Rowland Water District Amends Conflict of Interest Code
Officials who manage public investments must file financial disclosure statements
(September 7, 2016) – In compliance with state law, Rowland Water District (RWD) updated its Conflict of Interest Code to require financial disclosure statements from all employees who manage public investments.
RWD’s code was amended to include an expanded list of designated positions that must file disclosure statements, such as members of the Board of Directors, the General Manager and financial consultants.
The change was approved by the Board at its July 19 meeting and was forwarded to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for approval and filing.
Under the State Political Reform Act of 1974, anyone who holds a position managing public investments must file disclosure statements by April of each year and attend training every two years. RWD’s Board underwent ethics training in February 2015.
“We want the public to know that maintaining exceptional accountability and good government is important to us and we take ethics in government extremely seriously,” RWD Board President Szu Pei Lu-Yang said.
