4. OLD BUSINESS:  

  A.  FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE ON GOOD
       GOVERNMENT (To be heard at 7:00 p.m., or thereafter)
       Recommendation of Task Force on Good Government:  It is
       recommended that the City Council:
       (A) Concur with the Task Force on Good Government's proposed changes
       to the City Charter, Article XVII, Taxpayer Protection Act, as set forth in the
       "redline" text shown on Exhibit 1 of the agenda report to accomplish the
       following:               
           (1) Non-profits - The ban on receiving personal or campaign
       advantages should not apply to officers and directors from 501 (c)(3), (4), and
       (6) organizations (other than officers and directors of political action
       committees or who control political action committees controlled by such
       organizations), except that disclosure of such persons would continue to be
       required.  Section 1703 (b)(2). 
           (2) Contracts with the City - The TPA should be amended so that its
       provisions also cover persons who are bidding on or negotiating for contracts
       that are worth over $25,000 except those who are bidding on or receiving low
       bid contracts.  Section 1704 (c).
           (3) Contribution Limitations - The TPA should be amended to apply
       contribution limits to Pasadena races: $1,000 per election for City Council
       and $2,000 per election for Mayor, adjusted for cost of living increases every
       two years, rounded off to the nearest $100.  Section 1706.5.
           (4) Ballot Measure Committees - The TPA should also cover
       Pasadena public officials who raise money for local ballot measure
       committees that the official controls. Section 1703 (c) (3).
           (5) Outside Election Races - The TPA should only apply to officials
       and candidates in city races and not elections outside of Pasadena. Section
       1703 (c)(3).
           (6) Enforcement - The City should authorize the City Attorney to bring
       criminal actions except in cases involving elected City officials in which case
       the City Attorney should refer the complaint to the L.A. County District
       Attorney's office.   The current law that allows citizens to bring private civil
       actions should not be changed.   Section 1707 (a) and (c).
           (7) Subpoena Power - The TPA should give subpoena authority to the
       City Attorney and where referrals are made to it, the L.A. County District
       Attorney.  Section 1707 (d).
           (8) Agencies Outside the City - The TPA should only apply to
       Councilmembers or other City officials serving on outside boards as City
       representatives (e.g., the Burbank Airport Authority), if these other agencies
       have reporting requirements allowing compliance with the TPA.   Section
       1704 (b).
           (9) Thresholds - The thresholds for determining which decisions
       should be affected by the TPA should be the same (over $25,000) in most
       instances.  The only exceptions would be the grant of a tax abatement,
       exception or benefit, which should remain at over $5,000 in a twelve-month
       period and awarding of franchises worth over $50,000 in gross receipts.  The
       thresholds should be adjusted for cost of living increases every five years and
       rounded off to the nearest $1,000.  Section 1703 (a) (7) and (9).
           (10)   Disclosure Implementation - The files of the City listing those
       persons who would be prohibited from providing personal advantages to City
       officials who have made a decision benefitting them should be posted on the
       internet so that the records are available to the public in an easy-to-use and
       timely manner. Section 1705 (c).
           (11)   Cumulation - The TPA should eliminate the need to cumulate
       public benefits in amounts under $5,000 unless it is clear that the amounts
       will meet or exceed the thresholds.  Section 1703 (a) (8). 
           (12)   Franchises - The TPA should be clarified to require that the
       franchise has to be awarded by the City.  Section 1703 (a) (4).  
       (B)     It is further recommended that the City Council cause to be placed on
       the ballot at the next available city-wide election the Task Force on Good
       Government's proposed changes to the City Charter, Article XVII, Taxpayer
       Protection Amendment.
