Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is a five-member independent, non-partisan commission that has primary responsibility for the impartial and effective administration of the Political Reform Act (Gov. Code ยงยง 81000-91014). The Act regulates campaign financing, conflicts of interest, lobbying, and governmental ethics. The Commission’s objectives are to ensure that public officials act in a fair and unbiased manner in the governmental decision-making process, to promote transparency in government, and to foster public trust in the political system.
FPPC Form 700 – Statements of Economic Interests
City Council Members are elected officers identified in Government Code section 87200 and, along with other individuals identified in the City’s Conflict of Interest Code, are required to file Statements of Economic Interests (Form 700).
The Form 700 provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways: (1) it provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances; and (2) it serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.
Statements of Economic Interest for Government Code section 87200 filers are available through the FPPC’s Public Official Financial Disclosure Portal, or by contacting the FPPC at the following address:
