Most filers file within 30 days of assuming or leaving office or within 30 days of the effective date of a newly adopted or amended conflict of interest code.

Exception:

If you assumed office between October 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, and filed an assuming office statement, you are not required to file an annual statement until March 2, 2021, or April 1, 2021,

amendment schedules at www.fppc.ca.gov.

FPPC FORM 700 (2019/2020) advice@fppc.ca.gov • 866-275-3772 • www.fppc.ca.gov Page - 3

Types of Statements

Assuming Office Statement:

If you are a newly appointed official or are newly employed in a position designated, or that will be designated, in

a state or local agency’s conflict of interest code, your assuming office date is the date you were sworn in or otherwise authorized to serve in the position. If you are a newly elected official, your assuming office date is the date

you were sworn in.

Report: Investments, interests in real property, and

business positions held on the date you assumed the office or position must be reported. In addition, income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received

during the 12 months prior to the date you assumed the office or position.

For positions subject to confirmation by the State Senate or the Commission on Judicial Appointments, your assuming office date is the date you were appointed or

nominated to the position.

Example: Maria Lopez was nominated by the Governor to serve on a state agency board that is subject to state Senate confirmation. The assuming office date is the date Maria’s nomination is submitted to the Senate. Maria must report investments, interests in real property, and business positions she holds on that date, and income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to that date.

If your office or position has been added to a newly adopted or newly amended conflict of interest code, use the effective date of the code or amendment, whichever is

applicable.

Report: Investments, interests in real property, and business positions held on the effective date of the code or amendment must be reported. In addition, income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the code or amendment.

Annual Statement:

Generally, the period covered is January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019. If the period covered by the statement is different than January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, (for example, you assumed office between October 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018 or you are combining statements), you must specify the period

covered.

Investments, interests in real property, business positions held, and income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the period covered

by the statement must be reported. Do not change the preprinted dates on Schedules A-1, A-2, and B unless you are required to report the acquisition or disposition of an interest that did not occur in 2019.

If your disclosure category changes during a reporting period, disclose under the old category until the effective date of the conflict of interest code amendment and disclose under the new disclosure category through the end of the reporting period.

Leaving Office Statement:

Generally, the period covered is January 1, 2019,

through the date you stopped performing the duties of your position. If the period covered differs from January 1, 2019, through the date you stopped performing the duties of your position (for example, you assumed office between October 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, or you are combining statements), the period covered must be specified. The reporting period can cover parts of two

calendar years.

Report: Investments, interests in real property, business positions held, and income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the period covered by

the statement. Do not change the preprinted dates on

Schedules A-1, A-2, and B unless you are required to report the acquisition or disposition of an interest that did not occur in 2019.

Candidate Statement:

If you are filing a statement in connection with your candidacy for state or local office, investments, interests in real property, and business positions held on the date of filing your declaration of candidacy must be reported. In addition, income (including loans, gifts, and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to the date of filing your declaration of candidacy is reportable. Do not change the preprinted dates on Schedules A-1, A-2, and B.

Candidates running for local elective offices (e.g., county sheriffs, city clerks, school board trustees, or water district board members) must file candidate statements, as required by the conflict of interest code for the elected

position. The code may be obtained from the agency of the elected position.

Amendments:

If you discover errors or omissions on any statement, file an amendment as soon as possible. You are only required

to amend the schedule that needs to be revised; it is not

necessary to refile the entire form. Obtain amendment

schedules from the FPPC website at www.fppc.ca.gov.

Note: Once you file your statement, you may not withdraw it. All changes must be noted on amendment schedules.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cover Page

Enter your name, mailing address, and daytime telephone number in the spaces provided. Because the Form 700 is a public document, you may list your business/office address instead of your home address.

Part 1. Office, Agency, or Court

Enter the name of the office sought or held, or the agency

or court. Consultants must enter the public agency name rather than their private firm’s name. (Examples: State Assembly; Board of Supervisors; Office of the Mayor; Department of Finance; Hope County Superior Court)

Indicate the name of your division, board, or district, if applicable. (Examples: Division of Waste Management; Board of Accountancy; District 45). Do not use acronyms.

Enter your position title. (Examples: Director; Chief

Counsel; City Council Member; Staff Services Analyst)

If you hold multiple positions (i.e., a city council member who also is a member of a county board or commission), you may be required to file statements with each agency. To simplify your filing obligations, you may complete an expanded statement.

To do this, enter the name of the other agency(ies) with which you are required to file and your position title(s) in the space provided. Do not use acronyms.

Attach an additional sheet if necessary. Complete one statement covering the disclosure requirements

for all positions. Each copy must contain an original signature. Therefore, before signing the statement,

make a copy for each agency. Sign each copy with an original signature and file with each agency.

If you assume or leave a position after a filing deadline, you must complete a separate statement. For example, a

city council member who assumes a position with a county special district after the April annual filing deadline must file a separate assuming office statement. In subsequent years, the city council member may expand his or her annual filing to

include both positions.

Example:

Brian Bourne is a city council member for the City of Lincoln and a board member for the Camp Far West Irrigation District – a multi-county agency that covers Placer and Yuba counties. Brian will complete one Form 700 using full disclosure (as required for the city position) and covering interests in both Placer and Yuba counties (as required for the multi-county position) and list both positions on the Cover Page. Before signing the statement, Brian will make a copy and sign both statements. One statement will be filed with City of Lincoln and the other will be filed with Camp Far West Irrigation District. Both will contain an original signature.

Part 2. Jurisdiction of Office

Check the box indicating the jurisdiction of your agency and, if applicable, identify the jurisdiction. Judges, judicial candidates, and court commissioners have statewide jurisdiction. All other filers should review the Reference Pamphlet, page 13, to determine their jurisdiction.

If your agency is a multi-county office, list each county in which your agency has jurisdiction.

If your agency is not a state office, court, county office, city office, or multi-county office (e.g., school districts, special districts and JPAs), check the “other” box and enter the county or city in which the agency has jurisdiction.

Example:

This filer is a member of a water district board with jurisdiction in portions of Yuba and Sutter Counties.

Part 3. Type of Statement

Check at least one box. The period covered by a statement is determined by the type of statement you are filing. If you are completing a 2019 annual statement, do not change the pre-printed dates to reflect 2020. Your annual statement is used for reporting the previous year’s economic interests.

Economic interests for your annual filing covering January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2020, will be disclosed on your statement filed in 2021. See Reference Pamphlet, page 4.

Combining Statements: Certain types of statements may be combined. For example, if you leave office after January 1, but before the deadline for filing your annual statement, you may combine your annual and leaving office statements. File by the earliest deadline. Consult your filing officer or the

FPPC.

Part 4. Schedule Summary

Complete the Schedule Summary after you have reviewed each schedule to determine if you have reportable interests.

Enter the total number of completed pages including the cover page and either check the box for each schedule you

use to disclose interests; OR if you have nothing to disclose on any schedule, check the “No reportable interests” box.

Please do not attach any blank schedules.

Part 5. Verification

Complete the verification by signing the statement and

entering the date signed. All statements must have an original

“wet” signature or be duly authorized by your filing officer to file electronically under Government Code Section 87500.2. When you sign your statement, you are stating, under penalty of perjury, that it is true and correct. Only the filer

has authority to sign the statement. An unsigned statement

is not considered filed and you may be subject to late filing

penalties.

Instructions – Schedules A-1 and A-2

Investments

“Investment” means a financial interest in any business

entity (including a consulting business or other independent contracting business) that is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or that has done business during the previous two years in your agency’s jurisdiction in which you, your spouse or registered domestic partner, or your dependent children had a direct, indirect, or beneficial interest totaling $2,000 or more at any time during the reporting period. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)

Reportable investments include:

Stocks, bonds, warrants, and options, including those held

in margin or brokerage accounts and managed investment funds (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)

Sole proprietorships

Your own business or your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s business (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8, for the definition of “business entity.”)

Your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s investments even if they are legally separate property

Partnerships (e.g., a law firm or family farm)

Investments in reportable business entities held in a retirement account (See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)

If you, your spouse or registered domestic partner, and dependent children together had a 10% or greater

ownership interest in a business entity or trust (including a living trust), you must disclose investments held by the business entity or trust. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 16, for more information on disclosing trusts.)

Business trusts

You are not required to disclose:

Government bonds, diversified mutual funds, certain funds similar to diversified mutual funds (such as exchange traded funds) and investments held in certain retirement accounts. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.) (Regulation 18237)

Bank accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposits

Insurance policies

Annuities

Commodities

Shares in a credit union

Government bonds (including municipal bonds)

Retirement accounts invested in non-reportable interests

(e.g., insurance policies, mutual funds, or government bonds) (See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)

Reminders

Do you know your agency’s jurisdiction?

Did you hold investments at any time during the period covered by this statement?

Code filers – your disclosure categories may only require disclosure of specific investments.

Government defined-benefit pension plans (such as CalPERS and CalSTRS plans)

Certain interests held in a blind trust (See Reference

Pamphlet, page 16.)

Use Schedule A-1 to report ownership of less than 10% (e.g., stock). Schedule C (Income) may also be required if

the investment is not a stock or corporate bond. (See second example below.)

Use Schedule A-2 to report ownership of 10% or greater (e.g., a sole proprietorship).

To Complete Schedule A-1:

Do not attach brokerage or financial statements.

Disclose the name of the business entity.

Provide a general description of the business activity of the entity (e.g., pharmaceuticals, computers, automobile manufacturing, or communications).

Check the box indicating the highest fair market value of your investment during the reporting period. If you are filing a candidate or an assuming office statement, indicate the fair market value on the filing date or the date you took office, respectively. (See page 20 for more information.)

Identify the nature of your investment (e.g., stocks, warrants, options, or bonds).

An acquired or disposed of date is only required if you initially acquired or entirely disposed of the investment

interest during the reporting period. The date of a stock dividend reinvestment or partial disposal is not required. Generally, these dates will not apply if you are filing a candidate or an assuming office statement.

Examples:

Frank Byrd holds a state agency position. His conflict of interest code requires full disclosure of investments. Frank must disclose his stock holdings of $2,000 or more in any company that is located in or does business in California,

as well as those stocks held by his spouse or registered domestic partner and dependent children.

Alice Lance is a city council member. She has a 4% interest, worth $5,000, in a limited partnership located in the city. Alice

must disclose the partnership on Schedule A-1 and income of $500 or more received from the partnership on Schedule C.

Instructions – Schedule A-2

Investments, Income, and Assets of Business Entities/Trusts

Use Schedule A-2 to report investments in a business

entity (including a consulting business or other independent contracting business) or trust (including a living trust) in which you, your spouse or registered domestic partner, and your dependent children, together or separately, had a 10% or greater interest, totaling $2,000 or more, during the reporting period and which is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or which has done business during the previous two years in your agency’s jurisdiction. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.) A trust located outside your agency’s jurisdiction is reportable if it holds assets that are located in or doing business in the jurisdiction. Do not report a trust that contains non-reportable interests. For example,

a trust containing only your personal residence not used in whole or in part as a business, your savings account, and some municipal bonds, is not reportable.

Also report on Schedule A-2 investments and real property

held by that entity or trust if your pro rata share of the investment or real property interest was $2,000 or more

during the reporting period.

To Complete Schedule A-2:

Part 1. Disclose the name and address of the business entity or trust. If you are reporting an interest in a business entity, check “Business Entity” and complete the box as follows:

Provide a general description of the business activity of the entity.

Check the box indicating the highest fair market value of your investment during the reporting period.

If you initially acquired or entirely disposed of this interest during the reporting period, enter the date acquired or disposed.

Identify the nature of your investment.

Disclose the job title or business position you held with the entity, if any (i.e., if you were a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or held any position of management). A business position held by your spouse is not reportable.

Part 2. Check the box indicating your pro rata share of the

gross income received by the business entity or trust. This amount includes your pro rata share of the gross income

FROM the business entity or trust, as well as your community property interest in your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s share. Gross income is the total amount of income before deducting expenses, losses, or taxes.

Part 3. Disclose the name of each source of income that is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in, or

that has done business during the previous two years in your agency’s jurisdiction, as follows:

Disclose each source of income and outstanding loan to the business entity or trust identified in Part 1 if your pro rata share of the gross income (including your community property interest in your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s share) to the business entity or trust from that source was $10,000 or more during the reporting

period. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 11, for examples.) Income from governmental sources may be reportable

if not considered salary. See Regulation 18232. Loans

from commercial lending institutions made in the lender’s

regular course of business on terms available to members of the public without regard to your official status are not

reportable.

Disclose each individual or entity that was a source of commission income of $10,000 or more during the reporting period through the business entity identified in Part 1. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.)

You may be required to disclose sources of income located outside your jurisdiction. For example, you may have a client who resides outside your jurisdiction who does business on a regular basis with you. Such a client, if a reportable source of $10,000 or more, must be disclosed.

Mark “None” if you do not have any reportable $10,000 sources of income to disclose. Phrases such as “various clients” or “not disclosing sources pursuant to attorney-client privilege” are not adequate disclosure. (See Reference

Pamphlet, page 14, for information on procedures to request an exemption from disclosing privileged information.)

Part 4. Report any investments or interests in real property held or leased by the entity or trust identified in Part 1 if your pro rata share of the interest held was $2,000 or more during

the reporting period. Attach additional schedules or use

FPPC’s Form 700 Excel spreadsheet if needed.

Check the applicable box identifying the interest held as real property or an investment.

If investment, provide the name and description of the business entity.

If real property, report the precise location (e.g., an assessor’s parcel number or address).

Check the box indicating the highest fair market value of your interest in the real property or investment during the reporting period. (Report the fair market value of the

portion of your residence claimed as a tax deduction if you are utilizing your residence for business purposes.)

Identify the nature of your interest.

Enter the date acquired or disposed only if you initially acquired or entirely disposed of your interest in the property or investment during the reporting period.

Instructions – Schedule B

Interests in Real Property

Report interests in real property located in your agency’s jurisdiction in which you, your spouse or registered domestic partner, or your dependent children had a direct, indirect, or beneficial interest totaling $2,000 or more any time during

the reporting period. Real property is also considered to be

“within the jurisdiction” of a local government agency if the

property or any part of it is located within two miles outside

the boundaries of the jurisdiction or within two miles of any

land owned or used by the local government agency. (See

Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)

Interests in real property include:

An ownership interest (including a beneficial ownership interest)

A deed of trust, easement, or option to acquire property

A leasehold interest (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)

A mining lease

An interest in real property held in a retirement account

(See Reference Pamphlet, page 15.)

An interest in real property held by a business entity or trust in which you, your spouse or registered domestic partner, and your dependent children together had a 10% or greater ownership interest (Report on Schedule A-2.)

Your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s interests in real property that are legally held separately by him or her

YOU ARE NOT required to report:

• A residence, such as a home or vacation cabin, used

exclusively as a personal residence (However, a residence

in which you rent out a room or for which you claim a

business deduction may be reportable. If reportable,

disclose the number of years remaining on the lease.

If you received rental income, check the box indicating the gross amount you received.

If you had a 10% or greater interest in real property and received rental income, list the name of the source(s) if

your pro rata share of the gross income from any single tenant was $10,000 or more during the reporting period. If you received a total of $10,000 or more from two or more tenants acting in concert (in most cases, this will apply

to married couples), disclose the name of each tenant. Otherwise, mark “None.”

Loans from a private lender that total $500 or more and are secured by real property may be reportable. Loans from commercial lending institutions made in the lender’s regular course of business on terms available to members of the public without regard to your official status are not reportable.

When reporting a loan:

-Provide the name and address of the lender.

-Describe the lender’s business activity.

-Disclose the interest rate and term of the loan. For variable interest rate loans, disclose the conditions of the loan (e.g., Prime + 2) or the average interest rate paid during the reporting period. The term of a loan is the total number of months or years given for repayment of the loan at the time the loan was established.

-Check the box indicating the highest balance of the loan during the reporting period.

report the fair market value of the portion claimed as a tax

deduction.)

Some interests in real property held through a blind trust

(See Reference Pamphlet, page 16.)

• Please note: A non-reportable property can still

be grounds for a conflict of interest and may be

disqualifying.

To Complete Schedule B:

Report the precise location (e.g., an assessor’s parcel number or address) of the real property.

Check the box indicating the fair market value of your

interest in the property (regardless of what you owe on the property).

Enter the date acquired or disposed only if you initially acquired or entirely disposed of your interest in the property during the reporting period.

Identify the nature of your interest. If it is a leasehold,

Reminders

Income and loans already reported on Schedule B are not also required to be reported on Schedule C.

Real property already reported on Schedule A-2, Part 4 is not also required to be reported on Schedule B.

Code filers – do your disclosure categories require disclosure of real property?

-Identify a guarantor, if applicable.

If you have more than one

reportable loan on a single

piece of real property, report the additional loan(s) on

Schedule C.

Example:

Allison Gande is a city planning commissioner.

During the reporting period,

she received rental income of

$12,000, from a single tenant

who rented property she owned in the city’s jurisdiction. If Allison received $6,000 each from two tenants, the tenants’ names would not be required because no single tenant paid her $10,000 or

more. A married couple is considered a single tenant.

Instructions – Schedule C

Income, Loans, & Business Positions

(Income Other Than Gifts and Travel Payments)

Reporting Income:

Report the source and amount of gross income of $500 or

more you received during the reporting period. Gross income is the total amount of income before deducting expenses, losses, or taxes and includes loans other than loans from a commercial lending institution. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 11.) You must also report the source of income to your

spouse or registered domestic partner if your community property share was $500 or more during the reporting period.

The source and income must be reported only if the source is located in, doing business in, planning to do business in,

or has done business during the previous two years in your

agency’s jurisdiction. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)

Reportable sources of income may be further limited by your disclosure category located in your agency’s conflict of

interest code.

Reporting Business Positions:

You must report your job title with each reportable business

entity even if you received no income during the reporting period. Use the comments section to indicate that no income was received.

Commonly reportable income and loans include:

Salary/wages, per diem, and reimbursement for expenses including travel payments provided by your employer

Community property interest (50%) in your spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s income - report the employer’s name and all other required information

Income from investment interests, such as partnerships, reported on Schedule A-1

Payments received on loans you made to others

An honorarium received prior to becoming a public official (See Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)

If you or your spouse or registered domestic partner are self-employed, report the business entity on Schedule A-2.

Do not disclose on Schedule C income, loans, or business positions already reported on Schedules A-2 or B.

YOU ARE NOT required to report:

Salary, reimbursement for expenses or per diem, or social security, disability, or other similar benefit payments

received by you or your spouse or registered domestic partner from a federal, state, or local government agency.

Identify the consideration for which the income was received.

For income from commission sales, check the box

indicating the gross income received and list the name of each source of commission income of $10,000 or more. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.) Note: If you receive commission income on a regular basis or have an ownership interest of 10% or more, you must disclose the business entity and the income on Schedule A-2.

Disclose the job title or business position, if any, that you held with the business entity, even if you did not receive income during the reporting period.

FPPC Form 700 - Schedule D (2019/2020) advice@fppc.ca.gov • 866-275-3772 • www.fppc.ca.gov Page - 15

Instructions – Schedule D

INCOME – GIFTS

A gift is anything of value for which you have not provided equal or greater consideration to the donor. A gift is reportable if its fair market value is $50 or more. In addition,

multiple gifts totaling $50 or more received during the reporting period from a single source must be reported.

It is the acceptance of a gift, not the ultimate use to which it is put, that imposes your reporting obligation. Except as noted below, you must report a gift even if you never used it or if you

gave it away to another person.

If the exact amount of a gift is unknown, you must make a good faith estimate of the item’s fair market value. Listing the value of a gift as “over $50” or “value unknown” is not adequate disclosure. In addition, if you received a gift through an intermediary, you must disclose the name, address, and

business activity of both the donor and the intermediary. You

may indicate an intermediary either in the “source” field after the name or in the “comments” section at the bottom

of Schedule D.

Commonly reportable gifts include:

Tickets/passes to sporting or entertainment events

Tickets/passes to amusement parks

Parking passes not used for official agency business

Food, beverages, and accommodations, including those

provided in direct connection with your attendance at a convention, conference, meeting, social event, meal, or like gathering

Rebates/discounts not made in the regular course of business to members of the public without regard to official status

Wedding gifts (See Reference Pamphlet, page 16)

An honorarium received prior to assuming office (You may report an honorarium as income on Schedule C, rather than as a gift on Schedule D, if you provided services of equal or greater value than the payment received. See Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)

Transportation and lodging (See Schedule E.)

Forgiveness of a loan received by you

Reminders

Gifts from a single source are subject to a $500 limit in 2019. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)

Code filers – you only need to report gifts from reportable sources.

Gift Tracking Mobile Application

FPPC has created a gift tracking app for mobile devices that helps filers track gifts and provides a quick

and easy way to upload the information to the Form

700. visit FPPC’s website to download the app.

YOU ARE NOT required to disclose:

Gifts that were not used and that, within 30 days after receipt, were returned to the donor or delivered to a charitable organization or government agency without being claimed by you as a charitable contribution for tax purposes

Gifts from your spouse or registered domestic partner, child, parent, grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, and

certain other family members (See Regulation 18942 for a complete list.). The exception does not apply if the donor was acting as an agent or intermediary for a reportable source who was the true donor.

Gifts of similar value exchanged between you and an individual, other than a lobbyist registered to lobby your state agency, on holidays, birthdays, or similar occasions

Gifts of informational material provided to assist you in the performance of your official duties (e.g., books, pamphlets, reports, calendars, periodicals, or educational seminars)

A monetary bequest or inheritance (However, inherited

investments or real property may be reportable on other schedules.)

Personalized plaques or trophies with an individual value of less than $250

Campaign contributions

up to two tickets, for your own use, to attend a fundraiser for a campaign committee or candidate, or to a fundraiser

for an organization exempt from taxation under Section

501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The ticket must be received from the organization or committee holding the fundraiser.

Gifts given to members of your immediate family if the source has an established relationship with the family

member and there is no evidence to suggest the donor had a purpose to influence you. (See Regulation 18943.)

Free admission, food, and nominal items (such as a pen, pencil, mouse pad, note pad or similar item) available to all attendees, at the event at which the official makes a speech (as defined in Regulation 18950(b)(2)), so long as the admission is provided by the person who organizes the event.

Any other payment not identified above, that would otherwise meet the definition of gift, where the payment is

made by an individual who is not a lobbyist registered to lobby the official’s state agency, where it is clear that the

gift was made because of an existing personal or business relationship unrelated to the official’s position and there

is no evidence whatsoever at the time the gift is made to suggest the donor had a purpose to influence you.

To Complete Schedule D:

Disclose the full name (not an acronym), address, and, if a business entity, the business activity of the source.

Provide the date (month, day, and year) of receipt, and disclose the fair market value and description of the gift.

Instructions – Schedule E

Travel Payments, Advances,

and Reimbursements

Travel payments reportable on Schedule E include advances

and reimbursements for travel and related expenses,

including lodging and meals.

Gifts of travel may be subject to the gift limit. In addition, certain travel payments are reportable gifts, but are not subject to the gift limit. To avoid possible misinterpretation

or the perception that you have received a gift in excess of

the gift limit, you may wish to provide a specific description of

the purpose of your travel. (See the FPPC fact sheet entitled

“Limitations and Restrictions on Gifts, Honoraria, Travel, and Loans” to read about travel payments under section

89506(a).)

$500 or more from a single source during the period

covered by the statement. You have the burden of

proving the payments are income rather than gifts.

When reporting travel payments as income, you must

describe the services you provided in exchange for the

payment. You are not required to disclose the date(s)

for travel payments that are income.

Example:

City council member MaryClaire Chandler is the chair of a 501(c)(6) trade association, and the association pays for her travel to attend its meetings. Because MaryClaire is deemed to be providing equal or greater consideration for the travel

YOU ARE NOT required to disclose:

• Travel payments received from any state, local, or federal

government agency for which you provided services equal

or greater in value than the payments received, such as

reimbursement for travel on agency business from your

government agency employer.

• A payment for travel from another local, state, or federal

government agency and related per diem expenses when

the travel is for education, training or other inter-agency

programs or purposes.

Travel payments received from your employer in the

payment by virtue of serving on the board, this

payment may be reported

as income. Payments for MaryClaire to attend

other events for which she is not providing services

are likely considered gifts. Note that the same payment from a 501(c)3 would NOT be reportable.

FPPC FORM 700 (2019/2020) advice@fppc.ca.gov • 866-275-3772 • www.fppc.ca.gov Page - 18

Restrictions and Prohibitions

The Political Reform Act (Gov. Code Sections 81000-

91014) requires most state and local government officials

and employees to publicly disclose their personal assets and income. They also must disqualify themselves from participating in decisions that may affect their

personal economic interests. The Fair Political Practices

Commission (FPPC) is the state agency responsible for issuing the attached Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and for interpreting the law’s provisions.

Gift Prohibition

Gifts received by most state and local officials, employees, and candidates are subject to a limit. In 2019-2020, the gift

limit is $500 from a single source during a calendar year.

Additionally, state officials, state candidates, and certain state employees are subject to a $10 limit per calendar month on gifts from lobbyists and lobbying firms registered with the Secretary of State. See Reference Pamphlet,

page 10.

State and local officials and employees should check with

their agency to determine if other restrictions apply.

Disqualification

Public officials are, under certain circumstances, required to disqualify themselves from making, participating in, or attempting to influence governmental decisions that will affect their economic interests. This may include interests they are not required to disclose. For example, a personal residence is often not reportable, but may be grounds for disqualification. Specific disqualification requirements apply to 87200 filers (e.g., city councilmembers, members of boards of supervisors, planning commissioners, etc.). These officials must publicly identify the economic interest that creates a conflict of interest and leave the room before

a discussion or vote takes place at a public meeting. For more information, consult Government Code Section 87105, Regulation 18707, and the Guide to Recognizing Conflicts of Interest page at www.fppc.ca.gov.

Honorarium Ban

Most state and local officials, employees, and candidates

are prohibited from accepting an honorarium for any speech given, article published, or attendance at a conference, convention, meeting, or like gathering. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 10.)

Loan Restrictions

Certain state and local officials are subject to restrictions on loans. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)

Post-Governmental Employment

There are restrictions on representing clients or employers

before former agencies. The provisions apply to elected state officials, most state employees, local elected officials, county chief administrative officers, city managers, including the chief administrator of a city, and general

managers or chief administrators of local special districts and JPAs. The FPPC website has fact sheets explaining

the provisions.

Late Filing

The filing officer who retains originally-signed or electronically filed statements of economic interests may impose on an individual a fine for any statement that is filed late. The fine is $10 per day up to a maximum of $100. Late filing penalties may be reduced or waived under certain

circumstances.

Persons who fail to timely file their Form 700 may be referred to the FPPC’s Enforcement Division (and, in some cases, to the Attorney General or district attorney) for investigation and possible prosecution. In addition to the late filing penalties, a fine of up to $5,000 per violation may

be imposed.

Questions and Answers

GENERAL

Q.What is the reporting period for disclosing interests on an assuming office statement or a candidate statement?

A.On an assuming office statement, disclose all reportable investments, interests in real property, and

business positions held on the date you assumed office. In addition, you must disclose income (including loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to the date you assumed office.

On a candidate statement, disclose all reportable investments, interests in real property, and business positions held on the date you file your declaration of candidacy. You must also disclose income (including loans, gifts and travel payments) received during the 12 months prior to the date you file your declaration of candidacy.

q.I hold two other board positions in addition to my position with the county. Must I file three statements of economic interests?

A.Yes, three are required. However, you may complete one statement listing the county and the two boards on

the Cover Page or an attachment as the agencies for which you will be filing. Report your economic interests using the largest jurisdiction and highest disclosure requirements assigned to you by the three agencies. Make two copies of the entire statement before signing it, sign each copy with an original signature, and distribute one original to the county and to each of the two boards. Remember to complete separate statements for positions that you leave or assume during the year.

q.I am a department head who recently began acting as city manager. Should I file as the city manager?

A.Yes. File an assuming office statement as city manager. Persons serving as “acting,” “interim,” or “alternate” must file as if they hold the position because they are or may be performing the duties of the position.

q.My spouse and I are currently separated and in the process of obtaining a divorce. Must I still report my spouse’s income, investments, and interests in real property?

A.Yes. A public official must continue to report a spouse’s

economic interests until such time as dissolution of marriage proceedings is final. However, if a separate

property agreement has been reached prior to that time, your estranged spouse’s income may not have to be reported. Contact the FPPC for more information.

q.As a designated employee, I left one state agency to work for another state agency. Must I file a leaving office statement?

A.Yes. You may also need to file an assuming office statement for the new agency.

Investment Disclosure

q.I have an investment interest in shares of stock in a company that does not have an office in my jurisdiction. Must I still disclose my investment interest in this company?

A.Probably. The definition of “doing business in the jurisdiction” is not limited to whether the business has an office or physical location in your jurisdiction. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 13.)

q. My spouse and I have a living trust. The trust holds rental property in my jurisdiction, our primary residence, and investments in diversified mutual funds. I have full

disclosure. How is this trust disclosed?

A.Disclose the name of the trust, the rental property and its income on Schedule A-2. Your primary residence and investments in diversified mutual funds registered with the SEC are not reportable.

q. I am required to report all investments. I have an IRA

that contains stocks through an account managed by a brokerage firm. Must I disclose these stocks even though they are held in an IRA and I did not decide

which stocks to purchase?

A.Yes. Disclose on Schedule A-1 or A-2 any stock worth $2,000 or more in a business entity located in or doing business in your jurisdiction.

Q.The value of my stock changed during the reporting period. How do I report the value of the stock?

A.You are required to report the highest value that the stock reached during the reporting period. You may

use your monthly statements to determine the highest value. You may also use the entity’s website to determine the highest value. You are encouraged to

keep a record of where you found the reported value.

Note that for an assuming office statement, you must

report the value of the stock on the date you assumed office.

Questions and Answers

Continued

q.I am the sole owner of my business, an S-Corporation. I believe that the nature of the business is such that it cannot be said to have any “fair market value” because it has no assets. I operate the corporation under

an agreement with a large insurance company. My

contract does not have resale value because of its nature as a personal services contract. Must I report the fair market value for my business on Schedule A-2 of the Form 700?

A.Yes. Even if there are no tangible assets, intangible assets, such as relationships with companies and clients are commonly sold to qualified professionals. The “fair market value” is often quantified for other purposes, such as marital dissolutions or estate planning. In addition, the IRS presumes that “personal services corporations” have a fair market value. A professional “book of business” and the associated

goodwill that generates income are not without a determinable value. The Form 700 does not require a precise fair market value; it is only necessary to check a box indicating the broad range within which the value falls.

q.I own stock in IBM and must report this investment on Schedule A-1. I initially purchased this stock in the early 1990s; however, I am constantly buying and selling shares. Must I note these dates in the “Acquired” and “Disposed” fields?

A.No. You must only report dates in the “Acquired” or “Disposed” fields when, during the reporting period, you initially purchase a reportable investment worth $2,000

or more or when you dispose of the entire investment.

You are not required to track the partial trading of an investment.

q.On last year’s filing I reported stock in Encoe valued at $2,000 - $10,000. Late last year the value of this stock fell below and remains at less than $2,000. How should this be reported on this year’s statement?

A.You are not required to report an investment if the value was less than $2,000 during the ENTIRE reporting period.

However, because a disposed date is not required for stocks that fall below $2,000, you may want to report the stock and note in the “comments” section that the value fell below $2,000. This would be for informational purposes only; it is not a requirement.

Q.We have a Section 529 account set up to save money for our son’s college education. Is this reportable?

A.If the Section 529 account contains reportable interests (e.g., common stock valued at $2,000 or more), those

interests are reportable (not the actual Section 529 account). If the account contains solely mutual funds, then nothing is reported.

INCOME DISCLOSURE

q. I reported a business entity on Schedule A-2. Clients of my business are located in several states. Must I report

all clients from whom my pro rata share of income is $10,000 or more on Schedule A-2, Part 3?

A.No, only the clients located in or doing business on a regular basis in your jurisdiction must be disclosed.

q.I believe I am not required to disclose the names of

clients from whom my pro rata share of income is $10,000 or more on Schedule A-2 because of their right to privacy. Is there an exception for reporting clients’ names?

A.Regulation 18740 provides a procedure for requesting an exemption to allow a client’s name not to be disclosed if disclosure of the name would violate a legally recognized privilege under California or Federal

law. This regulation may be obtained from our website at www.fppc.ca.gov. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)

q.I am sole owner of a private law practice that is not

reportable based on my limited disclosure category.

However, some of the sources of income to my law practice are from reportable sources. Do I have to disclose this income?

A.Yes, even though the law practice is not reportable,

reportable sources of income to the law practice of $10,000 or more must be disclosed. This information

would be disclosed on Schedule C with a note in the

“comments” section indicating that the business entity

is not a reportable investment. The note would be for informational purposes only; it is not a requirement.

Questions and Answers

Continued

q. I am the sole owner of my business. Where do I

disclose my income - on Schedule A-2 or Schedule C?

A.Sources of income to a business in which you have an ownership interest of 10% or greater are disclosed on Schedule A-2. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 8.)

q.My husband is a partner in a four-person firm where

all of his business is based on his own billings and collections from various clients. How do I report my community property interest in this business and the income generated in this manner?

A.If your husband’s investment in the firm is 10% or greater, disclose 100% of his share of the business on Schedule A-2, Part 1 and 50% of his income on Schedule A-2, Parts 2 and 3. For example, a client of your husband’s must be a source of at least $20,000 during the reporting period before the client’s name is reported.

Real Property Disclosure

Q.During this reporting period we switched our principal place of residence into a rental. I have full disclosure and the property is located in my agency’s jurisdiction, so it is now reportable. Because I have not reported this property before, do I need to show an “acquired” date?

A.No, you are not required to show an “acquired” date because you previously owned the property. However, you may want to note in the “comments” section that the property was not previously reported because it was

used exclusively as your residence. This would be for informational purposes only; it is not a requirement.

q.I am a city manager, and I own a rental property located in an adjacent city, but one mile from the city limit. Do I need to report this property interest?

A. Yes. You are required to report this property because

q.How do I disclose my spouse’s or registered domestic partner’s salary?

it is located within 2 miles of the boundaries of the city you manage.

A.Report the name of the employer as a source of income on Schedule C.

q. I am a doctor. For purposes of reporting $10,000 sources of income on Schedule A-2, Part 3, are the

patients or their insurance carriers considered sources of income?

A.If your patients exercise sufficient control by selecting you instead of other doctors, then your patients, rather than their insurance carriers, are sources of income to you. (See Reference Pamphlet, page 14.)

q.I received a loan from my grandfather to purchase my home. Is this loan reportable?

q.Must I report a home that I own as a personal residence for my daughter?

A.You are not required to disclose a home used as a

personal residence for a family member unless you receive income from it, such as rental income.

q.I am a co-signer on a loan for a rental property owned by a friend. Since I am listed on the deed of trust, do I need to report my friend’s property as an interest in real property on my Form 700?

A.No. Simply being a co-signer on a loan for property does not create a reportable interest in real property for you.

A.No. Loans received from family members are not reportable.

q.Many years ago, I loaned my parents several thousand dollars, which they paid back this year. Do I need to report this loan repayment on my Form 700?

A.No. Payments received on a loan made to a family member are not reportable.

GIFT DISCLOSURE

Q.If I received a reportable gift of two tickets to a concert valued at $100 each, but gave the tickets to a friend because I could not attend the concert, do I have any reporting obligations?

A.Yes. Since you accepted the gift and exercised discretion and control of the use of the tickets, you must disclose the gift on Schedule D.

Questions and Answers

Continued

Q.Julia and Jared Benson, a married couple, want to give a piece of artwork to a county supervisor. Is each spouse considered a separate source for purposes of the gift limit and disclosure?

A.Yes, each spouse may make a gift valued at the gift limit during a calendar year. For example, during 2019 the gift limit was $500, so the Bensons may have given the supervisor artwork valued at no more than $1,000. The supervisor must identify Jared and Julia Benson as the sources of the gift.

q. I am a Form 700 filer with full disclosure. Our agency holds a holiday raffle to raise funds for a local charity. I bought $10 worth of raffle tickets and won a gift

basket valued at $120. The gift basket was donated by

Doug Brewer, a citizen in our city. At the same event, I bought raffle tickets for, and won a quilt valued at $70. The quilt was donated by a coworker. Are these

reportable gifts?

A.Because the gift basket was donated by an outside source (not an agency employee), you have received a

reportable gift valued at $110 (the value of the basket less the consideration paid). The source of the gift

is Doug Brewer and the agency is disclosed as the intermediary. Because the quilt was donated by an employee of your agency, it is not a reportable gift.

q. My agency is responsible for disbursing grants. An applicant (501(c)(3) organization) met with agency employees to present its application. At this meeting,

the applicant provided food and beverages. Would the food and beverages be considered gifts to the

employees? These employees are designated in our agency’s conflict of interest code and the applicant is a

reportable source of income under the code.

A.Yes. If the value of the food and beverages consumed by any one filer, plus any other gifts received from the

same source during the reporting period total $50 or more, the food and beverages would be reported using the fair market value and would be subject to the gift limit.

q.I received free admission to an educational conference related to my official duties. Part of the conference fees included a round of golf. Is the value of the golf considered informational material?

A.No. The value of personal benefits, such as golf, attendance at a concert, or sporting event, are gifts subject to reporting and limits.
