Per the Political Reform Act Section 87200, public officials and City staff in designated positions are required to file annual statements of economic interests between January 1 and April 1 of each year.

The code also requires individuals holding these positions to periodically file Form 700 - Statement of Economic Interests, disclosing certain personal economic interests as determined by the code's "disclosure categories." These individual are called designated employees or code filers.

Statements of economic interest filed by state and local public officials are public records. The agencies that retain filed statements must make them available for public inspection or reproduction during regular business hours no later than the second business day after they are received unless the statements are five or more years old.
