BACKGROUND
Earlier this fall, the City Council met with the Charter Commission for a joint meeting to
discuss items of mutual interest. At this meeting, the Charter Commission proposed a
Conflict of Interest statement be added to the City Council's Code of Conduct. The
Council has since added a conflict of interest statement to their Code of Conduct and
has requested the City Code be amended in order for this state to apply to all city
boards and commissions. The attached code amendment accomplishes this goal.
This is the 2nd reading and will require a roll call vote
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached code amendment
