| From: | Omar Sandoval
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | City Attorney
| | Subject: | Introduction and first reading of an Ordinance establishing a Nepotism Policy for Boards, Committees and Commissions as requested by City Council | Date: | 5/28/2019 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to consider the introduction and first reading of an ordinance establishing a nepotism policy for the City's boards, committees, and commissions. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
At the City Council meeting of May 14, 2019, the City Council approved by a 6-0-1 vote, with Council Member Klopfenstein absent, that the nepotism policy for employees be extended to the City's boards, committees and commissions. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The proposed ordinance attached amends the provisions of the Code pertaining to the qualifications of City boards, committees and commissions to add a policy restricting the appointment of relatives of City Council members, City Manager, department directors or a primary assistant of the City Manager to these bodies. The proposed policy is similar to the nepotism policy established for the hiring of City employees.
For purposes of the proposed policy, "relatives" includes a spouse; parent (including foster); sibling (including foster and step); children (including adoptive, foster or step); in-laws; grandparent or grandchild; aunt or uncle, niece or nephew; and any other legally related person living in the same household as the City Council member, City Manager, department director or primary assistant of the City Manager. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Approve introduction of the ordinance establishing a nepotism policy for boards, committees and commissions and pass it to second reading.
