Section 02
Conflict check
Threshold self-disclosure by covered persons. Roles, not home addresses. Non-response is published as a blank, not as a finding that someone holds the paper.
You must file if, in a fiscal year, you have more than $5,000 of interest in these bonds, or you own 5% or more of an entity that holds them. Filing is a short sworn statement to the clerk: yes or no, plus an amount band. No Social Security number, no account number, no exact position size.

If a covered person fails to disclose and is later shown to hold the bonds, that is an ethics violation, not a missing owner registry. Open the sworn-statement template.
Section 03
Fund-level sunlight
Sunlight without naming private people. Holders may reside anywhere on earth. This page still will not list them.

Plain sentence
No public beneficial-owner list exists — not for U.S. residents, not for anyone else on earth. Fund-level sunlight means a fund family that already reports a municipal sleeve. It does not mean a resident’s private position, here or abroad.
Section 04
Method
Short, public, no shop codes.
The county borrowed in public and pays from the General Fund in public. Current lenders sit behind a book-entry market built in the 1980s and 1990s. Beneficial owners of that paper may live in any country. Sunlight that matches the speed of county government is the vote, the yearly payment, the advisor file, and a targeted conflict rule — not a claim that nothing is known until every bond fund on earth is named.
- CJEU, joined cases C-37/20 and C-601/20, 22 November 2022 — no general-public natural-person holder list.
- Tower Amendment, 15 U.S.C. §78o-4(d) — federal-filing boundary. It does not bar a county ethics rule for its own officials and vendors.
- A missed covered-person filing is an ethics violation, not a missing owner registry.
