The Political Reform Act requires designated Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) Staff to disclose financial interests and gifts that may affect their official actions. The information below outlines SHRA’s policies related to the Political Reform Act.

Disclosures The Political Reform Act requires public officials to disclose assets and income which may be materially affected by their official actions. The Act requires governmental agencies to ensure that their public officials (council, board, and commission members, employees, and consultants) disclose their interests on or before the statutory deadlines. The Agency Clerk is the Official Filing Officer for SHRA, and is responsible for the collection, maintenance, and protection of filing and disclosure documents. Additionally the Clerk is responsible for ensuring that the public has adequate access to these materials as prescribed by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). Such disclosures that apply to SHRA include the Statement of Economic Interests Disclosure (Form 700), Gift to Agency Report (Form 801), and Tickets Provided by Agency Report (Form 802).

Conflict of Interest Code and Ethics Policy Under the Political Reform Act, all public agencies are required to adopt a Conflict of Interest Code (Code). The Code designates positions required to file the Statements of Economic Interests Form (Form 700), and assigns disclosure categories specifying the types of interests to be reported. In addition, SHRA has adopted an Ethics Policy that describes SHRA’s expectations for ethical and responsible behavior for all staff. SHRA Conflict of Interest Code updated August 2018

Statement of Economic Interests (SEI) Disclosure/Form 700 The Political Reform Act requires public officials to disclose a portion of their personal financial information, so that the public may be confident that the official is not using his/her decision making authority to affect his/her personal financial interests. The Form 700 is a public document intended to alert public officials and members of the public to the types of financial interests that may create conflicts of interests. The filing of financial disclosure forms are managed through the Agency Clerk’s office. If you have questions or would like to view filed statements, please contact Vickie Smith, Agency Clerk, at (916) 440-1363 or vsmith@shra.org.

Agency Gift Policy/Form 801 and 802 SHRA has an adopted policy which governs the receipt of Gifts, and the Distribution, Use and Reporting of Tickets and Passes Given for SHRA. There are two types of Form 800 disclosure filings that are required by the Political Reform Act that relate to SHRA employees. The policy contains, the following:

• A provision setting forth the governmental purposes of the Agency to be accomplished by the distribution of event passes or tickets;

• A provision requiring that the distribution of any ticket or pass by the Agency to, or at the behest of, an SHRA official to accomplish a public purpose of the Agency; and

• A provision prohibiting the transfer by any SHRA official of any ticket or pass, distributed to such official pursuant to the Agency policy, to any other person, other than members of the official’s immediate family solely for their personal use.

FORM 801 – GIFT TO AGENCY REPORT [Title 2, Div 6, CA Code of Regulations 18944.2]. This form is used by local government agencies to disclosure payments made to the agency when the payment provides a personal benefit to an official of the agency. The policy and filed forms are required to be posted on the Agency’s website for public inspection.
