Designated employees shall disclose the economic interests set forth in Section 2.06.030.

B. Individuals who are "consultants" to the City, as that term is defined in 2 CCR Section 18700(a)(2), are also designated employees and are required to disclose the economic interests set forth in Section 2.06.030. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Manager may determine in writing that a particular consultant 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 City Manager's determination is a public record and shall be retained for public inspection.
