The Appendix to the code, which lists the designated positions within the agency and the corresponding disclosure categories for each position. Prior to the time the disclosure forms are distributed on an annual basis, the list is reviewed with the department directors to determine if there are additions or deletions that need to be made. The positions on the attached Designated Employees List were Designated Employee List December 14, 2004 Page 2 determined in cooperation with the department heads by evaluating each position to determine their job duties and corresponding disclosure categories.
