				  18730, which contains the terms of
				  a standard conflict of interest code. It can be incorporated by reference and
				  may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission after public notice
				  and hearings to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore,
				  the terms of 2 Cal. Code of Regs. Section
				  18730 and any amendments to it
				  duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated
				  by reference and, along with the attached Appendix in which members and
				  employees are designated and disclosure categories are set forth, constitute
				  the conflict of interest code of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.
Designated employees shall file statements of economic
				  interests with the agency who will make the statements available for public
				  inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Section
				  81008).
				  Upon receipt of the statements of Conservancy Members and the Chief Executive
				  Officer, the agency shall make and retain a copy and forward the original of
				  these statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. Statements for all
				  other designated employees will be retained by the agency.

				  investments and business positions, and sources of income, he/she need only
				  disclose investments in business entities and sources of income which do
				  business in the jurisdiction, plan to do business in the jurisdiction, or have
				  done business in the jurisdiction within the past two years. In addition to
				  other activities, a business entity is doing business within the jurisdiction
				  if it owns real property within the jurisdiction.
Designated employees shall disclose their financial interests
				  pursuant to the appropriate disclosure category as indicated in Appendix
				  B.
Disclosure Categories
Category 1: All interests in real property.

				  business entities, and income from any source which engages in land
				  development, construction or the acquisition, sale or lease of real property
				  within the defined Conservancy's jurisdiction.

				  business entities and sources of income of the type utilized by the Santa
				  Monica Mountains Conservancy to provide services, supplies or materials.
__________
* Consultants shall be included in
				  the list of designated employees and shall disclose pursuant to the broadest
				  disclosure category in the code subject to the following limitation:
The Executive Director may determine in writing that a
				  particular consultant, although a "designated Position," is hired to perform a
				  range of duties that is limited in scope and thus is not required to fully
				  comply with the disclosure requirements in this section. Such written
				  determination shall include a description of the consultant's duties and, based
				  upon that description, a statement of the extent of disclosure requirements.
				  The Executive Officer's determination is a public record and shall be retained
				  for public inspection in the same manner and location as this conflict of
				  interest code.
