SUBJECT: Cqnflict of Interest Issue
The Board on January 7 , 1986 referred to the County
Administrator for review the possibility of a conflict of interest
in a recent Bishop Ranch decision by the San Ramon Valley Area
Planning Commission.
Phil Batchelor, County Administrator, reported that he has
reviewed and discussed the matter with County Counsel, the Director
of Community Development, and Robert Gatewood, Commissioner on the
San Ramon Valley Area Planning Commission. On the basis of infor-
mation available from Mr. Gatewood' s Statement of Economic Interest
(Form 730) and from the information furnished by Mr. Gatewood, County
staff advises that nothing was found to indicate that any conflict
of interest occurred. Because of the sensitivity of this matter,
however, Mr. Batchelor recommended that each Planning Commissioner
receive the attached letter and the booklet entitled "A Guide to the
Political Reform Act of 1974: California' s Conflict of Interest Law
for Public Officials" .
V. J. Westman, County Counsel , also commented on the
financial disclosure statements filed by Mr. Gatewood and the
records of the Community Development Department concerning the activ-
ities in question. He concurred with the conclusion of the County
Administrator and the desirability of sending letters and the book-
let to each Planning Commissioner, reminding them of the requirements
of the Political Reform Act.
There being no further discussion, IT IS BY THE BOARD
ORDERED that the comments of the County Administrator and County
Counsel are ACKNOWLEDGED as reported and that the County
Administrator and County Counsel are AUTHORIZED to issue the letter
and booklet as referenced.
hereby-nertify that this is a true and correct copy of
an action bF ern and outer el on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
