TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY ATTORNEY
DATE:June 10, 2024

TITLE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PASADENA MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 2, ARTICLE 2, CHAPTERS 2.40, 2.265, AND 2.275 TO CENTRALIZE THE CITY'S RISK
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE
On May 13, 2024, the City Council directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance that centralizes the City's Risk Management functions within the City Manager's Office.
The Municipal Code presently assigns responsibility for Workers Compensation, Occupational Safety and Loss Control, Liability Claims and Insurance to the Finance Department and responsibility for providing staff support to the Accessiblity and Disability Commission to the Parks Recreation and Community Services Department.
Enterprise Risk Management is not presently referenced in the Municpal Code,nor is responsibility for providing support and general direction to the City's Internal Audit function.
The proposed ordinance will implement the changes in the Municpal Code that are necessary to centralize these functions in the City Manager's Office and add a new, ongoing responsibility to the City Manager's Office for Enterprise Risk Management.
Additionally, the proposed ordinance codifies the City Manager's Office's role of providing support and general direction, as requested, to the City's Internal Audit function.
MEETING OF 06/10/2024_
AGENDA ITEM NO. 24
REASON WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
The functions of the City Manager, Parks, Recreation and Community Services, and Finance Departments are codified within Chapters 2.40, 2.265, and 2.275 of the Pasadena Municipal Code, respectively, and an ordinance is required to amend these chapters. Responsibility for Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Audit are currently unassigned in the Pasadena Municipal Code.
PROGRAMS. DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED
The centralizing of the Risk Management functions will move functions from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services and Finance Departments to the City Manager's Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed ordinance shall have no fiscal impact to the City.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On this same date, Council will be asked to find that the proposed amendments are exempt from environment review under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), the Common Sense Exemption, that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment.
