A. FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE ON GOOD
GOVERNMENT (Pending motion by Vice Mayor Madison to approve the
Task Force on Good Government recommendations and the Legislative
Policy Committee recommendations)
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.
Recommendations of the Legislative Policy Committee: At a special
meeting held on June 7, 2006, the Legislative Policy Committee took straw
poll votes on the recommendations of the Task Force, as follows:
The Committee recommends support of all of the Task Force
recommendations. The Committee's straw poll votes were unanimous on
Task Force Recommendations (2) Contracts with the City; (4) Ballot Measure
Committees; (5) Outside Election Races; (6) Enforcement; (7) Subpoena
Power; (8) Agencies Outside the City; (9) Thresholds; (10) Disclosure
Implementation; (11) Cumulation; and (12) Franchises.
There was majority consensus of the Committee to recommend support
of Task Force Recommendations (1) Non-Profits and (3) Contribution Limits,
with Councilmember Holden objecting.
The following are actions of the Committee pertaining to the issues
referenced in the City Attorney's June 7, 2006 memorandum entitled
"Proposed General Changes to TPA" (Attachment A of City Clerk's cover
memorandum):
Pre-Contract Black Out Period There was unanimous consensus of
the Committee to not delete the words "person or" (as recommended by the
City Attorney) in proposed Charter language for Section 1704 (c), with the
first sentence to remain as proposed by the Task Force, as follows: "No
person or entity who bids on a contract with the City, or enters . . . ." There
was also unanimous consensus of the Committee to replace the City
Attorney's proposed new second sentence for said section ("Excluded from
this prohibition are all employees or individual members of the entity.") with
the following replacement sentence: "The prohibition on campaign
contributions set forth in the preceding sentence shall also apply to officers,
directors, trustees and 10% shareholders of the entity bidding on a contract with
the City, but shall not apply to employees of the entity who are not officers,
directors, trustees or 10% shareholders thereof."
Application of the TPA to Non-Incumbent Candidates There was
unanimous consensus of the Committee to have no recommendation on
applying the TPA to non-incumbents, and allow the full Council to address the
issue.
Restrictions on Employees There was unanimous consensus of the
Committee to recommend that Section 1704 of the TPA be amended, with
the amendment to apply to employees only (and not elected officials or
appointed officials serving on advisory bodies), to keep the current one-year
restriction after the official's departure from office, but change the current
five-year restriction to two years from the date the official (employee)
approves the public benefit.
Replacing Ban With a Contribution Cap There was majority consensus
of the Committee (Chair Bogaard and Councilmember Tyler) to recommend
that there be no change to the current total ban on campaign contributions
that may be given by public benefit recipients. (Councilmember Holden
objected, and voiced support for a $250 campaign contribution cap.)
The following are actions of the Committee pertaining to issues
referenced in the City Attorney's June 7, 2006 memorandum entitled
"Proposed Changes to TPA As Applied to Land Use Matters" (Attachment B
of City Clerk's cover memorandum) and City Attorney's February 23, 2006
memorandum entitled "Task Force on Good Government's Final
Recommendations" (attached to Task Force's final report):
Administrative Burden of TPA as Applied to Land Use Matters There
was unanimous consensus of the Committee to recommend that the extent of
the TPA's application to land use decisions be addressed through
administrative guidelines.
Authority to Issue Guidelines and Interpretations There was
unanimous consensus of the Committee to recommend approval of the City
Attorney's recommendation (see City Attorney's memorandum dated
February 23, 2006, attached to the Task Force's final report) to amend
Section 1707 (e) with specific Charter language to grant authority to the City
to adopt guidelines for implementation of the TPA that are consistent with the
findings and declarations set forth in Section 1702 of the TPA.
Task Force Recommendation to Place Recommendations on the Next
Available City-wide Election The Committee acknowledged that should the
City Council reach a conclusion on these approaches by the end of July
2006, these recommendations could be placed on the November 7, 2006
ballot for consideration by the voters.

Committee reviewed and discussed the above topics of contingency
adjustments, General Contractor Change Order No. 6, and the contract
amendment with DMJM for construction management services and
recommended the following:
The Committee concurred that theses changes are reasonable and
consistent with ongoing construction activities of similar projects. The
Committee recommended that the City Council authorize the allocation
of $300,283 from Project Contingency and increase Contract
No. 18,768-1 with Clark Construction by $208,283 and increase
