At the September 26, 2006 meeting, the Council introduced an ordinance amending Sections 2-1601, 2-1602 and 2-1603 of the Burbank Municipal Code, relating to the Conflict of Interest Code.  Staff was directed to include the position of Assistant City Manager to the Appendix of Designated Filers and to make certain that all staff with the ability to make decisions on behalf of a Director have similar disclosure categories.  Additionally, the Council voted 3-2 to approve of staff�s recommendation to include the Board of Library Trustees, Senior Citizen Board, Landlord-Tenant Commission and Heritage Commission to the Appendix of Designated Filers.

Staff has completed a review of the Appendix of Designated Filers as directed and is requesting the Council adopt the submitted ordinance which will amend the Conflict of Interest Code to reflect the changed positions, and to specify disclosure categories on the Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests which more accurately reflect the actual duties and responsibilities of the positions. 

The amendment to this ordinance also removes obsolete references and confusing language from the Conflict of Interest Code.  Previously, the required Appendix listing the designated positions and the disclosure categories was adopted by separate resolution.  This amendment incorporates the Appendix into the Burbank Municipal Code to ensure that future reviews and updates are thorough and complete.

Recommendation:

Adoption of ordinance entitled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING SECTIONS 2-1601, 2-1602, AND 2-1603 OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST CODE.
