Ordinance Fact Sheet
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
DATE:May 20, 2024
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF TITLE 4, CHAPTER 4.100 OF THE PASADENA

TITLE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA AMENDING VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF TITLE 4, CHAPTER 4.100 OF THE PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE TO REFLECT THE MARCH 2024 CHARTER AMENDMENT PERTAINING TO ANNUAL LIGHT AND
POWER FUND TRANSFER
PURPOSE OF ORDINANC E
As directed by the City Council on May 6, 2024, this ordinance amends language in the Municipal Code pertaining to the Light & Power Fund transfer. Such language needs revision because Section 1408 of the Charter, which also discusses the transfer, was amended by Pasadena voters in March 2024.
REASON WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
The March 2024 Charter amendment removed the requirement to calculate "net income" for the annual Light & Power Fund transfer, as net income is no longer used in Generally Accepted Accounting Practices. The Municipal Code should be amended to also remove references to net income.
