WORKSHOP BY CARL HERNANDEZ REGARDING CONFLICT OF
INTEREST:
Carl Hernandez, Deputy City Attorney, gave an overview presentation regarding
conflict of interest. He stated that any conflict of interest with regards to specific
factual situations are contingent upon the facts that are. at issue.
Commissioner Sprague asked Mr. Hernandez if on real estate sales purchase
contracts, you had sold a piece of property to a buyer one year ago and that
buyer then brings through his engineer a tract map for Planning Commission
approval, would it be a conflict of interest after a year's time? Mr. Hernandez
stated that it was not likely because it was longer than 12 months. If yoU were
still entitled to further payment, then there would be a potential conflict.
Mr. Hernandez stated that he would be glad to answer any questions the
Commissioners might have but to please understand that the questions they ask
regarding conflicts of interest should be given to the Attorney's office well in
advance of the decision that they are going to make and also if its complex and
the Attorney's office cannot give a firm answer, if it appears that they need to
contact the FAPC, they will assist the Commissioners in doing that.
Commissioner Sprague stated that he attended the Monterey Planning
Commissioner's conference and purchased the videos regarding the Brown Act
and conflict of interest and offered to loan them to the other Commissioners. He
said they were very informative and would answer most all questions.

COMMISSION COMMENTS.
Commissioner Sprague mentioned that he had just learned that Marc Gauthier
was undergoing treatment and wanted him to know that their prayers are with
him.
Commissioner Tkac mentioned that the California Women for Agriculture had
faxed the Commissioners an invitation to attend an agricultural tour on June 25
for State legislators, City, County and appointed officials. He wanted to
encourage everyone to attend this function. He stated it was a lot of fun and you
learn a lot about agriculture and Kern County.
Commissioner Sprague asked if this would be a conflict regarding the Brown
Act? Mr. Hernandez stated you cannot attend a meeting of the full body where
there will be discussions of matters that pertain to items that the Commission
may have jurisdiction over. Mr. Hernandez said that he can provide an opinion of
what the Commission can and can't do while attending the meeting.
DISCUSSION AND ACTION REGARDING POSSIBLE CANCELLATION OF

Because of it being general plan amendment hearings on Thursday, June 17,
1999, it was decided that there will be a pre-meeting on June 14, 1999.
