Ethics and Fiscal Training Records

Ethics and Fiscal Training Records

California Senate Bill 827 requires local agencies with public websites to give clear instructions and contact information explaining how the public can request copies of ethics and fiscal/financial training records for covered City officials.

Members of the public may request training records using the process described below.

Members of the public may request the following records:

• Ethics training records (AB 1234) - Required every two years for covered officials. Training must be completed within six months of assuming office (starting January 1, 2026).
• Fiscal and financial training records (SB 827) - Officials serving on or after January 1, 2026 must complete their first training by January 1, 2028, so some records may not yet be available.

How to Submit a Request

Submit your request for records online through the Public Records Act Request Portal.

Response Time

Requests are processed in accordance with the California Public Record Act (CPRA), which establishes timelines and disclosure requirements for public agencies. The City Clerk's Office reviews each request and provides responsive records as promptly as possible.
