HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL DATE: May 6, 2003
ITEM NO: 55
SUBJECT: CHARTER REVIEW
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2002, the City Council referred formation of a Charter Review Committee to the Governmental Affairs Committee. The Governmental Affairs Committee considered this matter at he reperin and minas 20e, madags are Apaced The the resent a Come. deliberated the committee membership composition and method of appointment, appointment of the Committee Chair, and scope of work.
At the meeting of January 16, 2003, the Governmental Affairs Committee unanimously recommended that the City Council approve (1) formation of a sixteen-member Charter Review Committee with each Councilmember appointing two members with at least one representative from their respective Ward and the other at-large, and with the Mayor appointing two members, one of which shall serve as the non-voting Chair; (2) that Charter Review Committee members shall be qualified electors of the City; and (3) that the Committee conduct a full review of the Charter.
Mayor Loveridge presented four additional recommendations on April 3, 2003:
1. City Council will place on the March 2004 ballot the recommendations of the Charter Review Committee as presented.
2. All proposed changes in the current Charter must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Charter Review Committee.
3. The Mayor will appoint four members of the Charter Review Committee plus the Chair. Each Councilmember would appoint two members. The combined total membership would be nineteen.
4. The Chair of the Charter Review Committee will vote.
Following deliberation, the Governmental Affairs Committee approved the following recommendation for full City Council consideration:
1. Formation of a seventeen-member Charter Review Committee with each Councilmember appointing two members with at least one representative from their respective Ward and the other at-large, and with the Mayor appointing three members, one of which shall serve as the voting Chair;
2. Charter Review Committee members shall be qualified electors of the City;
3. The Committee shall conduct a full review of the Charter;
4. All proposed changes in the current Charter must be approved by a two-thirds vote of the Charter Review Committee;

5. Five affirmative votes of the City Council shall be required to amend the recommendations of the Charter Review Committee; and
6. By simple majority, the City Council shall place the Charter amendment proposals on the March 2004 ballot.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Start-up printing costs are expected to be minimal and can be absorbed within the current budget.
Outside consultant services are not proposed. Costs to add Charter amendment measures to the March 2004 ballot would be approximately $25,000. If a special stand-alone election is called, charges would be approximately $111,000 for a polling place election and $122,000 for a mail-in ballot election. Reimbursement of absentee ballot costs through an SB 90 claim is unlikely.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Concur with the April 3, 2003, Governmental Affairs Committee recommendations.
2. Consider an alternative Charter Review Committee composition and/or charge.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
With Chair Pearson and Members Defenbaugh and Moore present, the committee unanimously concurred with the recommendations outlined above, with Member Defenbaugh dissenting with respect to the Mayor's appointment of the Charter Review Committee Chair.

CHARGE AND SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE 2003/2004
RIVERSIDE CITY CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Charter of the City of Riverside was ratified by the qualified electors of the City at an election held on November 7, 1995 and filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on December 27, 1995.
The Charter was last amended at an election held on November 5, 2002 and the amendments were effective on January 6, 2003. Those amendments were narrow in scope and not reflective of a comprehensive review of the Charter.
What is a Charter? A city charter is a unique document that, in many ways, acts like a constitution for the city adopting it. It can only be adopted, amended or repealed by a majority vote of a city's voters. One advantage of a charter is that it allows a city to tailor its organization and elective offices, taking into account the unique local conditions and needs of the community.
Another advantage to a charter is that it transfers the power to adopt legislation affecting municipal affairs from the state legislature to the city adopting it. A city operating under a charter can acquire full control over its municipal affairs. These affairs are unaffected by the general laws passed by the state legislature on the same subject matters. This, in effect, gives the local voters more control over their local government and the affairs of the city. However, a city operating under a charter is still subject to the general laws as passed by the state legislature, on affairs that are not municipal in nature, and are of statewide concern.
Section 1403 of the Riverside City Charter authorizes the City Council to appoint a Charter review committee. The Charter review committee shall have the power and duty to:
(a) Recommend to the City Council, which, if any, charter amendments should be placed on the ballot.
(b) Hold public meetings to receive input on proposed charter amendments. (c) Present a final report of its recommendations to the City Council. The commission may, in its discretion, make interim reports to the City Council.
Section 1404 of the Riverside City Charter provides that the Charter may be amended in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the State of California.
Consequently, the "charge" of the Charter review committee is to consider whether the Charter meets the needs of the City of Riverside today and whether it will meet the needs of the City into the future, whether the structure and form of the government should be revised to address those needs, and generally, to recommend a Charter which has the potential to endure for many years to come. -
i 55-4
000007
The Riverside City Charter should be reviewed by the committee in its entirety. However, the following issues have been identified for possible consideration by the committee:
• Method of setting salary for Mayor and council members. • Identification of Mayor and Council Members as full-time/part-time. • Powers and duties of the Park and Recreation Commission (trees). • Run-off elections v. instant run-off voting.
• Election of Mayor in even-numbered years.
• Primary election of council members by ward with run-off election at large. • Responsibilities of Mayor, City Council and City Manager. • Governmental Affairs Committee recommendations following completion of Board and Commission reviews.
All recommendations and proposed changes to the Charter must be approved by a 2/3 vote of the Charter Review Committee. In attempting to reach a 2/3 vote and finalizing recommendations to the City Council, there may be strong differences of opinion. Such strong differences should be brought to the attention of the City Council along with those recommendations for which a 2/3 vote has been reached. In order that the City Council may stay abreast of your work, interim reports should be presented at a regularly scheduled city council meeting.

GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MEMBERS DATE: January 16, 2002 ITEM NO: 2
SUBJECT: CHARTER REVIEW
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2002, the City Council referred formation of a Charter Review Committee to the Governmental Affairs Committee. The Charter was last comprehensively reviewed in 1994/95. The Committee met twice a month in 2-hour meetings over a nine-month period. A timeline of the process is summarized below.
April 26, 1994 - Charter Review Committee formed and criteria for proceedings adopted May 24, 1994 - Mayor and City Council (except Ward 1) appointed Committee members June 28, 1994 - Ward 1 appointments to Committee
City Attorney directed to instruct the Committee on duties under the Charter Aug. 18, 1994 - Committee convenes
Sept. 7, 1994 - Committee receives overview from City Attorney and interviews Department Heads Sept. 28, 1994 - Committee interviews Department Heads, reviews budget, and elects Vice-Chair Oct. 5, 1994 - Committee interviews Department Heads and reviews budget Oct. 18, 1994 - City Council approves Committee budget
Oct. 19, 1994 - Committee interviews Department Heads
Nov. 2, 1994 - Committee discusses plan for review of Charter Nov. 16, 1994 - Committee interviews Mayor and Division Head Dec. 7, 1994 - Committee accepts public input
May 3, 1995 - Committee continues deliberation
May 17, 1995 - Committee approves final recommendations to City Council July 10, 1995 - City Council workshop to review Committee report presented by Chair and outside legal counsel
55-10
000013
July 25, 1995 - City Council approves measures and calls Special Election Nov. 7, 1995 - Voters approve Charter amendments
Dec. 27, 1995 - Charter amendments become effective
Issues for the Govermental Affairs Committee to consider for the upcoming Charter review include:
• Composition and method of appointment of Charter Review Committee members and Chair; • Identification of Charter revisions to include, but not be limited to, in committee deliberations; • Committee staffing;
• Committee budget;
• Description of committee's charge and scope of work; and • Timeline for report back to City Council and/or calling of election.
Committee Composition/Appointment
The 1994/95 Charter Review Committee consisted of sixteen members with each Councilmember appointing two members with at least one representative from the Ward and the other at-large, and with the Mayor appointing two members, one of which served as the non-voting Chair.
On November 19, 2002, the City Council's referral of this matter included instruction that the Charter Review Committee appointment process retain the ability of each Councilmember to appoint at least one member from each Ward. Councilmember Schiavone in his report to the City Council recommends a nine-member Charter Review Committee with seven members appointed by each member of the City Council and two individuals appointed by the Mayor. Staff would recommend that members serving be qualified electors of Riverside.
Exhibit A summarizes information from other California cities that have recently reviewed their City Charter.
Charter Review Issues
The following issues have been identified for possible consideration by the Charter Review Committee:
• Method of setting salary for Mayor and Councilmembers • Identification of Mayor and Councilmembers as full-time/part-time • Powers and duties of the Park and Recreation Commission (trees) • Run-off elections vs Instant Runoff Voting
• Election of Mayor in even-numbered years
• Primary election of Councilmembers by Ward with run-off election at large • Responsibilities of Mayor, City Council, and City Manager • Governmental Affairs Committee recommendations following completion of Board and Commission reviews
55-11
000014
Committee Staffing
The City Clerk and City Attorney are available to staff the Charter Review Committee. Outside legal services are not proposed. During the 1994/95 review the City Council approved an agreement with the Law Offices of Victor J. Kaleta to provide legal support services to the committee resulting in expenditures for Fiscal Years 1994/95 and 1995/96 of $5,735.78. During the 1994/95 review, the Committee requested significant research all of which was done by City staff. It is anticipated that research can again be absorbed by existing City staff.
Budget
Start-up costs to commence the work of the Committee are anticipated to include minor costs for duplication of materials. As the work of the Committee proceeds, additional appropriations will be requested only if required and can be considered in the upcoming budget process.
Committee's Charge and Scope of Work
Based on the discussion before the Governmental Affairs Committee, the City Attomey can outline the Charter Review Committee's charge under the Charter and draft a scope of work to be considered by the Governmental Affairs Committee and full City Council.
Timeline
In anticipation of a Governmental Affairs Committee recommendation to the City Council at this meeting, final appointments to the Charter Review Committee would be scheduled for the January 28, 2003, City Council meeting. Judging from the 1994/95 Charter review, the work of the committee may take up to one year or more. If the City Council wishes to place Charter amendments before the voters on the November 4, 2003, ballot, the resolution calling the election must be adopted on or before July 22, 2003, to meet the County of Riverside Registrar of Voters August 8, 2003, deadline for submittal of measures. There are no County-wide issues for June 3, 2003. An election on that day would be stand-alone. The next opportunity for consolidation with a county-wide election is March 2, 2004, followed by November 2, 2004. However, a special stand- alone election could be called on any Tuesday.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Start-up printing costs are expected to be minimal and can be absorbed within the current budget.
Outside consultant services are not proposed. Charter amendment measures added to the November 4, 2003, regular municipal election ballot would add only direct costs which would be minimal. If a special stand-alone election is called, charges would be approximately $92,000 for a polling place election and $2,100 for a mail-in ballot election.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Convene the City Council as a whole to review the Charter or alter the composition or method of appointment of the Charter Review Committee; or
2. Delay appointment of a Charter Review Committee until February 2004. Section 1403 of the Charter requires that the Council appoint and appropriate adequate funds for a Charter Review Committee in February 2004. The Council is required to act upon the committee's recommendations prior to the last day to place measures on the ballot for the 2005 Mayoral election.
