Reapproval of appointments to serve on outside boards by the City Council for which compensation or a
stipend is provided.
DISCUSSION
On or about September 23, 2011, the City became aware of a new requirement for the method of
appointments of City Council members to outside boards that receive a stipend and/or salary. Since at
least 1973, the City Council has unanimously approved the appointment of council members to serve on
various boards as a Consent Calendar Item. This practice is common amongst many local jurisdictions
and has been done without challenge. Nonetheless, in an effort to comply with a new interpretation of the
conflict of interest laws by the Fair Political Practices Commission, the City Council is hereby requested to
re-approve appointments to outside boards.
Attached is a list of current members that represent the City on outside boards for which compensation is
provided. Staff recommends that the individual council member being considered for an appointment as
either a representative or alternate abstain from such item and that all future appointments be placed on
the Regular Business Calendar of the City Council Meeting Agenda to vote on the matter separately and
not by unanimous consent.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
