HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 9, 2004 ITEM NO: 19
SUBJECT: IMPACTS OF CHARTER AMENDMENTS
BACKGROUND:
On November 2, 2004, Riverside's electors approved nine of twelve Charter amendment measures.
The implementation and impacts of the approved measures are discussed below:
Measure BB - The language correcting minor typographical errors and addition of the Preamble will be codified by the City Clerk's Office in the reprinting of the Charter.
Measure CC - This measure will require the posting of agendas and recording of minutes for ad hoc committees created by the City Council or other bodies created by the Mayor and that they be open to the public. The affected Department will provide staffing to accommodate compliance.
The City Attorney and City Clerk will provide training to Departments to ensure familiarity with required procedures. The City Clerk will immediately commence audio recording of closed sessions and confidentially retain such recordings for two years.
Measure DD - This measure requires a Code of Ethics be adopted within six months. Staff recommends referral of this matter to the City Council Governmental Affairs Committee to make recommendations to the City Council on the process for drafting of the Code of Ethics.
Measure EE - Beginning in January of 2005, and every odd-numbered year thereafter, the City Manager shall agendize consideration of Mayor and City Councilmembers salaries.
Measure GG - Not one of the City boards and commissions currently has members representing each of the seven City Council Wards. Staff recommends referral of this matter to the Mayor's Nominating and Screening Committee to formulate an implementation plan.
Measure I! - Passage of this measure requires no follow up steps at this time as it mirrors the existing legislative action which created the Community Police Review Commission.
Measure KK - The City Attorney's Office will draft and present to the City Council implementing ordinances relative to bidder's security for public works projects and design-build procurement for public works projects.
Measure LL - Beginning with the audit for the Fiscal Year beginning July 1, 2009, and every five years thereafter, the Finance Director will issue a Request for Proposals to select a new independent auditor.
