Staff Report Item 13
TO: 3CE Policy Board of Directors
FROM: Robert M. Shaw, CEO
SUBJECT: Consider and provide direction regarding proposed 3CE Code of Conduct DATE: September 19, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Policy Board consider and provide direction regarding proposed 3CE Code of Conduct.
BACKGROUND:
On August 26, 2024, the Policy Board held a Special Meeting to discuss improvements to governance structure, including certain “General Recommendations” which directed staff to prepare and implement a Code of Conduct, prepare board procedures, and enhanced onboarding for new directors. The Operations Board considered the same draft 3CE Code of Conduct at their meeting on September 18, 2024.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Consistent with the identified goals of the Operations and Policy Boards, as well as the Ad Hoc Committee to improve operations and communications, a Code of Conduct will establish clear standards, obligations, and expectations of both the Boards’ and staffs’ commitment to each other, the agency, and non-seated member agency jurisdictions.
One of the main components of the proposed Code of Conduct includes a seated board member’s obligation, in collaboration with staff where appropriate, to keep non-seated jurisdictions informed on matters involving the agency and to solicit input on important developments.
As proposed, the Code of Conduct builds on the Boards’, and staffs’, ethical and legal obligations but does not seek to duplicate conflict of interest state law provisions, adherence to the Ralph M. Brown Act as codified in Government Code §§54950–54963, or to identify procedures raising or resolving issues – which are proposed to be addressed, if necessary, in a Board procedural manual. If adopted, the Code
of Conduct would further ensure that all Board members, while exercising their office, conduct themselves in a manner that will promote public confidence, trust, and fair operation of 3CE for the benefit of its customers.
The Policy Board’s input and direction will be incorporated into a final draft for the Policy Board’s consideration at a future meeting.
CONCLUSION:
The Boards’ feedback and direction will assist staff’s preparation of a 3CE Code of Conduct intended to better engage with non-seated jurisdictions, improve communication, and facilitate more streamlined operations.

III. Obligations of Agency Staff:

2. Directors shall review agenda materials in advance, be prepared and exercise care in discussing the issues and business on the agenda.
3. Director votes should reflect their independent judgment regarding 3CE’s best interests, informed, among other things, by their understanding of customer needs and viewpoints within the service territory that their seat represents.
4. Directors commit to keep Alternate Directors appraised of 3CE matters and coordinate with their alternative members to assist them in preparing for meetings that they attend in their primary capacity.
5. Directors from shared seats commit to coordinating with staff to keep shared seat counterpart jurisdictions’ governing bodies apprised of 3CE business and key developments. Such coordination may include:
a. When feasible, inviting or joining 3CE staff at regional meetings, open houses, or open forums to share perspectives, updates and solicit feedback.
VII. External Communications:
1. 3CE welcomes and invites the public’s participation in 3CE public meetings.
2. When Community Advisory Council vacancies occur, Policy Board Directors shall solicit nominations to facilitate diverse representation of public stakeholders.
3. Directors and staff shall not disclose to third parties confidential financial, personnel, proprietary, or trade secret information or other matters protected by law to third parties.
4. Directors and staff shall not violate the confidentiality of closed session discussions.
5. When serving on external committees, councils or Boards, Directors strive to faithfully articulate 3CE’s official position on an issue.
