TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Theresa Devoy, City Clerk, CMC
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 24-09 – APPOINTING AN ALTERNATE TO THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT NOS. 2 AND 18 BOARD
Background:
The Los Angeles County Sanitation District require resolutions to appoint members of the City Council to serve as the City’s alternate on the Board of Directors. Historically, the Vice Mayor has served as the alternate on the Los Angeles County City Selection Committee. However, Vice Mayor Ayala is unable to serve as the Alternate. As such, Councilmember Ramirez has indicated his availability to serve as the Alternate in place of the Vice Mayor.
The Sanitation District provides a stipend to its Directors. The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) adopted a rule (Regulation 18702.5) that states it is a disqualifying conflict of interest for a council member to participate in decisions to appoint themselves to serve as the City representative to those organizations that provide a stipend or other compensation unless the City posts on its website a form provided by the FPPC that includes: (a) a list of each appointed position eligible for a stipend; (b) the amount of the stipend for each position; (c) the public official’s name who has been appointed to the position; (d) the name of the public official, if any, who has been appointed as an alternate; and (e) the term of the position.
The City Clerk’s office has posted the required form (Form 806) as mandated by the FPPC on the City’s website prior to this meeting in accordance with the FPPC Regulation and the instructions that accompany the Form 806. The form has been updated to identify Councilmember Rick Ramirez as the Alternate for the Sanitation District.
Resolution No. 24-09 has been prepared and is attached appointing Councilmember Ramirez as the Alternate Director for the Sanitation Districts.
