This item will discuss the Los Alamitos proposed Charter Amendment to be placed on the November 5, 2024 ballot, for a vote from the public.
Amendments to the City's Charter can only be made by a majority vote of the people. As the Charter is 64 years old and has not had a revision since 1998, there are several aspects that are no longer in line with the best practices, efficiency, and economics.

City Council and Staff discussed the following:

• 306 responses received based on past voter information, and which registered voters would be most likely to vote in the upcoming election
• Concern regarding the timing and why changes weren’t proposed when the City transitioned into Districts
• Council approved the Charter Amendment as part of the City Manager’s 2024 goals
• Redistricting process had strict guidance for implementation that did not lend to a charter amendment at the time
• Lobbyist information and campaign was included to increase transparency measures and good governance
• Concern contribution limits are changing from the State default of $5,500 to $500

The Annual Business Meeting is currently scheduled to take place during the General Assembly on Friday, October 18, 2024 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The schedule is subject to change.

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.
Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.
General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024 ITEM NUMBER: 10C
To: Mayor Jordan B. Nefulda & Members of the City Council Presented By: Chet Simmons, City Manager
Matthew Lightner, Management Analyst
Subject: Resolution No. 2024-14 - City Council Handbook (2024 Edition)
SUMMARY
For the Council's consideration is the City Council Handbook. The handbook highlights and enhances usability, relevance, and effectiveness in supporting Council Members in their roles.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-14, entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE COUNCIL MEMBER HANDBOOK (2024 EDITION)".
BACKGROUND
The previous City Council Handbook was created by staff as a tool for incoming Council Members. It included a compilation of City policies and history. This version was not adopted by Council and has not been updated since 2020.
The City Council appointed then Council Member Hasselbrink and then Mayor Pro Tem Nefulda to the Council Member Handbook Ad Hoc Committee during the May 15, 2023, Council meeting. Staff reviewed surrounding areas and best practices to craft a draft handbook which was subsequently submitted to Mayor Nefulda and Mayor Pro Tem Hasselbrink for review. The Ad Hoc Committee approved the draft staff handbook that incorporated similar language from surrounding cities and suggestions made by the committee.
DISCUSSION
The Council Member Handbook serves as a valuable resource for Council Members, providing guidance, procedures, and best practices to assist them in carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively. The goal of the Handbook is to reflect current practices and legislation while assisting with the needs of Council Members and the community.
The Council Member Handbook means to provide Council Members with a introduction of the City and its organization. It provides a brief overview of Council meetings and legislative procedures. The goal is to help Council Members better their roles, proper protocols for interacting with residents, staff, and outside agencies. The Handbook is meant to serve as a tool for most everyday situations. It does not include every possible scenario.
Notwithstanding the legal requirements and regulations, some key features specific to Los Alamitos are highlighted below.
Section 2.5. Constituent Requests
In order to ensure our residents receive the information they're looking for and that the City can efficiently resolve their concerns, Section 2.5 provides guidance for Council Members to pass the concern to the City Manager so he may delegate to Staff accordingly. It provides an estimated response time of no more than 48 hours.
Section 4. Code of Conduct
This section provides practical guidance for conducting business as a Council Member.
Section 5. Governance Protocols
This section provides positive governance guidance to ensure a cooperative and efficient culture in Los Alamitos.
Section 6. Code of Ethics
This section supplements the state-required AB 1234: Ethics training by setting up guidelines specifically for the City of Los Alamtios.
Section 7. Printing Policy
The City has made great strides toward transitioning into the digital age. Transitioning to digital records has dramatically improved efficiency and transparency within the City. The City is also working towards becoming a Tree City. This section memorializes the City's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and ensuring Staff resources are used in the most effective manner possible.
Section 8. Enforcement of the Policy for Council Members This section adds accountability for Council Members.
Section 11.11. Dress Code and Professional Standards Policy Currently, the City of Los Alamitos has a Dress Code policy. However, this policy does not apply to the City Council. This section incorporates the policy for the City Council and assists in maintaining a professional image city-wide.
Section 12.2. Request for Information
This section provides clear direction for the Council to request information unrelated to a staff report that is of interest to them. Requests are to be made to the City Manager, who will then provide an anticipated delivery date based on current workloads within 10 days. If an item takes more than three hours of staff time, the item will be placed on a future agenda according to the agenda policy. Any information produced will be shared with the entire Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.

INTRODUCTION
The Los Alamitos City Council is the legislative body of the City and is composed of five members who are elected by the registered voters of their respective District to serve a four-year term. The City Council elects the Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem annually. The City's Municipal elections are held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years.
The City Council meets regularly once a month on the third Monday of the month. Through the City Manager, the City Council establishes local laws, sets policy, and develops civic goals for the City Staff to implement. The City Council has the authority to appoint the City Manager, City Attorney, City Treasurer, and Council Members to various local and regional committees, commissions, and boards.
The City of Los Alamitos is a Charter City, as opposed to a General Law City. A Charter is a written document that has been approved by the electorate and acts as a “Constitution” for the City. Amendments, revisions, and repeals of the Charter are handled in the same manner as the adoption – by a vote of the people. The California Constitution grants Charter Cities supremacy over “municipal affairs” but reserves supremacy over topics of state-wide interest.
The local laws of the City are established by Council Ordinance and are compiled in a book called the Los Alamitos Municipal Code. Other directives and policies of the City Council are recorded in Council Resolutions and Council Minutes.
The Los Alamitos City Charter stipulates that the official officers of the City are as follows:
Council Members, City Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, and the City Treasurer.

1. LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN LOS ALAMITOS
The City of Los Alamitos was incorporated in 1960 with all the regulatory and corporate powers of a municipal corporation.
The City Council acts as the City's governing body and is responsible for establishing policy direction for the City. In this role, the City Council serves much like the board of directors would for a private company and is responsible for developing long- and short-term goals for the organization to pursue. As with any municipal board, the City Council’s authority to provide direction is based on actions taken by the Council as a body at open and public meetings. In this regard, no individual Council member retains authority over policy decisions, and all actions require majority support of the City Council to see policy decisions enacted or goals pursued. The City Council is responsible to the community's citizens to see that local policies and laws address the needs of the City.
As the City Council serves as the City's governing board, the City Manager is responsible for implementing those policies and goals established by the City Council. In this role, the City Manager serves as the City’s Chief Executive Officer. The City Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the City’s various departments, including but not limited to decisions related to resource allocation, direction of City staff, workload management, project execution, and timing. The City Manager also serves as the City’s Director of Emergency Operations and is the liaison between the City Council and the City’s various employee groups.
Teamwork between the City Council, the City Manager, and the City’s staff is essential. The pooling of skills is crucial to resolving the many complex problems that face the City. The City Council and City Manager seek to enhance the effectiveness of local policy-making and municipal operations by bringing together skilled lawmakers, community representatives, and experts in municipal administration and management.
1.1 Mayor and Council Members
The Mayor and Members of the Council are elected to provide leadership in setting community goals and in formulating broad-based policies. The City Council is the focal point for identifying and interpreting the citizens' wishes and translating these into policy discussions. The City Council deliberates the merit of these issues and requests staff to develop potential policies or projects for the board’s consideration.
In Los Alamitos, the Mayor is not directly elected by the populous, but rather by their Council colleagues. In this role, the Mayor serves as the presiding officer of the City Council. The Mayor is charged with conducting the general business of the City Council’s meeting with the assistance of the City Clerk. This generally includes calling meetings to order, announcing the order of business as detailed on the agenda, calling for motions and votes, facilitating and monitoring discussions, maintaining order, and enforcing the City Council's rules and parliamentary procedures. While the Mayor represents the City in all ceremonial
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 7
1838057.1
and official affairs, it is important to remember that the Mayor does not hold any additional voting powers than the City’s other Council members.
With City Council approval, the Mayor signs all Ordinances, Resolutions, and other records of proceedings approved by the City Council. The Mayor Pro-Tem serves in the capacity of the Mayor during any absence or incapacitation of the Mayor. When the Mayor and Mayor Pro-Tem are absent from any meeting of the City Council, the most senior member of the City Council, as determined by years of service on the City Council or as appointed by the Mayor, shall be the presiding officer.
Successful goal setting and policy formulation largely depend on a good working relationship among City Council members. Open and honest communication about the potential City goals and objectives and their overall merit allows staff to develop effective and efficient policies for the City Council to consider. While the staff assists in analyzing community needs, suggesting action programs, and calculating the costs of proposals, the City Council has the final responsibility for establishing local policies that are appropriate for the Los Alamitos community.
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 8
1838057.1
2. YOUR ROLE AS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
2.1 Responsibilities
The City Council is the elected legislative and policy-making body of the City government.
The City Council is responsible to the citizens for:
• Establishing community-wide goals that address short- and long-range needs • Formulating policies that define a course of action that shape City operations • Providing quality services within available resources • Acting as a link between the Staff and local citizens Council Members are local leaders. The electorate expects the City Council to set the tone and direction for the goals and objectives of the City. Strategic planning and goal setting are the tools that enable a City Council to define its vision and determine the resources that will be made available for the staff to accomplish those goals.
2.2 Policy and Administration
A dictionary definition of "policy" states that it is "any plan or course of action designed to influence and determine decisions, actions, and other matters." For a City Council, policy is the business of making decisions about the community. Examples of policy decisions include:
• The decision to submit to voters a bond measure for capital improvements • Approval of land-use policies
• Decisions concerning projects which involve Federal and State grants as well as local expenditures
The distinction between policy and administration can sometimes be confusing. In its simplest terms, policy is the process of determining what is to be done, while administration is the process of determining how to do it. As such, a clear line exists between what is considered policy and what is considered administration. As a Council member, it is important to acknowledge and respect the different roles that each member of the organization plays in the policy development and implementation process.
The City Council has the final say in major decisions such as: adoption of the budget, acceptance of a new classification and compensation plan, selling a bond issue, or instituting a General Plan Update. While it has a dominant role in the decision to adopt or reject certain policy matters, the City Manager, Staff, and citizens play a prominent role in the development of those policies.
The City Council and Staff should discuss and clarify their respective roles and expectations of one another. The benefit is a more effective and harmonious partnership.
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 9
1838057.1
2.3 Administrative Rules and Regulations
The City’s rules and regulations, as adopted by the City Council and implemented by the City Manager, are compiled in the “Administrative Rules and Regulations”. These are available to Council Members and Staff via the City’s website here:
http://cityoflosalamitos.org/207/Administrative-Rules-Regulations.
Council is encouraged to read through each policy thoroughly and contact the City Manager with any questions. Below is a quick summary of important day-to-day policies included within the Administrative Rules and Regulations.
Administrative Regulation 1.4 – Contacts by Employees of the City Administrative Regulation 1.5 – Media Contact
The purpose of these regulations are to govern contact with the media, City Attorney, City Council and other Officials.
Administrative Regulation 1.9 – Requests for Inspection and/or Copying of Public Records The purpose of this regulation is to provide uniform procedures by which the City will respond to requests for records under the Public Records Act. Public Records Requests are coordinated through the City Clerk’s Office on a routine basis. In general, the City Council is not advised of requests that are received as they are routine in nature. However, Council will be made aware of any requests that require them to produce records and/or involve records related to a Council Member.
Administrative Regulation 2.2 – City Council Agenda Policy The purpose of this Regulation is to provide a uniform procedure for the preparation of the City Council agenda. The Council agenda is prepared in the City Clerk’s Office through coordination with each Department.
Administrative Regulation 6.2 – Travel Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for the reimbursement of certain actual and necessary expenses, incurred in the performance of assigned and/or official duties, by the City Council Members, appointed officials who are members of legislative bodies (as defined by Government Code Section 54952), Officials, the City Manager and Employees of the City of Los Alamitos.
2.4 Communication/Public Input
Elected officials not only represent their constituents and make decisions on their constituents' behalf, but they also have the opportunity to communicate with the public.
The City Council can take a leadership role in promoting two-way communication with the public. Citizens' views can be sought in a variety of ways: public meetings, advisory committees, citizen surveys, and volunteer assistance in City government. Similarly, the City Council can express its view by speaking to local civic groups and working with the press and other news media to provide accurate and up-to-date information.
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 10
1838057.1
2.5 Constituent Requests
Members of the City Council will frequently receive requests or complaints from residents or business owners. In most cases, City Staff can resolve these concerns. The important thing is for the Council Member to get the basic information and then pass this on to the City Manager. Concerns related to the provision of City services and/or requests for assistance communicated to the Mayor or City Council shall be given to the City Manager.
The City Manager will coordinate with Staff who will contact the resident with the concern directly. The City Manager shall provide direction to Staff for responding to the concern and the City Manager’s Office will coordinate the response.
Staff’s goal is to respond to the person within 48 hours, or on the first working day following a holiday or weekend, if at all possible. It is imperative for the proper flow of city activities that Council Members communicate and coordinate any complaints received from residents or business owners to the City Manager to allow for proper follow-up.
Council Members are discouraged from responding directly to concerns without coordinating with the City Manager’s Office to ensure a unified response and to prevent dual efforts in the event another department is already preparing a response.
2.6 Majority Decision Vs. Individual Opinion
If a member of the City Council appears before another governmental agency or organization to give a statement on an issue affecting the City, the Council Member should first indicate the majority position and opinion of the City Council. Personal opinions and comments may be expressed only if the Council Member clarifies that these statements do not represent the position of the City Council.
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 11
1838057.1
3. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS/REGULATIONS
3.1 The Los Alamitos Municipal Code
The Los Alamitos Municipal Code sets forth the regulatory, penal, and administrative laws of general application to the City. Local Ordinances adopted by the City Council are codified in the Municipal Code. These laws are enforceable by the City and violation constitutes a misdemeanor or infraction. The Municipal Code is divided into the following categories:
• Charter
• General Provisions
• Administration and Personnel
• Revenue and Finance
• Business Licenses and Regulations
• Animals
• Health and Safety
• Public Peace and Welfare
• Vehicles and Traffic
• Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places

The City’s Municipal Code is available on the City’s website and listed in the Quick Links to Useful Resources at the end of this Handbook.
3.2 The Brown Act
The Ralph M. Brown Act is a state law which provides that all meetings of a legislative body, City Council or its appointed advisory bodies, shall be open and public and all persons shall be permitted to attend. Notices of such meetings must be made 72 hours prior to the regularly scheduled meeting. A “meeting” takes place whenever a quorum is present and subject matter related to the City business is heard, discussed, or deliberated upon.
A guide to the Ralph M. Brown Act is available online and listed in the Quick Links to Useful Resources at the end of this Handbook.
3.3 The Political Reform Act
The Political Reform Act (Act) of 1974 defines the economic conflict of interest law for the Mayor and Council Members. The Act prohibits a public official from using his or her official position to influence a governmental decision in which he or she has a financial interest. As stated in the California Government Code § 87100 (2023) “A public official at any level of state or local government shall not make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 12
1838057.1
use the public official’s official position to influence a governmental decision in which the official knows or has reason to know the official has a financial interest. The interests of spouses and dependent children must also be considered.
Economic interest is defined broadly and includes:
• Sources of income
• Real property interest worth $2,000 or more
• Investments such as stocks or bonds
• Interest in business entities worth $2,000 or more
• Any business entity in which the individual is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or any position of management
• Interest in trusts
• Loans
• Gift or gifts from any single source with an aggregate value of $50 or more in a calendar year
• Any other economic interest that might benefit, directly or indirectly, the individual or his or her immediate family
3.4 Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)
The Fair Political Practices Commission has primary responsibility for the impartial and effective administration of the Political Reform Act. The Act regulates campaign financing, conflicts of interest, lobbying, and governmental ethics. The Commission’s objectives are to ensure that public officials act in a fair and unbiased manner in the governmental decisionmaking process, to promote transparency in government, and to foster public trust in the political system.
To learn more about the FPPC, please visit them online at: https://www.fppc.ca.gov/.
3.5 Conflict of Interest
Whenever a Council Member believes that there may be an economic conflict of interest, he or she should seek an opinion from the Fair Political Practices Commission. At any time, it is safest to err on the side of caution by publicly identifying the conflict and then abstaining from votes on issues that he or she believes might pose an economic conflict of interest. If a Council Member abstains, the reason for the abstention must be declared for the public record.
Conflict of interest is a complex issue. Council Members should carefully consider and monitor “gifts” from any person or organization whether the gift is financial support, loans, event tickets, meals, etc. Many of these gifts may need to be reported and may present a conflict of interest when considering and/or voting on projects or issues related to the person presenting the gift. Questions relating to conflict of interest should be directed to the City Attorney or your personal attorney.
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 13
1838057.1
In addition, the City is required to determine which of its other officials, commissioners, and employees perform duties that involve potential conflicts of interest. The City has designated these employees in its Conflict of Interests Code, which is adopted by Resolution and updated bi-annually. These employees are required to disclose their economic interests. The City’s conflict of interest code reflects the current structure of the agency and properly identifies all officials and employees who should be filing a Form 700.
3.6 State Mandated Economic Disclosure Statements (Form 700) The Political Reform Act of 1974 provides that certain municipal officers must disclose their "economic interests" annually on forms provided by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC). These municipal officials are members of the City Council, City Manager, City Treasurer, City Attorney, and members of the City Planning Commission.
Statement of Economic Interests forms must disclose investments and business positions in business entities, interest in real property held, and income received during the reporting period from sources that are located or doing business in the City of Los Alamitos. Gifts valued at $50 or more are reportable regardless of jurisdiction. Council Members are generally prohibited from receiving a gift or gifts totaling more than $590 (Effective January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2024) from a single individual or entity in a calendar year (this amount is adjusted for inflation every odd-numbered year). Newly elected Council Members must file an Assuming Office Statement that discloses any investments or interests in real property held by the Member on the date he or she assumed office. The statement must also disclose income received during the 12 months prior to the date the office was assumed.
Statements of Economic Interests are submitted by these officials to the FPPC in Sacramento. These forms are required within 30 days of assuming or leaving office, as well as annually, and are public records.
A copy of the Political Reform Act, as amended, is available on the FPPC’s website at www.fppc.ca.gov.
3.7 Ethics Training (AB 1234)
The California State Legislature adopted AB 1234 in 2006, which requires all elected and some appointed local government officials to receive ethics training once every two years.
Training may be completed by attending a training session or through an approved online course. Certificates of completion are to be kept on file with the City Clerk. The City Clerk will provide information on training courses, or it may be obtained from the Fair Political Practices’ website at http://www.localethics.fppc.ca.gov/. Individuals who do not complete the required training will not be eligible for reimbursement from the City for travel and training.
3.8 Harassment Training (AB 1661)
The California State Legislature adopted AB 1661 in 2017, which requires all elected
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 14

6. CODE OF ETHICS
The following principles shall constitute the Los Alamitos Code of Ethics, applicable to all members of the City Council. Council Members entering office shall sign a statement affirming they read and understood the Code of Ethics. In addition, this Code of Ethics shall be periodically reviewed and updated by the City Council:
E1. Act in the public interest: Recognizing that stewardship of the public interest must be their primary concern, Council Members will work for the common good of the community and not for any private or personal interest, and they will assure fair and equal treatment of all persons, claims, and transactions coming before the City Council.
E2. Comply with the law: Council Members shall comply with the laws of the nation, the State of California, and the City of Los Alamitos in the performance of their public duties.
These laws include, but are not limited to: the United States and California Constitutions; the Charter; the Municipal Code; laws pertaining to conflicts of interest, election campaigns, financial disclosures, employer responsibilities, and open processes of government.
Council Members shall also comply with all applicable City policies and procedures.
E3. Conduct of Council Members: The professional and personal conduct of Council Members must be above reproach and should avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Council Members shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges or verbal attacks upon the character of other members of the City Council, City staff, or members of the public.
E4. Respect for the process: Council Members shall perform their duties in accordance with the processes and rules of order established by the City Council governing the deliberation of public policy issues, meaningful involvement of the public, and implementation of policy decisions of the City Council by City staff.
E5. Incompatible employment: No Council Member, City employee, or other public official shall engage in or accept private employment or render services for private interests, when such employment or service is incompatible with the proper discharge of his/her official duties or would tend to impair his/her independence of judgment or action in the performance of his/her official duties.
E6. Use of public property: No Council Member shall request or permit the use of Cityowned vehicles, equipment, materials, or property for personal convenience or profit, except when such services are available to the public generally, and in the same manner as available to the public, or are provided as City policy for the use of such official in the conduct of official business. No official shall use the time of any City employee during working hours for personal purposes.
E7. Contracts with City: Council Members shall not have a financial interest in any business transaction or contract with the City, or in the sale of real estate, materials, supplies or services to the City, except as permitted in the conflict of interest statutes of the state.
E8. Disclosure of interest in legislation: A Council Member who has a financial or other
Council Member Handbook – August 2024 Page 20
1838057.1
private interest in any legislation shall disclose on the record of the City Council or other appropriate authority the nature and extent of such interest.
E9. Conflict of interest: In order to assure their independence and impartiality on behalf of the common good, Council Members shall not use their official positions to influence government decisions in which they have a material financial interest. In accordance with the law, Council Members shall disclose investments, interests in real property, sources of income, and gifts; and abstain from participating in deliberations and decision-making where conflicts, as determined under applicable laws, may exist.

When presenting their individual opinions and positions, Council Members shall explicitly state they do not represent the City Council or the City and shall not allow the inference that they do.
E12.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: August 19, 2024 ITEM NUMBER: 10E
To: Mayor Jordan B. Nefulda & Members of the City Council Presented By: Kain Gallaugher, Captain
Subject: 2023 Annual Military Equipment Report
SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 481 requires any law enforcement agency that maintains, acquires, and/or uses “military equipment,” as defined by statute, to obtain the approval, by ordinance, of the agency’s governing body. Further, any local agency governing body that has approved such an ordinance must review that ordinance annually and vote whether to renew such ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-34, entitled, "A RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA, RENEWING ORDINANCE NO. 2022-04, AN
UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOS ALAMITOS,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING AND APPROVING LOS ALAMITOS POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICY 709 MILITARY EQUIPMENT USE POLICY, IN COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 481 (AB 481)".
BACKGROUND
On September 30, 2021, Assembly Bill 481 required the governing bodies of law enforcement agencies to adopt a military equipment use policy by ordinance no later than May 1, 2022. The City complied with AB 481 and adopted Ordinance No. 2022-04 approving Policy 709 – Military Equipment on August 15, 2022.
AB 481 also requires law enforcement agencies to submit to the City Council an annual military equipment report on the use of the equipment, any complaint(s) or concern(s) regarding the use of the equipment, results of any internal audits on the use of the equipment, the annual costs for the equipment, the quantity possessed by the agency, and the intention to purchase additional equipment in the following year. In addition, within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing the report, a well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting must be held to allow for public comments.
On June 24, 2024, the City Council received and filed the Department’s 2023 Military Equipment Annual Report which set forth the information referenced above. Thereafter, on August 19, 2024, prior to the meeting of City Council, the Department held a well-publicized community engagement meeting as required by AB 481. AB 481 provides that the City Council must review its military equipment policy approval ordinance at least annually and must vote on whether to renew the ordinance, revise the ordinance, or repeal the ordinance.
Staff notes that after Ordinance No. 2022-04 was adopted, the Los Alamitos Police Department Policy Manual was renumbered. Policy 709 – Military Equipment has been renumbered, without substantive change, to Police No. 707 – Military Equipment.
DISCUSSION
Items deemed to be “military equipment” by AB 481 are used as a component of overall best practices for law enforcement agencies throughout the country. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by law enforcement agencies to enhance safety for both citizens and officers.The term “military equipment,” as used in AB 481, does not necessarily refer to equipment that has been used by the military.
Pursuant to AB 481, items deemed to be “military equipment” include, but are not limited to, armored vehicles, command and control vehicles, pepper balls, less lethal shotguns, less lethal 40mm projectile launchers, and flashbangs. These items are regularly used by law enforcement agencies throughout the country to provide peace officers with the ability to safely resolve volatile situations which might otherwise lead to the need for use of lethal force. Loss of these items would jeopardize the welfare of the City’s residents and officers alike.
As reflected in the 2023 Military Equipment Annual Report, the equipment utilized by the Department pursuant to its Military Equipment Policy was used in a manner consistent with the City Council’s approval in Ordinance No. 2022-04. Further, there were no violations of the Department’s Military Equipment Policy in the calendar year 2023, nor were any complaints received regarding the Department’s use of and military equipment.
To maintain transparency and meet the reporting requirements of AB 481, the Los Alamitos Police Department has created the attached “MILITARY EQUIPMENT ANNUAL REPORT.” This report details the reporting and findings of the requirements outlined in Government Code 7072(a). Concurrently with the submission of this report to Council, staff has prepared Resolution No. XXXXX. Council is asked to adopt this Resolution renewing Ordinance No. 2022-04 of the City Council of the City of Los Alamitos which will, in effect, renew the Council’s approval of the Los Alamitos Police Department’s Military Equipment Policy.

REMINGTON 870 LESS LETHAL SHOTGUN
Description: The Remington 870 Less Lethal Shotgun is used to deploy the less lethal 12-gauge Super-Sock Beanbag Round up to a distance of 75 feet. The range of the weapon system helps to maintain space between officers and a suspect reducing the immediacy of the threat, which is a principle of de-escalation.
Quantity: 10
Purchase Price: $550 each
DRAG STABILIZED 12-GAUGE BEANBAG ROUND
Description: A less lethal 2.4-inch 12-gauge shotgun round firing a ballistic fiber bag filled with 40 grams of lead shot at a velocity of 270-290 feet per second (FPS).
Drag Stabilized rounds are discharged from a dedicated 12-gauge shotgun that is distinguishable by an orange buttstock and foregrip. This round provides accurate and effective performance when fired from the approved distance of not fewer than five (5) feet. The maximum effective range of this munition is up to 75 feet from the target. The Drag Stabilized Model is in its deployed state immediately upon exiting the barrel. It does not require a minimum range to "unfold" or "stabilize." The Drag Stabilized Model is an aerodynamic projectile. However, accuracy is relative to the shotgun, barrel length, environmental conditions, and the operator. The Drag Stabilized Model is very accurate.
However, effectiveness depends on many variables, such as distance, clothing, stature, and the point where the projectile impacts.
