   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.
