C. Legislative Policy Committee
(1) FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE TASK FORCE ON GOOD
GOVERNMENT
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.
