PLACENTIA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: January 13, 2026
Submitted by: Matthew Di Mario
From: Public Works
Subject:

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING GRANT APPLICATION AND SUPPORT FOR THREE REGIONAL TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZATION PROJECTS (RTSSP):

ALTA VISTA STREET, PLACENTIA AVENUE AND BASTANCHURY ROAD CORRIDORS Financial Impact:

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this recommended action.

Summary:

In August 2025, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) issued the 2026 Call for Projects for the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program (RTSSP) or Project "P" funded through Measure M2. OCTA considers coordinating traffic signals across jurisdictional boundaries a major component in enhancing County-wide traffic flow and reducing congestion. Traffic corridors considered for grant funding are reviewed for high traffic volumes and the measurable benefit of interagency signal synchronization. There are three projects that are proposed for the 2026 RTSSP, which are along the following corridors: Alta Vista Street, Placentia Avenue and Bastanchury Road. These corridors involve the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, and Yorba Linda and Caltrans. OCTA has requested resolutions of support from each respective City Council for the RTSSP projects along the three corridors. This action will adopt resolutions authorizing the application and support for these projects.

Recommendation:

Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Resolution No. R-2026-01, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, authorizing the City's participation in an application for funds to the Orange County Transportation Authority under the competitive Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program; and

2. Adopt Resolution No. R-2026-02, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, approving the submittal of the Placentia Avenue Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the competitive Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program; and

3. Adopt Resolution No. R-2026-03, a Resolution of the City Council of the City of 18 Placentia, California, approving the submittal of the Alta Vista Street Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Project to the Orange County Transportation Authority for funding under the competitive Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Program.

Strategic Plan Statement:

There is no specific City Council adopted Five-Year Strategic Goal or objective related to this agenda item.

Discussion:

The Comprehensive Transportation Funding Programs (CTFP), administered by the OCTA, has been developed to help fund City improvement projects throughout Orange County. OCTA has issued the 2026 CTFP Call for Projects for funding under the Project RTSSP. This call is to fund projects for a three-year period with implementation in the first year and signal monitoring for two (2) subsequent years. Placentia is eligible to apply for and compete with other cities within Orange County for funding signal synchronization projects under the RTSSP. The project must be on a priority corridor network, or the signal synchronization network identified in the Regional Traffic Signal Synchronization Master Plan or the Master Plan of Arterial Highways. Furthermore, the project must be multi-jurisdictional and have documented support from all participating jurisdictions. The RTSSP requires that all participating local agencies provide minimum matching funds of twenty percent (20%) for each project. The matching funds may be from local funds or in-kind services from local agency staff. OCTA, in conjunction with the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba Linda ("Cities") and Caltrans have determined the corridors of Alta Vista Street, Placentia Avenue and Bastanchury Road to be corridors in Orange County worth consideration for Measure M2 funding.

There are three proposed projects relating to the three corridors. The first project is along Alta Vista Street which spans from Kraemer Boulevard to Van Buren Street. This corridor includes six (6) signals, with one additional signal included as an offset location. Placentia will be the lead agency for the implementation of this project. The second project is along the Placentia Avenue corridor. In Placentia, the corridor starts at Bastanchury Road to Palm Drive and begins again at Fender Avenue and continues to La Jolla Street. There are a total of ten (10) signals in Placentia that are part of this project. The cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, and Caltrans are also in collaboration with this project, with City of Placentia as the lead agency. The last RTSSP project is along the Bastanchury Road corridor. In Placentia the corridor begins at McCormack Lane and ends at Placentia Avenue and consists of six (6) signals. The cities of Fullerton and Yorba Linda are in collaboration for this project, with Yorba Linda as the lead agency for implementation. The RTSSP projects allow agencies to implement traffic signal timing coordination and communications equipment improvements along the corridor. If these projects are selected for funding, the City of Placentia will modernize existing traffic signal technology at various signals. Some of these improvements will include new traffic signal controllers and cabinets, fiber optic, video vehicle detection, CCTV camera, audible pedestrian push button, and new workstations for the Traffic Management Center. These improvements will help ensure the signals along each corridor can facilitate and operate with optimized synchronized timing.

The estimated cost of the Alta Vista Street traffic signal improvements for Placentia’s share is $562,480. OCTA will cover 80% of the costs through Measure M funded RTSSP Grant Program. This means that the City will contribute the remaining $112,496. The City of 19 Placentia’s share for the Placentia Avenue traffic signal improvements is $993,860. OCTA will cover 80% of these costs through Measure M funds. Placentia will contribute the remining 20% of the cost, which is $198,772. The estimated cost of the Bastanchury Road traffic signal improvements for Placentia’s share is $574,035. Like the previous projects, OCTA will contribute Measure M funds to cover 80% of the costs. Placentia will contribute $114,807 to cover project costs for the Bastanchury Road traffic signal improvements. The combined total for the City of Placentia’s contribution across three RTSSP projects is $426,075.

The RTSSP grant applications were submitted on November 20, 2025. Resolutions by the City Council are required to affirm and formally authorize the submittal of the grant funding applications. Should the projects be awarded this grant by OCTA next spring, Staff will return to the City Council with Cooperative Agreements between the Cities which will outline each agency's responsibilities and financial commitment. In addition, the projects will be added to the City's Capital Improvement Program Budget as part of the annual budget preparation process.

Fiscal Impact Summary:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action. Should the projects be awarded grant funding in spring 2026, the City would not receive any invoices for the project cost until late 2027, when construction of the project is expected to be completed. Staff proposes to include these projects in the FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program Budget for the City's share of the project cost, which totals $426,075 among all three RTSSP projects.

Placentia’s costs for the following projects are $112,496 for the Alta Vista Street project, $198,772 for the Placentia Ave project, and $114,807 for the Bastanchury Road project. The City has typically funded these projects with a combination of Citywide Traffic Development Impact Fees, AQMD Subvention Funds, Gas Tax, and General Fund dollars. Placentia will act as the lead agency for implementing the projects for the Alta Vista Street and Placentia Avenue corridors. The City of Yorba Linda will act as the lead agency for the implementation of the Bastanchury Road corridor project.

DESIGNATION OF INDIVIDUALS AUTHORIZED TO INVEST CITY MONIES IN THE LOCAL

AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF)
Financial Impact:

Fiscal Impact:

None.

Summary:

The City of Placentia collects taxes and fees to supply City services to the public. In managing the City’s finances, the Finance Department regularly invests funds into the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).

LAIF is established by the State Treasury under Government Code Section 16429.1 et. seq. for the deposit of money from a local agency for purposes of investment by the State Treasurer. LAIF requires a resolution approved by the City Council to participate in the program and requires that City Council designate authorized Staff to deposit or withdraw funds. This resolution will designate the City Administrator, newly appointed Director of Finance and the City Treasurer as those authorized for LAIF transactions.

Recommendation:

Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council:

Adopt Resolution No. R-2026-06, A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Placentia, California, authorizing investment of monies in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).

Discussion:

LAIF is a voluntary program created by statute, (16429.1 California Government Code). LAIF was established in 1977 as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars. It offers the City the ability to safely invest funds until they are needed. LAIF will only accept funds from one designated City account and will only transfer funds to that same account. There is no ability to transfer funds to an account that is not owned by the City of Placentia. In addition, the City’s investment in LAIF is in conformance with its Investment Policy.

LAIF requires a resolution approved by the City Council to participate in the program and 27 requires that City Council designate the Staff authorized to deposit or withdraw funds. This resolution will designate the City Administrator, the newly appointed Director of Finance and City Treasurer as the City of Placentia Staff authorized. The Director of Finance and City Administrator will be the primary staff involved in LAIF transactions. The City Treasurer is included as a “back up” staff member, should either the City Administrator or Director of Finance not be available. It should be noted that in addition to the LAIF transfer form, the City has established a prerequisite LAIF transfer form and policy, which requires the approval of the Director of Finance, City Treasurer and City Administrator prior to conducting any actual transfers.

2. Direct Staff to notify all affected agencies and committees of the updated appointments, post FPPC Form 806, and update the City’s website; and

3. Review and provide feedback on the Committee, Commission, and Advisory Board Manual (Attachments 4 and 5) for future adoption.

Discussion:

Each year, following City Council reorganization and/or the swearing in of new Council Members, the Mayor and City Council consider appointments to numerous intergovernmental agencies, associations, and City subcommittees. These include, but are not limited to:

League of California Cities - Orange County Division
Association of California Cities - Orange County
34 Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District
Orange County Sanitation District
Santa Ana Flood Control Protection Agency
Southern California Association of Governments

Mayor Wanke is completing the first year of a two-year term on the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District and may only be replaced for cause under §2024 of the State Health and Safety Code (Attachment 2).

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) requires that Form 806 be posted on the City’s website to disclose additional compensation received when officials appoint themselves to positions on other public agency boards or commissions (Attachment 3).

This annual appointment process also provides an opportunity to review the City's internal Committee Commission & Advisory Board manual for any necessary updates or modifications. A red-line version of the manual as well as a clean version is attached for review.

I. INTRODUCTION

This Committee Commission and Advisory Board Manual has been prepared in order to provide initial orientation for new members of advisory bodies to the City Council. The obligations of these positions are great, and it is hoped that this Manual will ease the assumption of these responsibilities.

For convenience and brevity, all references to commissions hereafter include all advisory bodies, whether officially designated as a board, commission, committee or Ad-Hoc committee. In all instances, appointment to such a body, regardless of its formal designation, is both an honor and a heavy responsibility. Not only does it signify the confidence of the City Council in the member's wisdom and judgment, but places upon the member the attendant duties of regular attendance at meetings and consistent working and voting towards an implementation of the general public interest. Such a change is, at times, not easily borne and necessary decisions not easily made.

Notwithstanding the self-discipline required in public service, each advisory body member may take considerable pride in being an integral part of the process which contributes to the sound government of this City, and for this service the City Council is most appreciative. Both the challenges and rewards before you are great. The following pages of this Manual are an introduction to the circumstances within which an appointed commissioner must meet these challenges.

As stated in the Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2023, the citizens served by the City of Placentia are entitled to elected City Council Members, appointed officials, City employees, and members of commissions, boards and committees who are fair, ethical, and accountable. Such Council Members and related parties are required to pledge to this Code and shall constantly seek to reflect the following qualities:

• They comply with both the letter and the spirit of the laws and policies affecting operations of the City of Placentia;
• They are independent, impartial, and fair in their judgment and actions; • They use their public office for the public good, not for personal gain; and • They conduct public deliberations and processes openly, unless legally confidential, in an atmosphere of respect, civility and transparency.

II. THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT

A. FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Generally, there are two sources of power by which California cities govern themselves.

One of these is to adopt, through the election process, a Charter or Constitution which sets forth the basis and authority for all future actions not in contradiction with pre- emptive State law. The other of these is to adhere to the provisions and requirements established as general law by the State for cities. Placentia falls within the first category and is classified as a Charter City. The Placentia Charter was adopted by the voters in 1965. Copies of the Placentia Charter are available from the City Clerk's Office or on the City’s website.

The citizens have chosen a Council-Manager form of government. Under this form of government, the City Council develops a long-range vision for the City’s future and establishes policies that affect the overall operation of the community. To ensure that these policies are carried out and that the community is equitably served, the City Council appoints a nonpartisan City Administrator to run the organization.

B. CITY COUNCIL

There are five elected members of the City Council. They are elected to serve four-year overlapping terms. The City Council elects the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem to serve one- year terms. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the Council.

The City Council is the governing body of the City. It is vested with broad powers in areas of legislative policy, budgetary adoption and establishment of service levels. The City Council, elected from five districts established by Ordinance, represents the entire community, and serves as the Placentia City Council, Placentia City Council as Successor to the Placentia Redevelopment Agency, Placentia Industrial Commercial Development Authority and Placentia Public Financing Authority.

It is not possible for each Councilmember to know all pertinent factors of every given situation or to devote sufficient time to gather them. For counsel and advice on the practical application of established policy, reliance is placed on the service of interested citizens appointed to the various commissions. For technical and administrative assistance, both the Council and the commissions refer to a paid City staff and the City Attorney.

C. COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES

There are two types of advisory bodies. One is established by the City Charter or by ordinance and is of a permanent nature. The duties, responsibilities, and scope of authority are as set forth in the enabling document. The other is created by a resolution or minute order of the Council to serve a particular function and may be established for a specified time.
45

Page 3 of 3741 ends

In both instances the primary purpose of these bodies is to gather information, weigh public opinion, and examine issues in depth in order to render a recommendation to the Council. From time to time, it is possible for such body to take independent action.

These situations, however, are subject to prescriptions of the City Charter, Municipal Code, or State law and limited to specific actions set forth therein.

An Ad-Hoc Committee may be created for a limited duration to address or help resolve an issue, develop ideas and make recommendations to the City Council. The Ad-Hoc Committee is a temporary group of people who are brought together to perform a specific task. When an Ad-Hoc Committee is created, its members are assigned specific roles and responsibilities. The members should provide a diverse set of perspectives when gathering information, researching the information and making a clear and sound recommendation to the City Council. Once the Ad-Hoc Committee provides a final report to the City Council, the Ad-Hoc Committee is dissolved.

A brief description of commissions, boards and committees, and their primary functions, are contained in the appendix. Additional information is available from the City Clerk's Office.

D. OFFICERS, DEPARTMENTS, AND STAFF

City Administrator: Responsibility and authority for the administration of the City's government rests with the City Administrator. He/she is appointed by, and serves at the pleasure of the Council. He/she appoints department heads and employees necessary to assist them in the conduct of their duties.

City Attorney: In addition to the City Administrator, the City Council appoints the City Attorney. The City Attorney is retained to advise the Council on questions of law in those matters coming before them and to represent the City in other actions to which it is a party or as otherwise may be requested.

City Clerk: The position of the City Clerk is an elected office established by the City Charter. The City Clerk attends all meetings of the City Council, unless excused, and records and maintains a full and true record of all proceedings of the City Council. The Clerk maintains ordinance and resolution books, is the custodian of the seal of the City, administers oaths or affirmations, takes affidavits and depositions pertaining to the affairs and business of the City, and certifies copies of official records.

City Treasurer: The position of City Treasurer is an elected office established by the City Charter. The City Treasurer is the custodian of all public funds belonging to or under the control of the City.

Departments: The administrative branch of Placentia's government consists of functions and activities within the following departments: Administration, Finance, Public Works/Engineering, Police, Fire and Life Safety, Community Services, and Development Services.

46

Page 4 of 3741 ends

Department Directors, under the direction of the City Administrator, are responsible for the efficient and effective operation of the functions assigned to them. By virtue of their technical training and experience, they are assigned to provide staff assistance as needed to the advisory bodies. Advisory bodies have no authority to supervise or direct the work of a department. This is done only through the City Administrator.

III. MEMBERSHIP

A. APPOINTMENTS

1. To Commissions

After application and interview, commission appointments are made by a majority vote of the Council for a specified term. Memberships and terms are set by Ordinance or Resolution and is usually four years.

Each member must be administered the oath of office by the City Clerk, City Attorney, Commission secretary, or a member of the commission. Each commission member is required to complete a Statement of Economic Interest form, AB1234 Ethics Training, payroll forms required by Human Resources, attend the mandatory annual orientation and training and adhere to the Code of Ethics and Conduct adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2022.

2. To Boards, Committees and Ad-Hoc Committees

Appointment to boards and committees varies based on Council established guidelines.

Requirements for each board and committee varies dependent upon responsibilities and duties.

B. RESIGNATIONS AND REMOVALS

In the event a member is unable to continue serving because of health, business requirements or personal reasons, a formal letter of resignation should be submitted to the City Council by way of the City Clerk’s office or the respective Department.

The position of any member is automatically vacated under the following circumstances:

1. A member ceases to meet the qualifications for office.

2. A member's resignation is accepted by the City Council.

3. A majority of the City Council removes the member from a commission, board or committee.

4. A member is absent from three (3) consecutive meetings of the commission, board or committee except when excused for illness or being out of the City.

47

Page 5 of 3741 ends

C. VACANCIES

Commission and Advisory Board vacancies are filled by appointment of the City Council. Appointments made during a term shall be for the unexpired portion of the term of the vacant position.

IV. OFFICERS AND STAFF

A. OFFICERS

In July of each year, each commission, board and committee will elect from among its membership a chairperson and a vice-chairperson. The term is for one year. It is the duty of the chairperson to preside over meetings and to act as the formal representative to the Council. The vice-chairperson assumes chairperson responsibilities in the absence of the chairperson.

C. STAFF AND SECRETARIAL SERVICES AND RECORDS

A staff liaison or secretary may be assigned by the City Administrator to provide assistance to the commission, board or committee, if appropriation for this is made by the City Council. The minutes and other official records of a commission are public records and must be filed with the City Clerk.

D. EXPENSES

Necessary meeting space and equipment will be made available to the commission, board or committee. Additional work areas may be arranged through the commission secretary or other assigned City Staff, when special projects so require. If a budget is provided, the commission, board or committee is required to operate within budgetary limitations, with all expenditures requiring prior approval and documentation.

E. TRAVEL & MEETING ALLOWANCES - COMMISSIONERS

Attendance by commissioners at pertinent meetings, seminars or conferences is subject to prior City Council approval. The chairperson, vice-chairperson, and one additional commissioner are permitted to attend conferences. For the third attendee, the commissioner with the highest seniority has the first opportunity to attend a conference; and the commissioner with the second highest seniority may attend the second conference; and so on until all commissioners have attended a conference. The process then starts over again with the person with the highest seniority. In the event any of the three members should be unable to attend a conference, another commissioner shall be afforded the opportunity, again based on seniority. (City Policy No. 344)

48

Page 6 of 3741 ends

Notwithstanding the above, a commissioner must have attended 75% of the regular commission meetings during the six months prior to the conference in order to attend.

Conferences are limited to those held within the State of California. Travel expenses are provided per City policy on the same basis as provided for management staff subject to budget approval.

V. MEETINGS, AGENDAS, MINUTES AND PROCEDURE

A. REGULAR MEETINGS

Commissions, boards and committees should establish meetings as required for the purpose of the body. Meetings shall be open to the public. All such meetings are generally held in City Hall, but may be adjourned from time to time to meet elsewhere within the City for specific purposes.

Agendas and minutes shall be prepared, posted and maintained in accordance with all laws and policies of the State of California and the City.

B. ADJOURNED MEETINGS

If for any reason, the business to be considered at a regular meeting cannot be completed, the commission, board or committee then may designate a time and date for an adjourned meeting. Any matter to have been considered at the regular meeting may be processed at an adjourned meeting. But in order to so adjourn, it is necessary that this be announced to the public present at the time of adjournment and so recorded in the minutes. A notice of an adjourned meeting shall be prepared and posted as required by law.

C. SPECIAL MEETINGS

A special meeting may be called by the chairperson or a majority of the members. Care must always be taken when this is done so that adequate advance notice is given.

Such notice requires that all interested parties be notified and a notice be posted at least 24 hours in advance of the special meeting. Interested parties include the City Council, the City Clerk, all members of the commission, board or committee and those news media who have filed a written request. The notice must contain the time and place for such a meeting and the specific subject matter(s) to be considered.

Introduction of other items at a special meeting is prohibited.

D. SUBCOMMITTEES

The chairperson may appoint special subcommittees of less than a quorum of the commission who then may meet at the convenience of the subcommittee members to carry out the purpose of the subcommittee. Subcommittees may meet without public 49

Page 7 of 3741 ends

notice or input. However, any recommendation of a subcommittee shall be presented for discussion and vote at a public meeting of the commission, board or committee.

E. QUORUM

A quorum consists of a majority of the members of any one body. A quorum is required for the conduct of business at any meeting whether it is a regular, adjourned or special meeting. Members are expected to be present at all meetings, however, should a member know in advance that attendance would be impossible, the member should notify the commission secretary or chairperson as soon as possible.

In the event a majority of the commissioners scheduled to meet will not be present to establish a quorum, the City Administrator's office, City Councilmembers and representatives of the news media who have filed written requests for same should be notified by telephone or e-mail. A notice should be posted indicating the meeting cancellation or adjournment due to a lack of a quorum. The date and time of the adjourned meeting should be included on the posted notice.

F. AGENDAS

Each commission, board or committee has an assigned staff liaison serving as secretary. The secretary is responsible for the preparation and distribution of an agenda and supporting documents prior to each meeting. Agendas must be posted 72 hours before a regular meeting.

Materials for an agenda are submitted to the secretary no later than five (5) days prior to the meeting. Agendas, with supporting documents, are available for pick up by members at least three (3) days prior to the actual day of the meeting. Supporting documents include, but are not limited to, reports, memoranda, maps, photographs and correspondence.

Commission, board and committee members, the Council and the news media should be kept well informed of all matters to be discussed at a public meeting. While it is recognized that there may be exceptions to the rule, the persons responsible for preparing an agenda should make every effort to see that items to be discussed are carried on the agenda. Only those items appearing on the agenda should be considered at each meeting. However, on two-thirds vote of those members present or unanimous vote if less than two-thirds of the members are present, may allow other items to be introduced and action taken, if urgency exists and delay would be harmful to the public interest.

G. MINUTES

Minutes are taken of all commission, board and committee meetings, transcribed and usually mailed out or e-mailed with the next agenda to the members, Councilmembers, and representatives of the news media who file written requests for same. 50

Page 8 of 3741 ends

The approved minutes are the vehicle through which the commission, board or committee as a whole or its individual members express their interest or opinion. The minutes are submitted to the City Council and placed on file with the City Clerk for public access. While other avenues exist for communication of interest or opinion, the meeting minutes remain the official document of record.

H. PROCEDURE

Robert’s Rules of Order

Each commission, board or committee may adopt such rules and procedures as it feels necessary to accomplish its duties. Such rules are subject to City Council approval before becoming effective. In the absence of such rules, the guidelines on parliamentary procedure contained in Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (RRONR) will be followed. The RRONR provides a useful set of rules of conduct of meetings. The goal of the rules is to permit each member of the body an opportunity to be heard and to provide an orderly process for decision-making. A brief description of the parliamentary process used by RRONR follows.

A MOTION is a proposal that the body take a certain action or “go on the record” as having taken a certain stand on an issue. Motions need to be concise and should be stated positively (e.g., “I move to deny…” rather than “I move to not approve…”). The motion needn’t contain its rationale. Sometimes makers of motions give their reasons for the proposal as if it were part of the motion. The integration of debate into the motion tends to confuse the proceedings.

Once a motion is made, it must be SECONDED. If it is not seconded, it dies without any debate. If seconded, the motion may be DEBATED, unless there is no debate or it is a type of motion, which is not subject to debate. Finally, following debate (if any), the motion is subjected to a VOTE.

A motion must be in ORDER for the body to entertain it. That means that the motion must relate to the business at hand and be presented at the appropriate time. In addition, the practice of “friendly amendments,” which are offered to the maker of the motion, and which, if accepted by the maker and the seconded, effectively amend the motion without the formality of a separate motion.

The most important element in the RRONR may be that everyone know and understand the rules in advance. After all, rules of procedure are intended to facilitate, not complicate, the transaction of business.

51

Page 9 of 3741 ends

VI. IMPOSED RESTRAINTS

Certain limitations have been placed upon the powers of the City Council and its appointed commissions, boards and committees by statutory and case law. In certain instances, application of these restraints may be crucial in the government process. In instances of doubt, the opinion of the City Attorney should be sought.

A. CONFLICT OF INTEREST - COMMISSIONERS

Generally, it is unlawful for a commission member to have an interest in any City contract, sale, purchase, finding or transaction in which the member is involved in a business or personal capacity. Conflict of interest may disqualify the commission member and may result in additional penalties. Any specific concerns should be directed to the Office of the City Attorney.

B. PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS

The Government Code of the State of California provides that all official records of the City are generally open to inspection to any interested person at reasonable times.

Exceptions to this law are limited to those records specified in the California Public Records Act relating to private matters including litigation, personnel, and other topics where disclosure of such records would not be in the public interest. All minutes and supporting documents are public records and must be available for public review.

C. SECRECY - THE BROWN ACT

The Ralph M. Brown Act is the law which provides that any ”legislative body”, whether City Council, commission or official committee thereof, shall hold any meeting at which action is taken other than at a duly called and regularly held meeting, notice of which is provided by either resolution or ordinance or by adjournment of a prior meeting. A "meeting" takes place whenever a quorum is present and official business is considered or discussed.

Caution should be exercised, if it happens that a quorum of members gathers at a public or private place, so that such will not be interpreted as a meeting. Official business of the commission should not be discussed. The Brown Act does not apply to obvious social gatherings where no official discussion or action is made relative to the affairs of the City.

D. DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL PROTECTION

All rules, regulations, laws, services and facilities must apply equally to all persons and favor shall not be given to any segment of the community. Similarly, all laws and ordinances of the City must afford equal protection to all facets of the community, unless the purpose of a City action requires special classification of the community.

52

Page 10 of 3741 ends

E. DUE PROCESS

All governmental procedures and processes must allow any affected party a right to be heard, and an opportunity to offer testimony on the question at issue in the matter involved. Unfair determinations based on bias, or refusal to permit an opportunity to be heard, etc. may invalidate actions.

F. REASONABLENESS

Every action of municipal government must be reasonable; or, otherwise stated, not capricious, extreme, arbitrary or abusive. Simply stated, actions must be justified by a rational basis.

G. USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY

Public property, equipment and facilities may not be used for private or personal purposes. Facilities, equipment and supplies provided by the City are to be used for official functions only.

H. TICKET DISTRIBUTION POLICY

In December 2008, the Fair Political Practices Commission ("FPPC") amended Section 18944.1 of the California Code of Regulations relating to tickets or passes to events distributed to, or at the behest of, public officials.

The City of Placentia City Council at the March 3, 2009 meeting approved Resolution No. R-2009-19, adopting a ticket distribution policy to conform with California Code of Regulations, Section 18944.1, as amended by the FPPC. A full copy of the City of Placentia’s Ticket Distribution Policy is included with this Manual as Exhibit A.

I. CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

In November 2022 the City Council adopted the Code of Ethics and Conduct which states that the City of Placentia will operate and do business with the highest level of integrity, professional and personal responsibility. The purpose of the code is to encourage high standards of behavior by public elected and appointed officials to assist with decision-making and to increase public confidence in the institutions and officials that serve them.

J. AB1234 ETHICS TRAINING

State law requires local agency officials – including many commissioners, committee members and board members – to receive at least two hours of training in general ethics principles and ethics laws relevant to their public service every two years (AB1234). Additional trainings may be required on a periodic basis.

53

Page 11 of 3741 ends

VII. RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNCIL, CITY

STAFF AND OTHERS

A. COUNCIL RELATIONS

Commission, board or committee members should avoid discussing the recommendations of the body with individual Councilmembers once a vote is taken when such is for the purpose of exerting influence. Written communications from the commission, board or committee to the City Council in sufficient time to be placed on the agenda is the preferred method for making recommendations to the Council.

The final authority and responsibility for public policy decisions rests with the City Council. The Council has appointed commissioners, board and committee members as advisors to them. This underlying philosophy makes it improper for an individual member of an advisory board to try to persuade the Council into the acceptance of a recommendation other than that voted by the majority. The role of an advisory board is to assist the Council in the formation of policy because the board is created only for the specific purpose of advising, being a guide to public opinion, and promoting specific projects in the community at large.

The Council has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy on November 15, 2022, which states that “in keeping with their role as stewards of the public interest, members of Council shall not appear on behalf of the private interests of third parties before the Council or any board, committee, or commission or proceeding of the City, nor shall members of boards, commission or commissions appear before their own bodies or before the Council on behalf of the private interests of third parties on matters related to the subject matter jurisdiction of their bodies.”

B. STAFF RELATIONS

Staff personnel are assigned by the City Administrator to assist and act in a technical capacity to commissions, boards or committees. It is not expected that every staff recommendation will be followed; however, because of staff's technical knowledge, full consideration should be given to their recommendations. Just as any advisory board is held accountable to the City Council, so is staff to the City Administrator.

After staff makes a report or recommendation to a commission, board or committee (which recommendation may or may not be followed), they are at liberty to make the same recommendation to the City Council through the City Administrator, even though the advisory board may have taken a different position. City Staff may be a part of the advisory board; however, they do not hold any voting authority within the advisory board. Staff has been employed by the City Administrator to provide technical guidance.

Staff members are obligated to make objective recommendations.

Failure of a staff member to provide expected or promised service to an advisory board is a basis for complaint to be brought to the attention of the City Administrator. Since 54

Page 12 of 3741 ends

staff personnel are directly responsible to the City Administrator, it is his/her responsibility alone to allocate their time and efforts in the best interest of the total City government, to investigate staff, and take appropriate personnel action when necessary.

C. RELATIONS WITH OTHER COMMISSIONS, BOARDS, AND COMMITTEES

In the areas where there is overlap of jurisdiction between various bodies, it is important that coordination occur to ensure proper consideration of different viewpoints that may occur, and to minimize duplications or conflicts. Further, joint meetings with the City Council and other commissions, boards and committees may be mutually beneficial whenever two bodies are simultaneously addressing the same topics.

III. CONCLUSION

There is no desire on the part of the City Council or City staff to control any commission, board or committee member's independent thought or judgment. Appointments are made to these bodies by the Council based on judgment that those persons appointed have the knowledge, ability and interest and that their contributions will be of valuable assistance. All suggestions and ideas are most welcome, whether presented as an individual citizen, a member or a majority vote of an advisory board. However, membership on a commission, board or committee limits to a degree the freedom of advocacy before the City Council or other bodies on those issues that are to be considered by the member's commission, board or committee. The collective recommendation of the commission, board or committee to the City Council may include the positions of all members.

A commission, board or committee is created as an advisory arm of the Council as the result of a policy decision. Each has been charged with certain responsibilities in specified areas and it is within these that the body should act. It may be that a member or minority of members of an advisory board may disagree with an established policy.

This is part of the democratic process. In spite of conflicting viewpoints, this is the accepted process for addressing the issues and forwarding the majority opinion to Council or to accomplish the tasks assigned.

The City is proud of its citizen participation and extends a hearty welcome and thanks to all commission, board and committee appointees.

I. INTRODUCTION

This Committee Commission and Advisory Board Manual has been prepared in order to provide initial orientation for new members of advisory bodies to the City Council. The obligations of these positions are great, and it is hoped that this Manual will ease the assumption of these responsibilities.

For convenience and brevity, all references to commissions hereaf ter include all advisory bodies, whether officially designated as a board, commission, committee or Ad-Hoc committee. In all instances, appointment to such a body, regardless of its formal designation, is both an honor and a heavy responsibility. Not only does it signify the confidence of the City Council in the member's wisdom and judgment, but plac es upon the member the attendant duties of regular attendance at meetings and consistent working and voting towards an implementation of the general public in terest.

Such a change is, at times, not easily borne and necessary decisions not easily made.

Notwithstanding the self-discipline required in public service, each advisory body member may take considerable pride in being an integral part of the process which contributes to the sound government of this City, and for this service the City Council is most appreciative. Both the challenges and rewards before you are great. The following pages of this Manual are an introduction to the circumstances within which an appointed commissioner must meet these challenges.

As stated in the Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy adopted by the City Council on November 15, 2023, the citizens served by the City of Placentia are entitled to elected City Council Members, appointed officials, City employees, and members of commissions, boards and committees who are fair, ethical, and accountable. Such Council Members and related parties are required to pledge to this Code and shall constantly seek to reflect the following qualities:

 They comply with both the letter and the spirit of the laws and policies affecting operations of the City of Placentia;
 They are independent, impartial, and fair in their judgment and actions;  They use their public office for the public good, not for personal gain; and  They conduct public deliberations and processes openly, unless legally confidential, in an atmosphere of respect, civility and transparency.

II. THE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT

A. FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Generally, there are two sources of power by which California cities govern themselves.

One of these is to adopt, through the election process, a Charter or Constitution which sets forth the basis and authority for all future actions not in contradiction with pre - emptive State law. The other of these is to adhere to the provisions and requirements established as general law by the State for cities. Placentia falls within the first category and is classified as a Charter City. The Placentia Charter was adopted by the voters in 1965. Copies of the Placentia Charter are available from the City Clerk's Office or on the City’s website.

The citizens have chosen a Council-Manager form of government. Under this form of government, the City Council develops a long-range vision for the City’s future and establishes policies that affect the overall operation of the community. T o ensure that these policies are carried out and that the community is equitably served , the City Council appoints a nonpartisan City Administrator to run the organization.

B. CITY COUNCIL

There are five elected members of the City Council. They are elected to serve four- year overlapping terms. The City Council elects the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem to serve one-year terms. The Mayor is the presiding officer of the Council.

The City Council is the governing body of the City. It is vested with broad powers in areas of legislative policy, budgetary adoption and establishment of service levels. The City Council, elected from five districts established by Ordinance, represents the entire community, and serves as the Placentia City Council, Placentia City Council as Successor to the Placentia Redevelopment Agency, Placentia Industrial Commercial Development Authority and Placentia Public Financing Authority.

It is not possible for each Councilmember to know all pertinent factors of every given situation or to devote sufficient time to gather them. For counsel and advice on the practical application of established policy, reliance is placed on the service of intere sted citizens appointed to the various commissions. For technical and administrative assistance, both the Council and the commissions refer to a paid City staff and the City Attorney.

C. COMMISSIONS, BOARDS AND COMMITTEES

There are two types of advisory bodies. One is established by the City Charter or by ordinance and is of a permanent nature. The d uties, responsibilities, and scope of authority are as set forth in the enabling document. The other is created by a resolution or minute order of the Council to serve a particular function and may be established for a specified time.
86

Page 3 of 37 ends

In both instances the primary purpose of these bodies is to gather information, weigh public opinion, and examine issues in depth in order to render a recommendation to the Council. From time to time, it is possible for such body to take independent action.

These situations, however, are subject to prescriptions of the City Charter, Municipal Code, or State law and limited to specific actions set forth therein.

An Ad-Hoc Committee may be created for a limited duration to address or help resolve an issue, develop ideas and make recommendations to the City Council. The Ad-Hoc Committee is a temporary group of people who are brought together to perform a specific task. When an Ad-Hoc Committee is created, its members are assigned specific roles and responsibilities. The members should provide a diverse set of perspectives when gathering information , researching the information and making a clear and sound recommendation to the City Council. Once the Ad-Hoc Committee provides a final report to the City Council, the Ad-Hoc Committee is dissolved.

A brief description of commissions, boards and committees , and their primary functions, are contained in the appendix. Additional information is available from the City Clerk's Office.

D. OFFICERS, DEPARTMENTS, AND STAFF

City Administrator: Responsibility and authority for the administration of the City's government rests with the City Administrator. He/she is appointed by, and serves at the pleasure of the Council. He/she appoints department heads and employees necessary to assist them in the conduct of their duties.

City Attorney: In addition to the City Administrator, the City Council appoints the City Attorney. The City Attorney is retained to advise the Council on questions of law in those matters coming before them and to r epresent the City in other actions to which it is a party or as otherwise may be requested.

City Clerk: The position of the City Clerk is an elected office established by the City Charter. The City Clerk attends all meetings of the City Council, unless excused, and records and maintains a full and true record of all proceedings of the City Council. The Clerk maintains ordinance and resolution books, is the custodian of the seal of the City , administers oaths or affirmations, takes affidavits and deposit ions pertaining to the affairs and business of the City, and certifies copies of official records.

87

Page 4 of 37 ends

Department Directors, under the direction of the City Administrator, are responsible for the efficient and effective operation of the functions assigned to them. By virtue of their technical training and experience, they are assigned to provide staff assistance as needed to the advisory bodies. Advisory bodies have no authority to supervise or direct the work of a department. This is done only through the City Administrator.

A. OFFICERS

It is the duty of the chairperson to preside over meetings and to act as the formal representative to the Council. The vice-chairperson assumes chairperson responsibilities in the absence of the chairperson.

C. STAFF AND SECRETARIAL SERVICES AND RECORDS

A staff liaison or secretary may be assigned by the City Administrator to provide assistance to the commission, board or committee, if appropriation for this is made by the City Council. The minutes and other official records of a commission are public records and must be filed with the City Clerk.

D. EXPENSES

Necessary meeting space and equipment will be made available to the commission, board or committee. Additional work areas may be arranged through the commiss ion secretary or other assigned City Staff, when special projects so require. If a budget is provided, the commission, board or committee is required to operate within budgetary limitations, with all expenditures requiring prior approval and documentation .

E. TRAVEL & MEETING ALLOWANCES - COMMISSIONERS

Attendance by commissioners at pertinent meetings, seminars or conferences is subject to prior City Council approval. The chairperson, vice-chairperson, and one additional commissioner are permitted to attend conferences. Fo r the third attendee, the commissioner with the highest seniority has the first opportunity to attend a conference; and the commissioner with the second highest seniority may attend the second conference; and so on until all commissioners have attended a c onference.

The process then starts over again with the person with the highest seniority. In the event any of the three members should be unable to attend a conference, another commissioner shall be afforded the opportunity, again based on seniority. (C ity Policy No. 344)

89

Page 6 of 37 ends

Notwithstanding the above, a commissioner must have attended 75% of the regular commission meetings during the six months prior to the conference in order to attend.

Conferences are limited to those held within the State of California . Travel expenses are provided per City policy on the same basis as provided for management staff subject to budget approval.

V. MEETINGS, AGENDAS, MINUTES AND PROCEDURE

A. REGULAR MEETINGS

Commissions, boards and committees should establish meeti ngs as required for the purpose of the body. Meetings shall be open to the public. All such meetings are generally held in City Hall, but may be adjourned from time to time to meet elsewhere within the City for specific purposes.

Agendas and minutes shall be prepared, posted and maintained in accordance with all laws and policies of the State of California and the City.

B. ADJOURNED MEETINGS

If for any reason, the business to be considered at a regular meeting cannot be completed, the commission, board or committee then may designate a time and date for an adjourned meeting. Any matter to have been considered at the regular meeting may be processed at an adjourned meeting. But in order to so adjourn, it is necessary that this be announced to the public present at the time of adjournment and so recorded in the minutes. A notice of an adjourned meeting shall be prepared and posted as required by law.

C. SPECIAL MEETINGS

A special meeting may be called by the chairperson or a majority of the members. Care must always be taken when this is done so that adequate advance notice is given.

Such notice requires that all interested parties be notified and a notice be posted at least 24 hours in advance of the special meeting. Interested parties include the City Council, the City Clerk, all members of the commission, board or committee and those news media who have filed a written request. The notice must contai n the time and place for such a meeting and the specific subject matter(s) to be considered.

Introduction of other items at a special meeting is prohibited.

D. SUBCOMMITTEES

The chairperson may appoint special subcommittees of less than a quorum of the commission who then may meet at the convenience of the subcommittee members to carry out the purpose of the subcommittee. Subcommittees may meet without public 90

Page 7 of 37 ends

notice or input. However, any recommendation of a subcommittee shall be presented for discussion and vote at a public meeting of the commission, board or committee.

E. QUORUM

A quorum consists of a majority of the members of any one body. A quorum is required for the conduct of business at any meeting whether it is a regular, adjourned or special meeting. Members are expected to be present at all meetings, however, should a member know in advance that attendance would be impossible, the member should notify the commission secretary or chairperson as soon as possible.

In the event a majority of the commissioners scheduled to meet will not be present to establish a quorum, the City Administrator's office, City Councilmembers and representatives of the news media who have filed written requests for same should be notified by telephone or e-mail. A notice should be posted indicating the meeting cancellation or adjournment due to a lack of a quorum. The date and time of the adjourned meeting should be included on the posted notice.

F. AGENDAS

Each commission, board or committee has an assigned sta ff liaison serving as secretary. The secretary is responsible for the preparation and distribution of an agenda and supporting documents prior to each meeting. Agendas must be posted 72 hours before a regular meeting.

Materials for an agenda are submitted to the secretary no later than five (5) days prior to the meeting. Agendas, with supporting doc uments, are available for pick up by members at least three (3) days prior to the actual day of the meeting. Supporting documents include, but are not limited to, reports, memoranda, maps, photographs and correspondence.

Commission, board and committee m embers, the Council and the news media should be kept well informed of all matters to be discussed at a public meeting. While it is recognized that there may be exceptions to the rule, the persons responsible for preparing an agenda should make every effo rt to see that items to be discussed are carried on the agenda. Only those items appearing on the agenda should be considered at each meeting. However, on two-thirds vote of those members present or unanimous vote if less than two-thirds of the members are present, may allow other items to be introduced and action taken, if urgency exists and delay would be harmful to the public interest.

G. MINUTES

Minutes are taken of all commission, board and committee meetings, transcribed and usually mailed out or e-mailed with the next agenda to the members, Councilmembers , and representatives of the news media who file written requests for same. 91

Page 8 of 37 ends

The approved minutes are the vehicle through which the commission, board or committee as a whole or its individual members express their interest or opinion. The minutes are submitted to the City Council and placed on file with the City Clerk for public access. While other avenues exist for communication of interest or opinion, the meeting minutes remain the official document of record.

H. PROCEDURE

Robert’s Rules of Order

Each commission, board or committee may adopt such rules and procedures as it feels necessary to accomplish its duties. Such rules are subject to City Council approval before becoming effective. In the absence of such rules, the guidelines on parliamentary procedure contained in Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (RRONR) will be followed. The RRONR provides a useful set of rules of conduct of meetings. The goal of the rules is to permit each memb er of the body an opportunity to be heard and to provide an orderly process for decision-making. A brief description of the parliamentary process used by RRONR follows.

A MOTION is a proposal that the body take a certain action or “go on the record” as having taken a certain stand on an issue. Motions need to be concise and should be stated positively (e.g., “I move to deny…” rather than “I move to not approve…”). The motion needn’t contain its rationale. Sometimes makers of motions give their reasons for the proposal as if it were part of the motion. The integration of debate into the motion tends to confuse the proceedings.

Once a motion is made, it must be SECONDED. If it is not seconded, it dies without any debate. If seconded, the motion may be DEBATED, unless there is no debate or it is a type of motion, which is not subject to debate. Finally, following debate (if any), the motion is subjected to a VOTE.

A motion must be in ORDER for the body to entertain it. That means that the motion must relate to the business at hand and be presented at the appropriate time. In addition, the practice of “friendly amendments,” which are offered to the maker of the motion, and which, if accepted by the maker and the seconded, effectively amend the motion without the formality of a separate motion.

The most important element in the RRONR may be that everyone know and understand the rules in advance. After all, rules of procedure are intended to facilitate, not complicate, the transaction of business.

92

VI. IMPOSED RESTRAINTS

Certain limitations have been placed upon the powers of the City Council and its appointed commissions, boards and committees by s tatutory and case law. In certain instances, application of these restraints may be crucial in th e government process. In instances of doubt, the opinion of the City Attorney should be sought.

A. CONFLICT OF INTEREST - COMMISSIONERS

Generally, it is unlawful for a commission member to have an interest in any City contract, sale, purchase, finding or transaction in which the member is involved in a business or personal capacity. Conflict of interest may disqualify the commission member and may result in additional penalties. Any specific concerns should be directed to the Office of the City Attorney.

B. PUBLIC RECORDS LAWS

The Government Code of the State of California provides that all official records of the City are generally open to inspection to any interested person at reasonable times.

Exceptions to this law are limited to those records specified in the California Public Records Act relating to private matters including litigation, personnel, and other topics where disclosure of such records would not be in the public interest. All minutes and supporting documents are public records and must be available for public review.

C. SECRECY - THE BROWN ACT

The Ralph M. Brown Act is the law which provides that any ”legislative body”, whether City Council, commission or official committee thereof, shall hold any meeting at which action is taken other than at a duly called and regularly held meeting, notice of which is provided by either resolution or ordinance or by adjournment of a prior meeting. A "meeting" takes place whenever a quorum is present and official business is considered or discussed.

Caution should be exercised, if it happens that a quorum of members gathers at a public or private place, so that such will not be interpreted as a meeting. Official business of the commission should not be discussed. The Brown Act does not apply to obvious social gatherings where no official discussion or action is made relative to the affairs of the City.

D. DISCRIMINATION AND EQUAL PROTECTION

All rules, regulations, laws, services and facilities must apply equally to all persons and favor shall not be given to any segment of the community. Similarly, all laws and ordinances of the City must afford equal protection to all facets of the community, unless the purpose of a City action requires special classification of the community.

93

Page 10 of 37 ends

E. DUE PROCESS

All governmental procedures and processes must allow any affected party a right to be heard, and an opportunity to offer testimony on the question at issue in the matter involved. Unfair determinations based on bias, or refusal to permit an opportunity to be heard, etc. may invalidate actions.

F. REASONABLENESS

Every action of municipal government must be reasonable; or, otherwise stated, not capricious, extreme, arbitrary or abusive. Simply stated, actions must be justified by a rational basis.

G. USE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY

Public property, equipment and facilities may not be used for private or personal purposes. Facilities, equipment and supplies provided by the City are to be used for official functions only.

H. TICKET DISTRIBUTION POLICY

In December 2008, the Fair Political Practices Commission ("FPPC") amended Section 18944.1 of the California Code of Regulations relating to tickets or passes to events distributed to, or at the behest of, public officials.

The City of Placentia City Council at the March 3, 2009 meeting approved Resolution No. R-2009-19, adopting a ticket distribution policy to conform with California Code of Regulations, Section 18944.1, as amended by the FPPC. A full copy of the City of Placentia’s Ticket Distribution Policy is included with this Manual as Exhibit A.

I. CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

In November 2022 the City Council adopted the Code of Ethics and Conduct which states that the City of Placentia will operate and do business with the highest level of integrity, professional and personal responsibility. The purpose of the code is to encourage high standards of behavior by public elected and appointed officials to assist with decision-making and to increase public confidence in the institutions and officials that serve them.

J. AB1234 ETHICS TRAINING

State law requires local agency officials – including many commissioners, committee members and board members – to receive at least two hours of training in general ethics principles and ethics laws relevant to their public service every two years (AB1234). Additional trainings may be required on a periodic basis.

94

Page 11 of 37 ends

VII. RELATIONSHIPS WITH COUNCIL, CITY

STAFF AND OTHERS

A. COUNCIL RELATIONS

Commission, board or committee members should avoid discussing the recommendations of the body with individual Councilmembers once a vote is taken when such is for the purpose of exerting influence. Written communications from the commission, board or committee to the City Council in sufficient time to be placed on the agenda is the preferred method for making recommendations to the Council.

The final authority and responsibility for pu blic policy decisions rests with the City Council. The Council has appointed commissioners, board and committee members as advisors to them. This underlying philosophy makes it improper for an individual member of an advisory board to try to persuade the Council into the acceptance of a recommendation other than that voted by the majority. The role of an advisory board is to assist the Council in the formation of policy because the board is created only for the specific purpose of advising, being a guide to public opinion, and promoting specific projects in the community at large.

The Council has adopted a Code of Ethics and Conduct Policy on November 15, 2022, which states that “in keeping with their role as stewards of the public interest, members of Council shall not appear on behalf of the private interests of third parties before the Council or any board, committee, or commission or proceeding of the City, nor shall members of boards, commission or commissions appear before their own bodies or before the Council on behalf of the private interests of third parties on matters related to the subject matter jurisdiction of their bodies.”

B. STAFF RELATIONS

Staff personnel are assigned by the City Administrator to assist and act in a technical capacity to commissions, boards or committees. It is not expected that every staff recommendation will be followed; however, because of staff's technical knowledge, full consideration should be given to their recommendations. Just as any advisory board is held accountable to the City Council, so is staff to the City Administrator.

After staff makes a report or recommendation to a commission, board or committee (which recommendation may or may not be followed), they are at liberty to make the same recommendation to the City Council through the City Administrator, even though the advisory board may have taken a different position. City Staff may be a part of the advisory board; however, they do not hold any voting authority within the advisory board. Staff has been employed by the City Administrator to provide technical guidance. Staff members are obligated to make objective recommendations.

Failure of a staff member to provide expected or promised service to an advisory board is a basis for complaint to be brought to the attention of the City Administrator. Since 95

Page 12 of 37 ends

staff personnel are directly responsible to the City Administrator, it is his/her responsibility alone to allocate their time and efforts in the best interest of the total City government, to investigate staff, and take appropriate personnel action when necessary.

C. RELATIONS WITH OTHER COMMISSIONS, BOARDS, AND COMMITTEES

In the areas where there is overlap of jurisdiction between various bodies, it is important that coordination occur to ensure proper consideration of different viewpoints that may occur, and to minimize duplications or conflicts. Further, joint meetings with the City Council and other commissions, boards and committees may be mutually beneficial whenever two bodies are simultaneously a ddressing the same topics.

III. CONCLUSION

There is no desire on the part of the City Counci l or City staff to control any commission, board or committee member's independent thought or judgment.

Appointments are made to these bodies by the Council based on judgment that those persons appointed have the knowledge, ability and interest and that their contributions will be of valuable assistance. All suggestions and ideas are most welcome, whether presented as an individual citizen, a member or a majo rity vote of an advisory board.

However, membership on a commission, board or committee limits to a degree the freedom of advocacy before the City Council or other bodies on those issues that are to be considered by the member's commission, board or committee. The collective recommendation of the commission, board or committee to the City Council may include the positions of all members.

A commission, board or committee is created as an advisory arm of the Council as the result of a policy decision. Each has been charged with certain responsibilities in specified areas and it is within these that the body should act. It may be that a member or minority of members of an advisory board may disagree with an established policy.

This is part of the democratic process. In spite of conflicting viewpoints, this is the accepted process for addressing the issues and forwarding the majority opinion to Council or to accomplish the tasks assigned.

The City is proud of its citizen participation and extends a hear ty welcome and thanks to all commission, board and committee appointees.
