With respect to adoption of ordinances and resolutions, the City adheres to the requirements set forth in the Government Code. With the exception of urgency ordinances, Government Code Section 36934 requires two readings of standard ordinances more than five days apart. Ordinances must be read in full at the time of introduction or passage unless a motion waiving the reading is adopted by a majority of the City Council present.

Subsection (A)(12) of Section 8.28.210 (Exempted discharges.) of Chapter 8.28 (Stormwater and Urban Run Off Management and Discharge Controls) of Title 8 (Health and Safety) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby deleted, and the remaining Subsection shall be renumbered accordingly. Section 2. The City Council hereby finds, in the exercise of its independent judgment, that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's CEQA Guidelines pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance, which clarifies that runoff from irrigation water is a prohibited discharge will have a significant effect on the environment. The City already prohibits runoff from irrigation water, and is now clarifying that this prohibition also applies to runoff from irrigation water from a potable water source. In addition, the adoption of the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15307 and 15308 as the City is taking action to protect, maintain, restore and enhance natural resources and the environment. Staff is hereby directed to prepare and post a notice of exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062. Section 3. Certification. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted in the manner required by law. Section 4. Effective Date.

The City of Temecula is fortunate to have dedicated citizens like you who are willing to share their experience and knowledge through service on a City board or commission. The mission statement for the City of Temecula reads as follows: "The mission of the City of Temecula is to maintain a safe, secure, clean, healthy, and orderly community; to balance the utilization of open space, parks, trail facilities, quality jobs, public transportation, diverse housing, and adequate infrastructure; and to enhance and revitalize historic areas. The City will encourage programs for all age groups, utilize its human resources, and preserve its natural resources while stimulating technology, promoting commerce, and utilizing sound fiscal policy. It is the City Council's resolve that this mission will instill a sense of pride and accomplishment in its citizens and that the City will be known as a progressive, innovative, balanced, and environmentally sensitive community." As a board or commission member, you will play an important role in the achievement of this mission. Your ideas and advice on a variety of City issues will assist the City Council in fulfilling its responsibilities to our citizens. In addition, your service will give you an opportunity to increase your knowledge about municipal government operations and you will see the results of your work with fellow members put into action by the City Council, City Manager and City departments. Thank you for accepting this responsibility and challenge. Your service to our community is greatly appreciated. We hope that you will find your service as a board or commission to be both enjoyable and rewarding. Sincerely, James Stewart Mayor SECTION 2 THE COMMISSIONER'S ROLE AND AUTHORITY The primary role of the City boards and commissions is to encourage increased public input and citizen participation in the determination of City policies and procedures. City boards and commissions are not involved in the administration or operation of City departments. Board and commission members may not direct administrative staff to initiate programs, conduct major studies, or establish official policy without the approval of the City Council. However, City staff members are available to provide general staff assistance to boards and commissions. Despite boards and commissions differing tasks, all share some basic responsibilities. Members need to stay informed on subjects of interest to their specific board or commission. The City Council of the City of Temecula encourages and provides opportunities for continuing education to assist the members of City boards and commissions in the conduct of their duties. Conscientious attendance is also a fundamental responsibility, as irregular attendance lessens one's ability to study all aspects of items under consideration. Three unexcused, consecutive absences constitute a vacancy of office. Upon appointment to a board or commission, staff from the City Clerk's department will provide a formalized orientation to provide a thorough review of the Boards and Commissions Handbook; including the Brown Act and conflicts of interest. A more detailed orientation related to specific board and commission issues will be addressed by the lead department. Each member of a board or commission is encouraged to: • Occasionally attend City Council meetings • Attend another board or commission meeting to better understand roles and develop relationships ■ Make presentations at board or commission meetings • Participate in subcommittee opportunities • Participate in a board or commission self -assessment once a year All members are expected to regularly attend their respective board or commission meetings, and attend and support City special events. Community Services Commissioners are also expected to regularly visit all park sites and City facilities being mindful of their intended service to the public. CS Commissioners are encouraged to be engaged with a "license to be creative". Planning Commissioners are also expected to have a firm understanding of the City's General Plan, the Zoning Code, and Standard Conditions of Approval. They are encouraged to visit properties that have submitted applications or are pending review. Planning Commissioners need to disclose their visits and observations at the public hearing on the matter in order so that the applicant has the opportunity to comment on whatever the Planning Commissioner may have observed. Old Town Local Review Board Members are also expected to have an understanding of the General Plan, as well as the Old Town Specific Plan, be familiar with the history of Old Town and regularly visit Old Town facilities. PublicfTraffic Safety Commissioners are also expected to exercise vigilance for traffic/safety hazards and reporting of graffiti; be proactive with respect to public safety and emergency management; become familiar with neighborhoods and communities; occasionally volunteer at DUI check points; and perform periodic inspections of and visits to City facilities. incoming board and commissioner members are encouraged to utilize the following checklist in their first year of service to help them get more acquainted with the City, its values, operational structure, and their board or commission's primary area of focus: All Board or Commission Members: * Attend at least four City Council Meetings * Attend City Sponsored Special Events (i.e., Fourth of July Parade/Fireworks Celebratton, Holiday Parade, Ribbon Cuttings/Dedication Ceremonies, etc.) * Meet with the City Council Commission/Board Liaison to Review Role and Expectations r Meet with the City Manager and/or Assistant City Manager to Review current City Priorities Meet with the City Clerk and/or Designee to Review Disclosure Filing and Ethics Training Requirements f Attend an HOA Meeting f Visit the Saturday Morning Old Town Farmer's Market Community Services Commission: Visit each of the City's Park Sites Visit each of the City's Community Service Facilities Planning Commission • Attend a City Council Meeting that Includes an Item Pertaining to Planning Commission Review • Visit a development project approved within the past two years to review how the Conditions of Approval are being implemented and report back to the Commission Old Town Local Review Board Attend Two or More Old Town Temecula Association (OTTA) Meetings Visit the Temecula History Museum Attend a Planning Commission Meeting that Includes an Item Pertaining to Old Town Public/Traffic Safety Observe a DUI check point Visit each Fire Station ✓ Visit the Southwest Justice Center Visit Each Police Storefront/Substation RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR CITIZEN MEMBERS It is not appropriate for individual members to present their personal views or recommendations as representing the board or commission unless such body has voted to approve such action. Members expressing views not approved by the majority of the board or commission should indicate their opinions are viewed as "private citizens." Individual opinions must be identified as such. Public statements should not include promises that may be construed to be binding on the Committee, City Council, or City staff. When making a public statement, members should indicate that board or commission actions are recommendations and that final action will be taken by the City Council Revised 12/2018 Planning Commissioners should not express any views on projects that will come before the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission must provide due process for the applicants and this requires that Planning Commissions not express any bias or views on a project until all of the information on a project is presented to the Planning Commission at the public hearing and the applicant and the public have expressed their views on the project. Board or commission members may be selected on the basis of representing defined groups; however, each member should represent the overall "public good" and not an exclusive group or special interest. GUIDELINES QUALITIES AND ATTRIBUTES OF AN EFFECTIVE BOARD OR COMMISSION MEMBER • Be an informed citizen (knowledgeable about local affairs). ■ Have a good rapport with citizens. ■ Have a genuine concern for the community as a whole. • Be a good listener. Relate well to other people, including other board or commission members. The success or failure of board or commission efforts may be dependent upon the degree of cooperation evident among the individual members of the body. Serve in another capacity priorto board or commission service (i.e. volunteer groups, non-profit organizations, service clubs, etc.) • Have the ability to accept decisions not of one's own personal view if that is the will of the majority. ■ In addition, each member should keep in mind these important points: " Show respect for another's viewpoint. Allow others adequate time to fully present their views before making comments. Be open and honest. Make new members welcome and help them become acquainted with their duties. " Strive to minimize political action among members. ROLE AUTHORITY AND STAFFING OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS The City Council is empowered to establish boards and commissions and to appoint members to assist the City Council in the conduct of City business. Members usually represent a cross-section of the community. No member of any board or commission shall be a City employee, nor shall any person be a member of more than one board or commission at any one time. The primary role of any City board or commission member is to review and make recommendations to the City Council on matters within their scope of responsibility and to promote increased public input and citizen participation in the determination of City policies and program implementation. Revised 1212018 The specific role of City boards and commissions is to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council, focusing attention on specific program areas of the City. The City Council may authorize certain "Commissions" to take final actions in prescribed areas. For example, the Planning Commission is authorized to grant final approval of certain projects and is required to provide a recommendation to the City Council on other projects. In addition, staff may bring various projects to a board or commission for their review before taking that matter to the City Council for final approval. Boards and commissions serve as a principal reviewing body for specific matters referred to them by the City Council. All decisions however, are subject to review by the City Council. Board and commission members are empowered by an appointment of the City Council and should represent the general interest of the City as whole and not specific program areas and their special interest groups. The City Council will appoint one Council Member to serve as Council Liaison to a particular board or commission. This Council person will be available to the board and commission members for individual consultation throughout the year.

Revised 1212016 Absentee record of all board or commission members will become part of the incumbent performance review, with the understanding that if three absences occur within a 12 month period, the Council Liaison to that board or commission will be notified for further review. If these absences are not acceptable to the Council Liaison, a recommendation to the City Council will be made by the liaison for removal from the board or commission. This is in addition to the existing ordinance which stipulates that should any board or commission member be absent from any three consecutive meetings of the commission, without excuse acceptable to the City Council. that member shall vacate his or her seat on the commission. Additional guidelines for consideration of candidates who have served two full terms and apply for subsequent terms. Consideration of these candidates will be given only under the following guidelines: • The incumbent shall have served as Chair or Vice -Chair of their respective Board or Commission. • The incumbent shall have served on at least one sub -committee, or special project, of their respective Board or Commission.

The most important duty of the Chairperson lies in his/her ability to find a common ground and achieve workable compromises if appropriate. The Chairperson must be able to represent the entire group to the City Council and community groups. Minutes Minutes shall be taken for all board and commission meetings. The Council has provided that these minutes shall be "action minutes" and not "verbatim" which briefly describe the issues and actions taken.

Revised 1212018 Development and Review of Board and Commission Goals and Department Policies The City of Temecula prepares and operates on an annual budget cycle. Boards and commissions are encouraged to annually review and corn ment on department programs and cap+taI projects that may be related to their scope of interest. This evaluation is intended to focus attention on the overaii program and service priorities and board and commission objectives; and is not intended to be an evaluation of the administration or operation of City departments. Involvement in Administrative Matters Boards and commissions should not become involved in the administrative or operational matters of City departments unless specifically provided in the prescribed powers and duties. Members may not direct staff to initiate major programs, conduct large studies or establish department policy without approval of the City Council. City staff assigned to furnish staff services shall be available to provide general staff assistance, such as preparation of agenda materials, general review of department programs and activities, to perform limited studies, program reviews and other services of a general staff nature. Boards and commissions may not establish department work programs or determine department program priorities unless specifically authorized in their prescribed powers and duties. The responsibility for setting policy and allocating City resources rests properly with the City's duly elected representatives, the City Council, and cannot be delegated to an outside group. however capable and interested it might be. Communication with the City Council To avoid possible compromising situations, during a City Council meeting the invitation to individual board or commission members to address the Council an matters relating to their official capacity rests solely with the City Council. It should be emphasized that when asked to address the Council on a matter, the member should represent the viewpoint of the board or commission as a whole (not a personal opinion); unless a proper qualification is made. Working with Other Members Members should make every effort to uphold their reputation for honesty, fairness, and openness with the citizens of the community. Each group will undoubtedly consist of diverse personalities; it is important that the board or commission work together to accomplish common goals. Working with Staff Board or commission members are individually appointed by the City Council. City staff assigned to work with the groups report to the City Manager, who in turn, reports to the City Council. A department director or administrator usually arranges staff support for each group. If a board or commission member wishes to initiate a project that requires in depth staff involvement, it is necessary for the project to be placed on the board or commission agenda for discussion and recommendation to the City Council that the project be authorized. Staff may begin preparing the necessary reports and studies after the City Council has authorized the project. Providing in depth staff support may require operational adjustments. Members are encouraged to be cognizant of the time involved on the part of staff in preparing requested studies and reports. Individuals should make every attempt to clarify differences and make certain that clear communication is taking place. The public meeting should not be used to express anger or disagreement. If differences cannot be resolved by this method, the Councilmember serving as Board or Commission Liaison and/or City Manager should be consulted to resolve the matter. Revised 1212018 6 Staff Reports to Council on Board or Commission Actions On occasion, staff will be required to prepare an agenda report on either a board or commission action or appeal for City Council review. The staff member should present both the staff position and the board or commission's position in the report. The majority and minority viewpoints of the board or commission members should also be presented in the staff report. It is the desire of the City Council to have an opportunity to hear and consider all sides of an issue and alternative recommendations to assist in their decision -making process. Procedure for Handling Public or Appeal Hearings In some instances, commissions will have to conduct a public hearing, either on a major issue of concern to the community or on a permit application or appeal of a staff decision. It is recommended that the procedure established by the City Attorney be followed at ail times during the conduct of these types of hearings. Legal Assistance Some boards or commissions require the presence of a City Attorney. When there is doubt concerning the legality of an issue, the attorney should advise members as to the legality of the proposed action. Great care must be taken in the maintenance of records of the proceedings. The direction of the City Attorney should be followed closely. When in doubt about the legality of a procedure, the board or commission should refrain from additional discussion and decision making until the legal opinion is rendered. If necessary, a hearing may be continued until matters can be clarified. The attorney must control the circumstances surrounding a particular matter since he/she may be required to defend the action in court. Council Review of Action Most actions and recommendations of boards or commissions may be appealed to the City Council for review and approval. Certain actions are final with the commission with no right of appeal. Public Appearance of Members When a board or commission member appears in a non-officiai, non -representative capacity before any public or private body, the member shall not identify or disclose his/her membership on a board or commission. If a question of membership arises, the member shall indicate that he/she is appealing and speaking only as an individual. There are significant Legal restrictions on the ability of a board or commission member to appear before any board or commission of the City, and particularly his or her own board or commission. The City Attorney should be consulted in advance of any such appearance. Members should take particular care to comply with provisions of the Brown Act that governs open public meetings. While the staff provides the appropriate notice and agendas for board and commission meetings, individual members need to be careful that they do not discuss City business with other board or commission members, either together or one at at time, outside of a properly noticed public meeting. A summary of the major provisions and requirements of the Rai ph M. Brown Act is included in this handbook. Revised 1212018 7 Board ❑r Commission Members Running for Eiective Office Members of the City's boards or commissions shall be permitted to retain membership on such appointive bodies while seeking any elective office. Members of appointive bodies shall not, however, use the meetings, functions or activities of such bodies for purposes of campaigning for elective office. There are also significant conflict of interest rules relating to campaign contributions to a board or commission member who is running for any elective office. Unlike members of the City Council, campaign contributions to board or commission members are considered as income and the conflict of interest rules apply to any board ❑r commission actions involving a campaign contributor. These rules are described in the Conflict of Interest Handbook and the City Attorney should be consulted by any board or commission member who decides to run for any elective office. Board ❑r Commission Positions on Ballot Pro osals and Legislation Boards and commissions may review and make recommendations to the City Council on ballot proposals and legislation. The City Council shall review all such recommendations. Board or commission members shall only represent the majority position of the City Council on such matters unless speaking as an individual or indicating a minority opinion.

What requirements does AB 1234 create regarding ethics training for local officials? The basic thrust of AB 1234 is to require covered officials (see next question) to take two hours of training in ethics principles and laws every two years. E Who's Covered 2. Who must receive mandatory ethics training? Basically the requirement applies to those elected or appointed officials who are compensated for their service or reimbursed for their expenses.2 The specific trigger for this requirement is whether the agency either compensates or reimburses expenses for members of any of its Brown Act covered bodies; if it does, then all elected and appointed "local agency officials" (as defined) must receive this training.3 "Local agency official" means any member of a legislative body or any elected local agency official who receives compensation or expense reimbursement.4 "Local agency" means "a city, county, city and county, charter city, charter county, charter city and county, or special district."5 Thus the training requirement does not include agencies on which local officials serve (for example, redevelopment agency governing boards or joint powers agencies), although many such officials will likely be covered by virtue of their status with cities, counties and special districts. Note that it also does not include school districts. Note that local agencies also have the option of requiring certain employees to receive this training,6 1400 K Street, Suite 205 • Sacramento, CA 95814 . 916.658.8208 F 916.444,7535 • www.ca-ilg.org State Ethics Training Requirements For Local Officials. FAGS September 2012 I What if an agency has a number of board members and commissioners who could theoretically get reimbursed for such expenses but as a practical matter haven't been for a long time? Determining whether such officials should receive such training involves a judgment call in consultation with one's agency attorney. Some agencies are rethinking whether they want to reimburse the members of all their commissioners and board members or be more selective. Another consideration is whether the nature of such officials' duties are such that the official would benefit from such training and the agency would benefit from having this official be trained (in terms of reducing the likelihood of missteps). Another approach is for an agency to identify all commissioners and board members that have been reimbursed and/or compensated in the past year and notify them of their need to receive training. For others who haven't been reimbursed and/or compensated, the expense reimbursement forms required by AB 12347 could include an advisory which alerts board members and commissioners of the need to get training if they are seeking reimbursement for expenses. 4. What about those who serve on multiple local agency bodies? The official only has to satisfy the requirement once (within one year of taking office and every two years after that). Institute for Local Government www.ca-ilq-org State Ethics Training Requirements For Local Officials: FAQs September 2012 5. Can AB 9234's ethics training requirements constitutionally apply to charter cities? Many city attorneys are not convinced that AB 1234 contains the necessary findings to make it applicable to charter cities, although the bill purports to appl to charter cities by including charter cities within the definition of local agency_ However, a number of charter cities already have such training programs and/or think they would be helpful and hence, are voluntarily complying with the spirit of AB 1234. Such an approach may reflect well on a city and city officials should the local media inquire about city officials' compliance with AB 1234. Timing and Deadline Issues 6. By when must an official receive such training and how often again after that? Officials in Service as of January 1, 2006. Except for officials whose term of office ends before January 1, 2007, those in office on January 1, 2006 must receive the training before January 1, 2007.1° After that, they must receive the training at least once every two years. I Officials whose term of office ends before January 9, 2007 were excused. {Z • Those Beginning Service After January 1, 2006. Those who enter office after January 1, 2006 must receive the training within a year of starting their service. They must then receive the training every two years after that. 13 Reasonable attorneys disagree how the "every two years" requirement should be interpreted. One interpretation would be that, if an official received the required training on May 15, 2011, the official would need to receive training again on or before May 14, 2013. Another would be that this same official satisfied the requirement in 2011 and needs to again satisfy the requirement in 2013.

When local a ency officials receive the training, they will be given proof of participation. a Copies of these certificates must be provided to the agency's custodian of records and maintained as public records subject to disclosure to the media, the public and others for at least five years. 15 8. What is the enforcement mechanism to assure that local officials receive such training? The new law is directory; there is no specific penalty for failing to complete the required training.16 Presumably there will be a periodic public records requests by the media, candidates and others to verify which officials have and have not met the requirements. 17 Local agencies are using a variety of techniques to encourage compliance. Options include: 1. Circulate a List of Complying and Non -complying Officials within the Agency. Putting who has (and who has not) complied in writing along with a reminder that the agency is expecting media and other inquiries may be one way to encourage compliance. This list can be circulated to officials with a thank you to those who have satisfied the requirement and a list of options for compliance for those who have not. 2. Create a Financial Penalty. Another option for encouraging compliance is to adopt a policy that officials who have not complied with their AB 1234 training requirements will not be eligible to have their expenses reimbursed. 3. Make Compliance a Condition of Agency Service for Appointees. In situations where the non -compliant official is an appointee, a local policy could provide the appointment be either rescinded or that the non- complying individual is ineligible for re -appointment. 4. Post Certificates on Agency's Website. The agency can post scans of those within the agency who have complied with the requirement, which also lets the media and the public know how the official satisfied the training. Institute for Local Government www.ca-ilg.org 4 State Ethics Training Requirements For Local Officials: FAQs September 2012 Content Issues, Options for Satisfying the Requirement and Trainer Qualifications 9. Where can local officials get this training? Local agencies must provide covered officials with a list of options for satisfying this requirement at least once a year. 18 The training can occur in -person, online or on a self -study basis (read materials and take a test).19 Agencies are not required to provide the training themselves, although a number may choose to do so. A variety of organizations offer such training (including law firms and nonprofit organizations). In addition, there are self -study materials available from the Institute for Local Government's website (www. ca-i lg.orglAB 1234compliance) as well as a free online course at http://Iocaletbics,fppe.ca.gov or hU:Ilwww.localethics.fppc.ca.gov that the Institute developed in collaboration with the FPPC. The Institute also has materials for in-house counsel and others who are interested in offering such training. 10. How do people or organizations become certified as AB 1234 ethics trainers? Strictly speaking, they don't. The Attorney General and FPPC have adopted guidelines for course curriculum accuracy and sufficiency, but there is no trainer - certification requirement.20 The Attorney General's guidelines require that the ethics law portion of AB 1234 training be given only by attorneys licensed to practice law in California and knowledgeable about California's ethics laws. 11. What issues must AB 1234 ethics training programs address? The training must cover general ethics principles relating to public service and ethics laws.21 "Ethics laws" are defined as including:22 ■ Laws relating to personal financial gain by public officials (including bribery and conflict of interest laws); • Laws relating to office -holder perks, including gifts and travel restrictions, personal and political use of public resources and prohibitions against gifts of public funds; Institute for Local Government www.ca-ilg.or_g 5 State Ethics Training Requirements For Local Officials: FAQs September 2012 Governmental transparency laws, including financial disclosure requirements and open government Iaws (the Brown Act and Public Records Act); Law relating to fair processes, including fair contracting requirements, common law bias requirements and due process. The Institute has materials to address these issues. The ILG resources can be found at www.ca-ilg.orglAB 1234compliance. Given the breadth of the subjects that need to be covered, the goal of the training cannot be to teach local officials the law in each of these areas. Instead the goat needs to be to acquaint local officials with the fact that there are laws that govern their behavior in each of these areas, to motivate officials to comply with such laws (among other things by explaining the consequences of missteps) and to alert them on when they need to seek the advice of qualified legal counsel when issues arise with respect to such laws. Note that the Attorney General's Guidelines allow those who have taken the initial overview course to go deeper into certain aspects of ethics law in subsequent compliance efforts. 2 12. Can l get State gar minimum continuing legal education (MCLE) credit for attending AB 1234 training? Yes. AB 1234 training is eligible for MCLE participatory credit,' provided the training complies with MCLE requirements. It is not, however, eligible for MCLE legal ethics credit.25 Brown Act Compliance 13. Must an AB 1234 training session that will be attended by a quorum of a legislative body comply with the Brown Act? The consensus appears to be that the Brown Act applies and therefore, the meeting must be open to the public and properly noticed. The Brown Act requires regular "meetings" of "legislative bodies" of local public agencies be open and public.26 A "meeting" is "any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the same time and place to hear, discuss, or deliberate upon any item that is within the subject matter Jurisdiction of the legislative body or the local agency to which it pertains." ' Theoretically, it is possible for a majority of the members of a legislative body to attend an AB 1234 training session without triggering the Brown Act provided that they neither hear Institute for Local Goverrmment www.ca-ilg.org 6 State Ethics Training Requirements For Local Officials: FADs September 2012 nor discuss any topic that arguably comes within the legislative body's subject matter jurisdiction. The goal of AB 1234 training, however, is to acquaint local officials with the laws that govern their behavior and motivate them to comply with such laws. In light of this goal, it is highly likely that training attendees will ask questions related to matters within the legislative body's subject matter jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Institute believes that the best course of action is to comply with the Brown Act. Note that AB 1234 training that occurs at conference sessions are subject to the conference session exception to the Brown. Act. zs 1 Cal. Gov't Code § 53235(a), (b). ' The language is potentially confusing on this point. The new law says that if a local agency provides any type of compensation or reimbursement for members of its legislative bodies, then all "local agency officials" must receive training. See Cal. Gov't Code § 53235(a). But the definition of "local agency official" means "any member of a local agency legislative body or any elected official who receives any type of compensation ...or reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties." See Cal. Gov't Code § 53234(c)(1). 3 Cal. Gov't Code § 53235(a) ("If a local agency provides any type of compensation, salary, or stipend to a member of a legislative body, or provides reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred by a member of a legislative body in the performance of official duties, then all local agency officials shall receive training in ethics pursuant to this article"); § 53234(a) (defining legislative body by reference to the Brown Act, Government Code section 54952). 4 Cal. Gov't Code § 53234(c)(1). 5 Cal. Gov't Code § 53234(b). 6 Cal. Gov't Code § 53234(c)(2). 7 Cal. Gov't Code § 53232.3(a). e See Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(c). 4 Cal. Gov't Code § 53234(b). 10 See Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(a). " See Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(a). 'Z Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(a). '3 See Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(b). The law requires that subsequent training occur "at least once every two years." Some agencies interpret this to mean that training may occur in successive two year periods, not necessarily before the two year anniversary of the last training. This is an area where substantial compliance based on the spirit of the law should be sufficient. 1' Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.1(e). 15 Cal. Gov't Code § 53235.2. 16 Cal, Gov't Code § 53235.2. i7 Note: in addition to maintaining records on compliance with the minimum standards imposed by AB 1234, local agencies may also want to maintain records of any additional training local agency officials received. This will enable those inquiring to ascertain the agency's and individual's full scope of commitment to understanding the ethical and legal obligations associated with public service. �a Cal.

A gift is reportable if its fair market value is $50 or more. In addition, multiple gifts totaling $50 or more received during the reporting period from a single source must be reported. It is the acceptance of a gift, not the ultimate use to which it is put. that imposes your reporting obligation. Except as noted below, you must report a gift even if you never used it or if you gave it away to another person. If the exact amount of a gift is unknown, you must make a good faith estimate of the item's fair market value. Listing the value of a gift as "over $50" or "value unknown" is not adequate disclosure. In addition, if you received a gift through an intermediary, you must disclose the name, address, and business activity of both the donor and the intermediary. You may indicate an intermediary either in the "source" field after the name or in the "comments" section at the bottom of Schedule D. Commonly reportable gifts include: Tickets/passes to sporting or entertainment events Tickets/passes to amusement parks • Parking passes not used for official agency business • Food, beverages, and accommodations, including those provided in direct connection with your attendance at a convention, conference, meeting, social event. meal, or like gathering • Rebates/discounts not made in the regular course of business to members of the public without regard to official status • Wedding gifts (See Reference Pamphlet, page 16) • An honorarium received prior to assuming office (You may report an honorarium as income on Schedule C, rather than as a gift on Schedule D. if you provided services of equal or greater value than the payment received.

Gifts of travel may be subject to the gift limit. In addition, certain travel payments are reportable gifts, but are not subject to the gift limit. To avoid possible misinterpretation or the perception that you have received a gift in excess of the gift limit, you may wish to provide a specific description of the purpose of your travel. (See the FPPC fact sheet entitled "Limitations and Restrictions on Gifts. Honoraria, Travel, and Loans" to read about travel payments under section 89505(a) .) You are ngl required to disclose: • Travel payments received from any state, local, or federal government agency for which you provided services equal or greater in value than the payments received. such as reimbursement for travel on agency business from your government agency employer. • A payment for travel from another local, state, or federal government agency and related per diem expenses when the travel is for education, training or other inter -agency programs or purposes. • Travel payments received from your employer in the normal course of your employment that are included in the income reported on Schedule C. • A travel payment that was received from a nonprofit entity exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) for which you provided equal or greater consideration, such as reimbursement for travel on business for a 501(c)(3) organization for which you are a board member. Note. Certain travel payments may not be reportable if reported via email on Form 801 by your agency. To Complete Schedule E: • Disclose the full name (not an acronym) and address of the source of the travel payment. • Identify the business activity if the source is a business entity. • Check the box to identify the payment as a gift or income, report the amount, and disclose the date(s). - Travel payments are gifts if you did not provide services that were equal to or greater in value than the payments received. You must disclose gifts totaling $50 or more from a single source during the period covered by the statement. When reporting travel payments that are gifts, you must provide a description of the gift, the date(s) received, and the travel destination, - Travel payments are income if you provided services that were equal to or greater in value than the payments received. You must disclose income totaling $500 or more from a single source during the period covered by the statement. You have the burden of proving the payments are income rather than gifts. When reporting travel payments as income, you must describe the services you provided in exchange for the payment. You are not required to disclose the date(s) for travel payments that are income. Example: City council member MaryClaire Chandler is the chair of a 601(c)(5) trade association, and the association pays for her travel to attend its meetings. Because MaryClaire is deemed to be providing equal or greater consideration for the travel payment by virtue of serving on the board, this payment may be reported as income. Payments for MaryClaire to attend other events for which she is not providing services are likely considered gifts.

The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the state agency responsible for issuing the attached Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and for interpreting the law's provisions. Gift Prohibition Gifts received by most state and local officials, employees, and candidates are subject to a limit. In 2017 and 2018, the gift limit was $470 from a single source during a calendar year. In 2019-2020, the gift limit increased to $500 from a single source during a calendar year. In addition, state officials, state candidates, and certain state employees are subject to a $10 limit per calendar month on gifts from lobbyists and lobbying firms registered with the Secretary of State. See Reference Pamphlet. page 10. State and local officials and employees should check with their agency to determine if other restrictions apply. Disqualification Public officials are, under certain circumstances, required to disqualify themselves from making, participating in, or attempting to influence governmental decisions that will affect their economic interests. This may include interests they are not required to disclose. For example, a personal residence is often not reportable, but may be grounds for disqualification. Specific disqualification requirements apply to 87200 filers (e.g., city councilmembers, members of boards of supervisors, planning commissioners, etc.). These officials must publicly identify the economic interest that creates a conflict of interest and leave the room before a discussion or vote takes place at a public meeting.

The text of the laws and regulations referenced in this Handbook can be found on the websites for the California Legislature(http://Ieginfo.legislature.co.gcv/faces/codes.xhtml) and the Fair Political Practices Commission j"FPPC"j (http://www.fppc.co.gov/the-law.html). This Handbook is designed to familiarize city officials and staff with California's principal conflicts of interest laws and regulations. Because the laws and regulations change frequently, we recommend that you use this Handbook to become familiar with the basic principles of the conflict laws and regulations, but we also recommend that you contact your City Attorney as soon as you think that you may have a potential conflict of interest. We would be glad to help you analyze a potential conflict of interest and/or contact the FPPC for guidance. We hope you find this Handbook useful. Should you have any questions about the information included in this Handbook, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations I. LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING DECISION -MAKING A. The Political Reform Act In 1974, California voters approved Proposition 9, a statewide initiative titled "the Political Reform Act" (the "Act" or the "PRA"). Gov't Code § 81000 et seq.' At the time, the measure was the most detailed disclosure law in the nation, and it included new requirements for reporting campaign and lobbying activities. Although the Act was initially written before the Watergate scandal broke, by the time Proposition 9 appeared on the ballot, the drama had unfolded, and nationwide reform proposals were being drafted. The Act passed by an overwhelming majority, and one of its provisions created a new state agency called the Fair Political Practices Commission ("FPPC"). The FPPC was charged with interpreting and enforcing the Act, and pursuant to this authority, the agency drafted a series of regulations. Since the Act went into effect in 1975, the FPPC has issued new regulations and amendments to existing regulations almost every year. The Act covers numerous topics germane to ethical behavior in public office —financial data reporting obligations, lobbying restrictions, required campaign disclosures, limitations on campaign financing, proscriptions on mass mailings, restrictions on gifts and honoraria, and most significantly, prohibitions on conflicts of interest in the making of governmental decisions. The Act also contains reporting procedures for financial interests and campaign contributions, as well as disqualification requirements when certain financial interests or campaign contribution standards are satisfied. Please note that this Handbook is general in nature and may not cover all aspects of an actual conflicts of interest issue. Thus, it is not intended to constitute advice on specific conflicts of interest questions. In the event you have concerns about a possible conflict of interest, you should contact your city attorney or agency counsel for further advice. All statutory references are to the California Government Code unless otherwise indicated. Regulations of the FPPC are referred to as "Regulation." summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 1 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 1. Disclosure Requirements under the Political Reform Act a. Statements of Economic interests The Act requires public officials to disclose assets and income that may be materially affected by their officiaf actions by filing a "Statement of Economic Interests" (also known as a "Form 700") . § 87202, Regulation 18115. The requirement applies to council members, judges, elected state officers, members of planning commissions, members of boards of supervisors, district attorneys, county counsels, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers and other public officials who manage public investments, and to candidates for any of these offices at any election. § 87200. Officials must file the Form 700 within 30 days after assuming office, and candidates must file no later than the final filing date of a declaration of candidacy. §§ 87201-02. An official must file annually thereafter until he or she leaves office, at which point he or she must file a final statement. §§ 87202-03. The required disclosures on the Form 700 include: • Investments in business entities (e.g., stock holdings, owning a business, a partnership) that are located or do business in the jurisdiction; ■ Interests in real estate (real property) in the jurisdiction, but not including the official's home address, • Sources of personal income,2 including gifts, loans and travel payments;3 and ■ Positions of management or employment with business entities that do business in the jurisdiction. § 87203. If the official no longer holds certain investments and real property interests at the time of filing, but held them during the 12 months prior to filing, he or she must still disclose those interests on the Form 700, Id. The Form 700 is a public document open to inspection and duplication. For public officials not covered by the requirements of Section 87203, including employees of state and local government agencies, it is up to the agencies that employ them to decide what their disclosure requirements are, Each state and local agency must adopt a conflicts of interest code tailoring the disclosure requirements for each position within the agency to the types of governmental decisions a person holding that position would make. For example, an employee who approves contracts for goods or services purchased by his or her agency would not be required to disclose 2 In some instances, an official may need to disclose the sources of income to a business entity in which the official has an ownership interest if the official owns at least 10 percent of a business. In that case, the official would be required to disciose a source of income to the business as a source of income to the official if the official's pro rato share of gross receipts from that source exceeds $10,Q00 in aggregate during the reporting period. § 87207(bj. In those cases, the official must report the name, address, and a general description of the business activity of the business entity, as well as the name of the source of income that aggregates to $10,000 or more. 3 As of January 1, 2016, if an official receives a gift that is a travel payment, advance, or reimbursement valued at $50 or more, the official must also disclose the travel destination. § 67207(a)(4), summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 2 QQ 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations real estate interests, but would be required to disclose investments in and income from individuals and entities that supply equipment, materials, or services to the agency. §§ 87301-02. A city that maintains an internet website must post ❑ list of the elected officers who file a Form 700 with that city. A statement must also be posted on the website indicating that these Form 700s may be obtained by visiting the FPPC office or the city clerk's office. The statement must include the physical address for both the FPPC and the city clerk's office. Finally, a link to the FPPC website must be posted with a statement that indicates that Form 700 "for some state and local government agency elected officers may be available in electronic format" on the FPPC's internet website. § 87505. In 2013, the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 409, which allows the FPPC and local agencies to develop an online system for filing Form 700s. Only a limited number of public agencies have received FPPC approval to establish an electronic filing system at this point. If a local agency elects to establish such a system, filers must submit their Form 700 electronically. § 87500.2. b. Behested Payments There are also disclosure requirements for certain fundraising activities that elected officials perform for others, including in their capacity as employees or board members of nonprofit organizations. Elected officials who successfully solicit one or more contributions for "legislative, governmental, or charitable purposes" that equal or exceed $5,000 in the aggregate from the same source during a single calendar year must file ❑ report with the official's agency (typically the city clerk) within 30 days of reaching the $5,000 threshold. § 84224(a). The report must contain the following information: / The contributor's name and address; The amount of the contribution; The date or dates on which the payments were made; The name and address of the contribution recipient; If goods or services were contributed, a description of those goods and services, and A description of the purpose or event for which the contribution was used. The statute does not define the term "legislative, governmental, or charitable purposes," but charitable purposes typically involve 501(c) (3) organizations. Examples of "governmental" purposes include fundraising for ❑ new city hall roof, an inaugural celebration committee,4 litigation expenses,5 a breakfast honoring public safety Sutton Advice Letter, No. A-05-256, 2005 WL 3693740 (2005). s 5toen Advice Letter, No, A-03-185, 2004 WL 334564 (2004) (district attorney's expenses in suing a privote company when governing body withdrew funding for effort).

The term "legislative purpose," in turn, refers to a 1996 PPPC opinion in which a state senator asked a private party to pay for a witness' airfare and expenses to testify at a legislative he❑ring.8 These reporting requirements also apply if the payment is "made at the behest of" the elected officer, even if the officer did not actively solicit contributions. §§ 82004.5, 82041.3. A payment is "made at the behest of" an elected officer when it is made "under the control or at the direction of, in cooperation, consultation, coordination, or concert with, at the request or suggestion of, or with the express, prior consent of." Id. This disclosure requirement does not apply to a behested payment made by a local, state, or federal governmental agency for ❑ principally legislative or governmental purpose. § 84224(b) (4). 2. Conflicts of Interest under the Political Reform Act In addition to the disclosure requirements, the Act requires public officials to disqualify themselves from making, participating in making, or in any way attempting to use their official position to influence a governmental decision in which they know or have reason to know they have a financial interest. § 87100; Regulation 18700. An official has a disqualifying financial interest in ❑ decision if the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect, distinguishable from its effect on the public generally, directly on the official or a member of the official's immediate family, or on certain listed financial interests. The listed financial interests are: • Any business entity in which the public official has a direct or indirect investment worth $2,000 or more. Any real property in which the public official has a direct or indirect interest worth $2,000 or more. ■ Any source of income, including commission income or incentive income, aggregating to at least $500 within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made. The $500 must be provided or promised to, or received by, the official during the 12 months before the decision. ■ Any business entity (excluding nonprofit corporations) in which the public official is a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or holds any position of management. • Any donor of, or any intermediary or agent for ❑ donor of, a gift or gifts aggregating $500 or more in value provided to, received by, or promised to the public official within 12 months prior to the time when the decision is made. ° Gallegos Advice Letter, No. A-00-059, 2000 WL 311529 (2000) - Gallegos Advice Letter, No. A-98-192, 1998 WL 671296 (19981. e 5chmidt Advice Letter, No. A-96-D98, 1996 WL 779579 (1996). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 4 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations § 87103; Regulations 18700 and 18940.2. The FPPC regulations interpret and provide guidance for most of the terms used in the Act. The FPPC also provides standards for determining if each element of the Act's prohibitions has been satisfied. 3. The FPPC's Test for Analyzing Conflicts of Interest In the past few years, the FPPC has reorganized and revised the conflict of interest regulations in a comprehensive manner. Under the old regulations, a public official was advised to follow an eight -part test to analyze a potential conflict of interest. The newfy revised regulations establish a new four-part test, as stated in Regulation 18700(d). The new FPPC four-part test assumes that an official already has determined whether he or she is a public official within the meaning of the Act. The new test also assumes that the official has identified the financial interests that may be affected by a particular governmental decision. Since these two steps are necessary for a complete analysis, we recommend that public officials follow the seven steps described below, which incorporate these two initial steps as well as the FPPC's new four-part test. STEP ONE: IS A PUBLIC OFFICIAL INVOLVED? Determine whether the individual is a public official within the meaning of the Act, The Act applies only to "public officials." Regulation 18700(b). A "public official" is defined to include a "member, officer, employee, or consultant" of a state or local government agency. § 82048, Regulation 18700(c). The regulations define "member" and "consultant" as follows: A "member" does not include an individual who performs duties as part of a committee, board, commission, group, or other body that does not have decision -making authority. A board or commission possesses decision -making authority if; (i) it may make a final governmental decision, (ii) it may compel or prevent a governmental decision by reason of an exclusive power to initiate the decision or by reason of a veto that may not be overridden, or (iii) it makes substantive recommendations, which, over an extended period of time, have been regularly approved without significant amendment or modification by another official or agency. Regulation 18700(c) (2). + A "consultant�' includes an individual who, pursuant to a contract with a state or local government agency, makes specific kinds of governmental 4 For more an who constitutes a "consultant" subject to the Act, see, e.g., Ennis Advice Letter, FPPC No. A-15-006, 2015 WL 1781 144 (2015).

Regulation 18700.3. STEP TWO: WHAT ARE THE PUBLIC OFFICIAL'S FINANCIAL INTERESTS? Identify the public official's financial interests. A public official's financial interests include certain business entities, real property, sources of income, and donors of gifts (as well as intermediaries and agents of such donors). Regulation 18700(c)(6). More specifically, a public official has a financial interest in any of the following: • A business entity in which the official has a direct or indirect investment worth at least $2,000.11) (Mote: In certain situations, this can include a parent,'' subsidiary,12 or otherwise related13 business entity.14) • Any real property in which the public official has ❑ direct or indirect interest worth at least $2,000.15 Real property interests include all leases except month -to -month leases and leases with terms shorter than a month. Regulation 18233. • Any "source of income" of at least $500 that is provided or promised to the public official, or received by the public official within 12 months prior 10 The FPPC has determined that membership in a county club is a financial interest in the club as a business entity when the membership is transferrable and can be resold for profit or loss. Gee Advice Letter, FPPC No. A-17-249, 2018 WL 723401 (2018), V A business entity is a "parent" if it is a corporation that controls more than 50 percent of the voting stock of another corporation; the parent corporation is also a parent to any subsidiaries of the corporation that it controls. Regulation 18700.2 (bj(i). 12 A business entity is a "subsidiary" if it is a corporation whose voting stock is more than 50 percent controlled by another corporation; the subsidiary corporation is also a subsidiary to any corporation that controls its parent corporation. Regulation 18700.2 (b) (2). 13 Business entities, other than a parent corporation, are "otherwise related" if (i I the same person or persons together direct or control each business entity, or (2) the same person or persons together have a 50 percent or greater ownership interest in each business entity, Regulation 18700.2 (b)(3). 14 An official with a financial interest in a business entity also has an interest in a parent or subsidiary of the business entity or an otherwise related business entity, unless (1) the official's only interest is that of a shareholder and the official is a passive shareholder with less than 5 percent of the shares of the corporation, and (2) the parent corporation is required to file annual Form 10-K or 20-F Reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has not identified the subsidiary on those forms or its annual report. Regulation 18700.2 (cI-(d). 15 The FPPC has determined that membership in a country club is a financial interest in real property when the member would be entitled to a proportionate share of the value of the club's assets if the club were dissolved. Gee Advice Letter, FPPC No. A-17-249, 2018 WL 723401 (20181. summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest laws and Regulations Page 6 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations to a governmental decision, not including gifts and loans by banks available to the general public. Income is "promised to" the official if he or she has ❑ "legally enforceable right to the promised income." Regulation 18700(c) (6) (C). The term "source of income" may include individuals, organizations, and businesses. If the "source of income" is a business that provides or promises the official at least $500 within 12 months prior to a governmental decision, the official also has a source -of - income interest in: (1) any individual owning at least a 50 percent interest in that business, and (2) any individual who has the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of the business. Regulation 18700.1(a) (2). ■ Any business entity in which the public official is a director, officer, partner, trustee, or employee, or holds any position of management. (Note: Again, this may include a parent, subsidiary, or otherwise related businesses entity.) • Any donor of gifts, or any intermediary or agent for a donor of gifts, amounting to at least $500 where that amount is provided to, received by, or promised to the official in the 12 months prior to a governmental decision. Regulation 18700(c) (6) (E). • The personal finances of the public official and immediate family. This is a sort of "catch-aW' provision that is meant to address economic interests of a public official and his or her immediate family that do not qualify as investments, property, or business entities, but are nonetheless potentially affected by government decisions. §§ 82047, 87103, Regulations 18700, 18940.2. The terms "indirect investment" and "indirect interest" are used to indicate investments and interests owned by the spouse or dependent child of the public official, an agent of the public official, or a business entity in which the official, or his or her agent's spouse, or dependent children, has at least a ten percent ownership interest. Regulation 18700(c) (6) (F). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 7 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lows and Regulations STEP THREE: IS IT REASONABLY FORESEEABLE THAT THE GOVERNMENTAL DECISION WILL HAVE A FINANCIAL EFFECT ON ANY OF THE OFFICIAL'S FINANCIAL INTERESTS? Determine whether the governmental decision will have a reasonably foreseeable financial effect on any of the public official's financial interests. Regulation 18701 draws a distinction between a financial interest that is "explicifly Involved" in a decision, on the one hand, and a financial interest that is not "explicitly involved" in a decision, on the other hand. Financial interests are considered to be explicitly involved in a decision if the interest is a "named party in, or the subject of, a governmental decision before the official or the official's agency." Regulation 18701(a). A financial interest is the "subject" of a proceeding "if the decision involves the issuance, renewal, approval, denial or revocation of any license, permit, or other entitlement to, or contract with the financial interest, and includes any governmental decision affecting a real property financial interest as described in Regulation 18702.2(a) (1 ) - (6) ." Regulation 18701(a). In those cases, the financial effect is presumed to be reasonably foreseeable. Even if a financial interest is not explicitly involved in a decision, the effect may still be considered reasonably foreseeable. Regulation 18701 states that a financial effect need not be "likely" to be considered "reasonably foreseeable" for purposes of the FPPC's regulations. If the financial effect can be "recognized as a realistic possibility" and if the effect is "more than hypothetical or theoretical," if will be considered reasonably foreseeable. Regulation 18701 (b). The financial effect will not be considered reasonably foreseeable if the "the financial result cannot be expected absent extraordinary circumstances" that are not subject to the official's control. The FPPC also provides the following list of non-exclusive factors that should be considered when determining whether a governmental decision will have a reasonably foreseeable effect on a financial interest that is not explicitly involved in the decision: The extent to which the occurrence of the financial effect is contingent upon intervening events, not including future governmental decisions by the official's agency, or any other agency appointed by or subject to the budgetary control of the official's agency. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 8 © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations • Whether the public official should anticipate ❑ financial effect on his or her financial interest as a potential outcome under normal circumstances when using appropriate due diligence and care. Whether the public official has ❑ financial interest that is of the type that would typically be affected by the terms of the governmental decision or whether the governmental decision is of the type that would be expected to have ❑ financial effect on businesses and individuals similarly situated to those businesses and individuals in which the public official has a financial interest. = Whether a reasonable inference can be made that the Financial effects of the governmental decision on the public official's financial interest might compromise a public official's ability to act in a manner consistent with his or her duty to act in the best interests of the public. • Whether the governmental decision will provide or deny an opportunity, or create an advantage or disadvantage for one of the official's financial interests, including whether the financial interest may be entitled to compete or be eligible for a benefit resulting from the decision. Whether the public official has the type of financial interest that would cause a similarly situated person to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the governmental decision on his or her financial interest in formulating a position, Possession of a real estate, brokerage license, or other professional license does not automatically constitute a reasonably foreseeable effect on the official's financial interest. Regulation 18701.1. The official's likely business activity must be considered to determine whether the governmental decision will have a reasonably foreseeable effect on one of the official's financial interests. If it is not reasonably foreseeable that the governmental decision will have a financial effect on any of the official's financial interests, there is no conflict under the Act. If it is determined that it is reasonably foreseeable that the governmental decision will have ❑ financial effect, however, the official must determine whether the effect is material. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 9 rJ 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations STEP FOUR: WILL THE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE EFFECT BE MATERIAL? Determine whether the reasonably foreseeable financial effect will be material. If the effect is "nominal, inconsequential, or insignificant," the financial effect will not be considered material. Regulation 18702(b). Otherwise, however, the provisions in Regulations 18702.1 through 18702.5 determine - for each type of financial interest - whether the effect is material. Regulation 18702(a). o. Business Entities Regulation 18702.1 provides that the reasonably foreseeable effect of ❑ decision on a business entity in which the official has an investment interest or holds an employment or management position is material whenever the business entity: • Initiates the proceeding in which the governmental decision will be made by filing an application, claim, appeal, or request for other government action concerning the business entity: • Offers to make a sale of ❑ service or a product to the official's agency; • Bids on or enters into a written contract with the official's agency; Is the named manufacturer in a purchase order of any product purchased by the official's agency or the sales provider of any products to the official's agency that aggregates to $1,000 or more in any 12- month period, - Applies for a permit, license, grant, tax credit, exception, variance, or other entitlement that the official's agency is authorized to issue; Is the subject of any inspection, action, or proceeding subject to the regulatory authority of the official's agency; or • Is otherwise subject to an action taken by the official's agency, the effect of which is directed solely at the business entity in which the official has an interest. For government decisions that are not specifically identified in the list above, the financial effect is material if if falls under the catch-all provision, In those instances, the effect is material if "a prudent person with sufficient information would find it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision's financial effect would contribute to a change in the price of the business entity's publicly traded stock, or the value of a Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 10 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and privately -held business entity."

Regulation 18702.1(b) includes a list of examples of these types of decisions, including when an agency makes a decision to: • Authorize, prohibit, regulate or otherwise establish conditions for an activity in which the business entity is engaged; Increase or decrease the amount of competition in the field in which the business entity is engaged; ■ Increase or decrease the need for the products or services that the business entity supplies; • Make improvements in the surrounding neighborhood such as redevelopment projects, traffic/road improvements, or parking changes that may affect, either temporarily or permanently, the amount of business the business entity receives; • Decide the location of a major development, entertainment facility, or other project that would increase or decrease the amount of business the entity draws from the location of the project; or • Increase or decrease the tax burden, debt, or financial or legal liability of the business entity. These materiality standards replace the previous materiality standards that determined materiality based on the size and type of the business entity. b. Real Pro P e - Modified "500-Foot Rule" and Other Criteria The new regulatory scheme largely replaces the traditional "500-foot" rule with an extensive list of criteria that must be analyzed to determine whether a decision will have a material financial effect on an official's real property interest.16 Regulation 18702.2. There are now eight materiality standards that must be evaluated when an official has an ownership interest in real property, and four materiality standards that must be evaluated when an official has ❑ leasehold interest in real property (i.e., as the lessee of the property). Regulation 18702.2 now provides that the reasonably foreseeable financial effect of a governmental decision on an official's real property economic interest, other than a leasehold interest, is material whenever the governmental decision: ■ Involves the adoption of or amendment to a development plan or criteria applying to the parcel; ly Recent amendments to Regulation 18702.2 were adopted by the FPPC on January 17. 2019, and the analysis in this section of the Handbook reflects these changes. The updated regulations will not take effect until they are reviewed by the Office of Administrative Low and the California Secretary of State. The FPPC website currently indicates that revised Regulation 18702.2 will become effective on March 22, 2019. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 11 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulafions • Determines the parcel's zoning or rezoning, other than a zoning decision applicable to all properties designated in that category; annexation or de -annexation; inclusion in or exclusion from any city, county, district, or local government subdivision or other boundaries, other than elective district boundaries, • Would impose, repeal, or modify any taxes, fees, or assessments that apply to the parcel; ■ Authorizes the sale, purchase, or lease of the parcel; • Involves the issuance, denial or revocation of a license, permit or other land use entitlement authorizing a specific use of or improvement to the parcel or any variance that changes the permitted use of, or restrictions placed on, that real property; • Involves construction of, or improvements to, streets, water, sewer, storm drainage or similar facilities, and the parcel will receive new or improved services that provide a benefit or detriment disproportionate to other properties receiving the services; Involves property located 500 feet or less from the property line of the parcel unless there is clear and convincing evidence that the decision will not have any measurable impact on the official's property; or • involves property located more than 500 feet but less than 1,000 feet from the property line of the parcel, and the decision would change the parcel's: r Development potential; f Income producing potential; Highest and best use; Character by substantially altering traffic levels, intensity of use, parking, view, privacy, noise levels, or air quality; or Market value. Regulation 18702.2(b) clarifies that the financial effect of a governmental decision on a parcel of real property in which on official has an ownership interest is presumed not to be material whenever the governmental decision involves property located 1,000 feet or more from the property line of the official's property. This presumption may be rebutted, however, with clear and convincing evidence that the governmental decision would have ❑ substantial effect on the official's property. The FPPC has relaxed the rules with respect to real property economic interests that stem from having an ownership interest in the common area of a common interest Summary of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regubtions Page 12 O 2019 Richards, Walson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations development. Previously, in addition to evaluating whether the decision concerned a project located within 500 feet of the public official's real property, it was necessary to evaluate whether the decision was within 500 feet of any homeowner association common area in which the official had an ownership interest. Now, Regulation 18702.2 excludes common areas in common interest developments from the definition of "real property" for the purpose of conducting a conflict of interest analysis. Thus, the proximity of homeowner association common areas to a project is no longer a factor in the conflict of interest analysis. With respect to an official's leasehold interests, i.e., where the official is the lessee of the property, Regulation 18702.2('c) now provides that the reasonably foreseeable financial effect of a governmental decision on an official's real property economic interest is material only if the governmental decision will; ■ Change the termination date of the lease; ■ Increase or decrease the potential rental value of the property, Change the official's actual or legally allowable use of the property; or Impact the official's use and enjoyment of the property. There are a few exceptions in Regulation 18702.2(d) by which the effect of a decision on an official's real property interest will not be considered material. The following decisions will not be considered to have a material effect on an official's real property interest: • The decision solely concerns repairs, replacement or maintenance of existing streets, water, sewer, storm drainage or similar facilities. ■ The decision solely concerns the adoption or amendment of a general plan and all of the following apply: The decision only identifies planning objectives or is otherwise exclusively one of policy. A decision will not qualify under this subdivision if the decision is initiated by the public official, by a person that is a financial interest to the public official, or by a person representing either the public official or a financial interest to the public official. The decision requires a further decision or decisions by the public official's agency before implementing the planning or policy objectives, such as permitting, licensing, rezoning, or the approval of or change to a zoning variance, land use ordinance, or specific plan or its equivalent. The decision does not concern an identifiable parcel or parcels or development project. A decision does not "concern an identifiable parcel or parcels" solely because, in the proceeding before the Surrimory of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 13 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 5umMary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations agency in which the decision is made, the parcel or parcels are merely included in an area depicted on a map or diagram offered In connection with the decision, provided that the map or diagram depicts all parcels located within the agency's jurisdiction and the economic interests of the official are not singled out. The decision does not concern the agency's prior, concurrent, or subsequent approval of, or change to, a permit, license, zoning designation, zoning variance, land use ordinance, or specific plan or its equivalent. These rules replace the old "500-foot rule" that applied before 2014. Of special interest to many local public officials, these provisions appear to allow public officials to participate in most decisions relating to slurry sealing, asphalt paving, curb and sidewalk repairs, or tree replacement, even if the work occurs within 500 feet of their property, due to the exception for repairs and replacement of existing infrastructure. C. Sources of Income The FPPC regulations also provide materiality standards for sources of income. Regulation 18702.3. A "source of income," as discussed above, is any person from whom a public official has received at least $500 in the twelve months prior to the relevant governmental decision. Regulation 18700.1. A "person" includes individuals, organizations, and business entities. § 82047. The regulations provide that any reasonably foreseeable financial effect on an individual, organization, or business entity that is a source of income to an official is deemed material if the public official receives or is promised the income to achieve a goal or purpose that would be achieved, defeated, aided, or hindered by the governmental decision. Regulation 18702.3(c). This is known as the "Nexus" test. In addition to this general standard, the regulations provide further guidance that separately analyzes ❑ source of income depending on whether the income comes from the sale of goods or services or from the sale of personal or real property. Regulation 18702.3. If the income is received from the sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of business, a financial effect on a source of income is material if: ■ The source is a claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding: ■ The source is an individual that will be financially affected under the standards applied to an official in Regulation 18702.5 (see Personal Finances below), or the official knows or has reason to know that the individual has an interest in a business entity or real property that will be financially affected under the standards applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.1 or 18702.2, respectively; Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 14 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Confticts of Interest tows and Regulations The source is a nonprofit that will receive a measurable financial benefit or loss, or the official knows or has reason to know that the nonprofit has an interest in real property that will be financially affected under the standards applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.2 (see Real Property - Modified "500-Foot Rule" and Other Criteria above); or The source is a business entity that will be financially affected under the standards as applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.1 (see Business Entities above) . Regulation 18702.3(a). If the source of income is the "claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or ... otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding," the financial effect will be deemed material, regardless of whether the source of income is an individual, ❑ nonprofit, or a business entity. If the source of income is not the "claimant, applicant. respondent, contracting party, or ... otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding," the official will need to apply the other standards in Regulation 18702.3(a) (2) - (4), depending on whether the source of income is an individual, a nonprofit, or a business entity. If the income is from the sale of personal or real property belonging to either the official or the official's spouse, if the property is community property, the materiality of the financial effect will be determined as follows: ... the financial effect of the decision is material if the official knows or has reason to know that the source of income is a claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or is otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding, or has an interest in any business entity or real property that will be financially affected under the standards applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.1 or 18702.2. Regulation 18742.3(b). The regulation also includes additional provisions to help officials who receive income from retail sales of ❑ business entity in determining when a retail customer becomes a source of income. This new regulatory provision, which is intended to replace prior Regulation 18707.5, states: (d) Exception - Income from Retail Sakes of a Business Entity: For purposes of applying the exception under Section 87103.5, the retail customers of a business entity constitute a significant segment of the public generally if the business is open to the public and the customers comprise a broad base of persons representative of the jurisdiction as a whole and not confined to any specialized interest. Income from on individual customer is not distinguishable from the amount of income received from other customers when the official is unable to recognize ❑ significant monetary difference between the business provided by the individual customer and the general clientele of the business. An official is unable to recognize a significant monetary difference when either: Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 15 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest taws and Regulations (1) The business is of the type that soles to any one customer will not have a significant impact on the business' annual net sales; or (2) The business has no records that distinguish customers by amount of sales, and the official has no other information that the customer provides significantly more income to the business than an average customer. Regulation 18702.3(d). If you own 10 percent or more of a business entity that is engaged in the retail sale of goods or services, we recommend that you review this provision in order to determine whether individual retail customers will be considered sources of income to you for the purpose of analyzing conflicts under the Act. d. Sources of Gifts The FPPC regulations also provide materiality standards for sources of gifts. Regulation 18702.4. For the purpose of analyzing potential conflicts under the Political Reform Act, a donor becomes a "source of gifts" by providing a public official with gifts valued at $500 or more in the aggregate in the 12 months prior to a governmental decision. Regulations 18700(c) (6) (E), 18940.2. A person may also be a source of a gift by being an "intermediary or agent for a donor of" a similar gift. Regulation 18700(c) (6){E). Under the FPPC regulations, a financial effect on a source of a gift is material if: ■ The source is a claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding; ■ The source is an individual that will be financial€y affected under the standards applied to an official in Regulation 18702.5 (see Personal Finances below), or the official knows or has reason to know that the individual has an interest in a business entity or real property that will be financially affected under the standards applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.1 or 18702.2, respectively; • The source is a nonprofit that will receive a measurable financial benefit or loss, or the official knows or has reason to know that the nonprofit has an interest in real property that will be financially affected under the standards applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.2 (see Real Property - Modified "500-Foot Rule" and Other Criteria above); or • The source is a business entity that will be financially affected under the standards as applied to a financial interest in Regulation 18702.1 (see Business Entities above). Regulation 18702.4. Like with sources of income, the analysis of materiality for sources of gifts may depend on whether the source is an individual, a nonprofit, or a business entity. If the source of a gift is the "claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or ... otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding," the financial Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest taws and Regulations Page 16 Q 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations effect will be deemed material. regardless of whether the source is an individual, a nonprofit, or a business entity. If the source of a gift is not the "claimant, applicant, respondent, contracting party, or ... otherwise named or identified as the subject of the proceeding," the official will need to apply the other standards in Regulation 18702.4(b) - (d), depending on whether the source of income is an individual, a nonprofit, or a business entity. e. Personal Finances Finally, the regulations provide materiality standards for effects on personal finances. Regulation 18702.5. A reasonably foreseeable financial effect on an official's or his or her immediate family's personal finances is considered material if the official or the official's immediate family member will receive a measurable financial benefit or loss from the decision. Regulation 18702.5. The following are not considered to be a material financial effect under Government Code Section 87103: 1 j Any establishment of or change to benefits provided under on employment or retirement policy for employees or retirees if the financial effect of the decision applies equally to all employees in the same bargaining unit or other representative group. 2) Payment of any travel expenses, to the extent allowed by law, incurred while attending meetings as an authorized representative of an agency. 3) Stipends received for attendance at meetings of any group or body created by law or formed by the official's agency for a special purpose, so long as the selecting body posts on its website on a form provided by the Commission that includes: a list of each appointed position eligible for a stipend, the amount of the stipend for each position, the name of the public official who has been appointed to the position, the name of the public official, if any, who has been appointed as an alternate, and the term of the position, 4) The use of any government property, such as automobiles or other modes of transportation, mobile communication devices, or other agency provided equipment for carrying out the official duties of a position, including any nominal, incidental, negligible, or inconsequential personal use while on duty. 5) Any personal reward received by the official when using a personal charge card or membership rewards program, s❑ long as the reward is no different from the reward offered to the public and is limited to charges made solely for the official's approved travel expenses. 6) A decision to fill a position on the body of which the official is a member Regulation 18702.5(b). Any effect on the interests noted above would not constitute a material effect on personal finances for the purpose of the Political Reform Act. Summary of Principai Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 17 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements at Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Regulation 18702.5 clarifies that if ❑ decision only affects a business entity or real property in which the official has a financial interest, the regulation regarding personal finances does not apply. Regulation 18702.5{c). Under those circumstances, the official should analyze the applicable materiality standards for those types of interests in Regulations 18702,1 and 18702.2 to determine whether a conflict exists. STEP FIVE: DOES THE "PUBLIC GENERALLY" EXCEPTION APPLY? Determine if the official can demonstrate that the material financial effect on the official's interest is indistinguishable from the decision's effect on the public generally. Once it is determined that it is reasonably foreseeable that a decision will have a material financial effect on an official's financial interest, it is necessary to evaluate whether an exception to the disqualification requirement is applicable. One exception, known as the "public generally" exception, provides that even if a governmental decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material financial effect on the official's financial interest, disqualification will not be required if the effect an the public official's financial interest is indistinguishable from the decision's effect on the financial interests of the public generally. Regulation 18703. In order to use this exception, the official must be able to demonstrate two core elements. First, the governmental decision must affect a "significant segment" of the public in the jurisdiction of the public agency. Second, the governmental decision's effect on the official's financial interest must not be unique as compared to the effect on the significant segment. Regulation 18703. The FPPC has simplified the regulation to determine what constitutes a sufficiently "significant segment" of the public. Regulation 18703(b). A significant segment of the public is "at least 25 percent of" any of the following: ■ All businesses or non-profit entities within the official's jurisdiction: • All real property, commercial real property, or residential real property within the official's jurisdiction: or ■ All individuals within the official's jurisdiction. Regulation 18703(b). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 18 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations To determine whether a decision's effect on the official's financial interest is "unique" as compared to the effect on the significant segment of the public, the FPPC requires that an official determine whether the decision has a "disproportionate" effect on: ■ The development potential or use of the official's real property or on the income producing potential of the official's real property or business entity. ■ An official's business entity or real property resulting from the proximity of a project that is the subject of a decision. An official's interests in business entities or real properties resulting from the cumulative effect of the official's multiple interests" in similar entities or properties that is substantially greater than the effect on a single interest. ■ An official's interest in a business entity or real property resulting from the official's substantially greater business volume or larger real property size when a decision affects all interests by the some or similar rate or percentage. • A person's income, investments, assets or liabilities, or real property if the person is a source of income or gifts to the official. • An official's personal finances or those of his or her immediate family. Regulation 18703(c). The official's "jurisdiction" for the purposes of this regulation constitutes the "jurisdiction of the state or local government agency as defined in Section 82035, or the designated geographical area the official was elected to represent, or the area to which the official's authority and duties are limited if not elected." Regulation 18703(d). Real property is considered to be within a "jurisdiction" if the "property or any part of it is located within or not more than two miles outside the boundaries of the jurisdiction or within two miles of any land owned or used by the local government agency." § 82035. The FPPC Regulations include a number of specialized "public generally" exceptions. Regulation 18703(e). The financial effect on an official's financial interest is deemed indistinguishable from that of the public generally if the official establishes: The decision establishes or adjusts assessments, taxes, fees, or rates for water, utility, or other broadly provided public services or facilities that are applied equally, proportionally, or by the same percentage to the official's interest and other businesses, properties, or individuals subject to the assessment, tax, fee, or rate. ownership or only two residential properties apparently would not constitute "multiple interests ... in properties that is substantially greater than the effect on a single interest." Wagner Advice Letter, FPPC No. A-15-227, 2015 WL 9680333 (2015). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 19 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest taws and Regulations ■ The decision affects the official's personal finances as a result of an increase or decrease to a general fee or charge, such as parking rates, permits, license fees, application fees, or any general fee that applies to the entire jurisdiction. • The decision affects residential real property limited to a specific location, and the decision establishes, amends, or eliminates ordinances that restrict on -street parking, impose traffic controls, deter vagrancy, reduce nuisance or improve public safety, provided the body making the decision gathers sufficient evidence to support the need for the action at the specific location. • The decision affects all renters of residential property within the official's jurisdiction and only interests resulting from the official's leasehold interest in his or her residence are affected. • The decision is made by a board or commission and the law that establishes the board or commission requires certain appointees have a representative interest in a particular industry, trade, or profession or other identified interest, and the public official is an appointed member representing that interest. This provision applies only if the effect is on the industry, trade, or profession or other identified interest represented and there is no unique effect on the official's interest. ■ The decision is made pursuant to an official proclamation of a state of emergency when required to mitigate against the effects directly arising out of the emergency and there is no unique effect on the official's interest. + The decision affects a federal, state, or local governmental entity in which the official has an interest and there is no unique effect on the official's interest. Regulation 18703(e). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lows and Regulations Page 20 © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations STEP SIX: MAY THE OFFICIAL MAKE OR PARTICIPATE IN MAKING A DECISION? Determine whether the public official will be making, participating in the making, or using or attempting to use hislher official position to influence a governmental decision. The Act applies when a public official is "making, participating in making, or using or attempting to use his/her official position to influence a governmental decision." Regulation 18704. If the official will be called upon to make, participate in making, or use his or her official position to influence a governmental decision in which the official has a financial interest, the official will have a prohibited conflict of interest, The FPPC regulations define each of these actions for purposes of applying the Act: ■ A public official "makes" a governmental decision when the official authorizes or directs any action, votes, appoints a person, obligates or commits his or her agency to any course of action, or enters into any contractual agreement on behalf of his or her agency. Regulation 18704(a)." • A public official "participates in" ❑ governmental decision when the official provides information, an opinion, or a recommendation for the purpose of affecting the decision without significant intervening substantive review. Regulation 18704(b). • A public official "uses his or her official position to influence" a decision if the official: (i) contacts or appears before any official in his or her agency or in an agency subject to the authority or budgetary control of his or her agency for the purpose of affecting a decision; or (ii) contacts or appears before any official in any other government agency for the purpose of affecting a decision, and the public official acts or purports to act within his or her authority or on behalf of his or her agency in making the contact. Regulation 18704(c), There are limited exceptions to this rule. A public official is not making, participating in making, or influencing a government decision when the official acts in a solely ministerial, secretarial, or clerical manner. Regulation 18704(d) (1). 'I A public official's "determination not to act" does not constitute participating in "making'' a governmental decision when the public official is abstaining from a decision due to a personal financial interesi. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 21 CO 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations In addition, an official is not making, participating in making, or influencing a government decision when the official appears before the public agency as ❑ member of the general public to represent specific and limited "personal interests" or when the official negotiates his or her compensation or terms of employment. Regulation 18704(d). With respect to negotiating the terms of employment, however. "an official may not make a decision to appoint, hire, fire, promote, demote, or suspend without pay or take disciplinary action with financial sanction against the official or his or her immediate family, or set a salary for the official or his or her immediate family different from salaries paid to other employees of the government agency in the same job classification or position," Regulation 18704(d) (3). Making, participating in, or influencing a governmental decision also does not include communications to either the press or the general public. Regulation 18704(d) (4), Nor does it include academic decisions. Regulation 18704(d) (5). Limited actions in an official's professional capacity as an architect or engineer also are not considered to be making, participating in, or influencing a governmental decision. Regulation 18705(d)(6). Finally, an official who serves as a consultant will not be participating in a decision by making a recommendation regarding additional services if the agency has already contracted with the consultant - for an agreed upon price - to make recommendations concerning services of the type offered by the consultant. Regulation 18704(d) (7) . STEP SEVEN: IS THE PUBLIC OFFICIAL'S PARTICIPATION LEGALLY REQUIRED? Determine if the public official's participation is legally required despite a conflict of interest, A public official also is permitted to participate in making a governmental decision, despite having a conflict of interest in the decision, if no alternative source of decision exists that would be consistent with the purposes and terms of the statute authorizing the decision. Regulation 18700(e), 18705(a). This exception is applied when a quorum of a legislative body cannot be convened due to the disqualifying conflicts of interests of its members. In that situation, as many members as are needed to create the minimum number for the quorum may be selected at random to participate. In these situations, stringent disclosure requirements apply, not only regarding the basis of the selected member's conflict of interest, but also the reason why there is no alternative source of decision -making authority. Regulation 18705(b). For the purposes of this section, a "quorum" means "the minimum number of members required to conduct business and when the vote of ❑ Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 22 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations supermajority is required to adopt an item, the "quorum" shall be that minimum number of members needed for that adoption." Regulation 18705(d). Note that this rule is construed narrowly and may not be invoked to permit an official who is otherwise disqualified to vote to break a tie or to vote if a quorum can be convened of other members of the agency who are not disqualified, whether or not such other members are actually present at the time of the decision. Regulation 18705(c). 4. Abstention When a public official has a conflict of interest under the Act, he or she is required to abstain from making, participating in making, or using or attempting to use his or her official position to influence the local agency's decision. Abstention avoids a violation of the conflict of interest provisions of the Act. The Act establishes specific procedures that most public officials must follow when they have a conflict of interest and are required to abstain from a decision. § 87105; Regulation 18707. Immediately prior to the consideration of the matter, the official must: (i) identify each financial interest that gives rise to the conflict in detail sufficient to be understood by the public (except that disclosure of the exact street address of a residence is not required); (ii) publicly state his or her recusal from the matter; and (Ji) leave the room until after the disposition of the matter unless the matter appears on a consent calendar, or other similar portion of an agenda for uncontested matters, or the official is speaking as a member of the public regarding an applicable personal interest. § 87105, Regulations 18707, 18704(d) (2). The FPPC recently clarified the procedure required and precise information that must be disclosed, as described in new Regulation 18707. This includes additional information regarding rules for closed sessions and matters on the consent calendar. The procedure stated in Regulation 18707(a) must be followed by all council members, judges, elected state officers, members of planning commissions, members of boards of supervisors, district attorneys, county counsels, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers and other public officials who manage public investments, and to candidates for any of these offices at any election. §§ 87105, 87200. The Act does not require other public officials who must file financial disclosure forms under local conflict of interest codes to follow the some procedure, but the FPPC has now prescribed specific rules for those public officials. Regulation 18707(b). Depending on the nature of his or her interest, a public official who must abstain from a decision may comment on the item as a member of the public during the public comment period on a matter related to his or her "personal interests." The term "personal interest" is defined to include an interest in real property or ❑ business entity that is wholly owned by the official or his or her immediate family. Regulations 18704(d) (2) (A) and (B). It also includes business entities over which the official, or the official and his or her immediate family, exercise sole direction and control. Regulation 18704(d)(2)(C). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 23 m 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principol Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations If a public official wishes to speak on a matter related to his or her "personal Interests," the official must publicly identify the financial interest (including all of the specific details required by the regulation). Regulation 18707(o) (1) (A), The public identification must be made orally and be included in the official public record. Regulation 18707(a) (1) (B). Subsequently, the official must recuse himself or herself and leave the dais to speak from the some area as the members of the public. Regulation 18707(a) (3) (C). Like other members of the public, the official may listen to the comments of other speakers ❑n the matter, Regulation 18704(a) (3) (C) . Note that when a public official abstains from a decision, his or her presence does not count toward achieving a quorum. Regulation 18707. Accordingly, if several officials must abstain from a decision under the Political Reform Act, there may not be sufficient members of the body present to consider a matter under the Brown Act. In such a circumstance, it may be possible to use the exception for legally required participation, as discussed above. 5. Penalties for Violation Administrative, civil, and criminal penalties exist for violations of the conflict of interest provisions of the Act. The FPPC may levy administrative penalties after a hearing and may impose a fine of up to $5,000 per violation, a cease and desist order, and an order to file reports. § 83116. The FPPC recently adopted regulations providing for streamlined administrative enforcement procedures and specific penalties for various types of violations.19 Regulations 18360.1, 18360.2. Civil penalties include injunctive relief that may be sought by the district attorney or any person residing in the jurisdiction. § 91003. In the event a court finds that the actions would not have been taken but for the action of the official with the conflict of interest, the court is empowered to void the decision. § 91003. Misdemeanor criminal penalties are provided in situations where a knowing or willful violation of the act occurs, and generally. persons convicted of violating the Act may not be a candidate for elective office or act as a lobbyist for four years after the conviction. §§ 91000, 91002. The statute of limitations for civil and criminal enforcement actions is four years from the date of the violation. §§ 91000(c). 9 1011 (b). The statute of limitations for administrative actions brought by the FPPC is five years from the date of the violation. § 91000.5. 6. Seeking Advice on Conflict of Interest Questions It is important to note that only a formal advice letter from the FPPC staff can immunize a public official from potential enforcement by the FPPC or the District Attorney in the event the public official participates in a decision and someone subsequently alleges the public official had a prohibited conflict of interest. A formal advice letter usually takes the FPPC staff at least a month to prepare, is only provided it the request relates to prospective acts (as distinguished from past acts), and if it contains sufficient facts upon which the FPPC is able to render a decision. Informal written advice (without " These regulations were adopted by the FPPC on January 17. 2019. but they will not take effect until they are reviewed by the Office of Administrative Law and the California Secretary of State. At this time. the FPPC has not yet indicated when these Changes will became effective. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 24 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provislons and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations immunity from potential enforcement action) may also be requested from the FPPC staff as well as informal telephonic advice through their technical assistance division at 1 866 ASK FPPC (1 866 275 3772). Based on the time frames required to obtain formal or informal written advice from the FPPC, it is important for public officials to consult their city attorney or local agency counsel as early as possible so as to provide adequate time to gather all relevant facts, draft a letter to the FPPC, and respond to the advice once given. B. Government Code Section 1090 Government Code Section 1090 provides in relevant part: "[m]embers of the Legislature, state, county, district, judicial district, and city officers or employees shall not be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members." The purpose of the prohibition contained in Section 1090 is to preclude a public official from using his or her position to obtain business or financial advantage through the approval of contracts by the public entities which he or she serves. As more fully explained below, the prohibition applies to not only preclude ❑ member of the body or board that approves the contract from directly contracting with that some public entity, but it also applies when the public official has a financial or other specified relationship to the entity that seeks to contract with the public entity. The intent of the law is to remove the possibility of any personal influence that might bear on an official's decision -making activities on contracts executed by his or her public entity. Upon the enactment of the Act in 1974, questions arose as to whether that new law impliedly repealed or preempted the provisions of Section 1090. The California Attorney General addressed this issue first, concluding in a 1976 opinion that the Act did not implicitly repeal or preempt Section 1090. 59 Ops. Cal, Att'y Gen. 604, 671 (1976). Since that time, the courts and the Attorney General have consistently considered Section 1090 as having continuing effect. For example, in People v. Honig, 48 Cal. App. 4th 289, 328-29 (1996), the defendant in a criminal case for violations of Section 1090 argued that the Act superseded Section 1090. The California Court of Appeal declined to so rule, holding instead that the term "financially interested" in Section 1090 has a different meaning than the term "material financial effect" in the Act. In another case, the California Court of Appeal again held that the Act and Section 1090 are "two different statutory schemes." City of Vernon v, Central Basin Mun. Wafer Dist., 69 Cal. App. 4th 508, 513 (1999), see also Fraser-Yamor Agency, Inc. v. County of Del Norte, 68 Cal. App, 3d 201 (1977); People v. Vallergo, 67 Cal. App. 3d 847 (1977); City Council v. McKinley. 80 Cal. App. 3d 204 (1978); City of Imperial Beach v. Bailey. 103 Cal. App. 3d 191 (1980); Thomson v. Call, 38 Cal. 3d 633 (1985), Campagno v. City of Sanger, 42 Cal. App. 4th 533 (1996), 67 Cps. Cal. Att'y Gen. 369, 375 (1984); 69 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 102 (1986); 70 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 45, 47 (1987); 73 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 191, 194-95 (1990). Both the Act and the common law (meaning court -made) doctrine against conflicts of interest require the public official with a conflict of interest to abstain from participation in the decision. Section 1090, by contrast, also prohibits the public entity from entering Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest laws and Regulations Page 25 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations into a contract in which one of its officers or employees has a financial interest, unless certain exceptions apply. If the conflicted official is a member of a board or commission that executes the contract, he or she is conclusively presumed to be involved in the making of his or her agency's contracts. Thomson v. Call, 38 Cal. 3d at 649. This absolute prohibition applies regardless of whether the contract is found to be fair and equitable or the official abstains from all participation in the decision. Thomson, 38 Cal. 3d at 649-50, Fraser-Yamcr Agency, 68 Cal. App. 3d at 21 1-12; City of Imperial Beach. 103 Cal, App. 3d at 195. The only way a public entity could still enter into such a contract - i.e., in which an official who Is a member of the board or commission that executes the contract has a financial interest - would be if that interest qualifies as a "remote interest" or "non -interest" within the meaning of specified provisions discussed below. I. Three Principal Components of Section 1090 The prohibition contained in Section 1090 involves three principal components: (1) the person subject to the prohibition must be an officer or employee of one of the types of governmental entities listed in Section 1090; (2) the public officer or employee must be "financially interested" in a contract; and (3) the contract must be made by either the public official in his or her official capacity or by the body or board of which the official is a member. o. Officer or Employee of Listed Government Entity The first element is whether the person subject to the prohibition is a member of the Legislature or an officer or employee of the state, ❑ county, a district, a judicial district, or a city. Virtually every officer or employee of a municipality or local governmental district is subject to the prohibition of Section 1090. In recent years, the courts also have concluded that consultants may be considered "employees" for the purpose of civil liability under Section 1090. In 2017, the California Supreme Court held that Section 1090 applies to independent contractors "when they have duties to engage in or advise on public contracting that they are expected to carry out on the government's behalf." People v. Superior Court (Sahlolbei) , 3 Cal. 5th 230 (2017), see also, California Housing Finance Agency v. HanoverlCalifornio Management and Accounting Center, Inc., 148 Cal. App. 4th 682, 691 (2007), see also, Hub City Solid Waste Services, Inc. v. City of Compton, 186 Cal. App. 4th 11 14, 1124- 1125 (2010). Moreover, the courts have held that even private companies may be subject to Section 1090 where the company has the potential to exert considerable influence over the agency's contracting decision. Dads v. Fresno Unified School District, 237 Cal. App. 4th 261 (2015); McGee v. Balfour Beatty Construction, LLC, 247 Cal. App, 4th 235, 261 (2016). As such, we advise that both public agencies and independent contractors carefully evaluate whether their duties and obligations include engaging in or advising on public contracting. If so, their involvement in those contracting decisions must be evaluated for compliance with Section 1090. summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 26 p 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts or Interest Laws and Regulations b. Financial Interest in a Contract The second element of the prohibition is the existence of a direct or indirect financial interest in a contract. The courts have interpreted the term "financially interested" as including any direct interest, such as that involved when a public official enters directly into a contract with the body of which he is a member. Thomson v. Calf, 38 Cal, 3d 633 (1985). The courts have also interpreted "financially interested" as including indirect financial interests in ❑ contract, where, for example, a public official has a business relationship with the entity that would be contracting with the public entity, or when the public official would gain something financially by the making of the contract. Froser- Yamor Agency, 68 Col. App. 3d 201 (1977); Finnegan v. Schroder, 91 Cal. App. 4th 572, 579 (2001). In Thomson v. Call, the California Supreme Court described the breadth of the statute this way: "Section 1090 forbids city officers from being 'financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity, or by any body or board of which they are members.' The proscribed interest certainly includes any direct interest, such as that involved when an officer enters directly into a contract with the body of which he is ❑ member. California courts have also consistently voided such contracts where the public officer was found to have an indirect interest therein. . . . Neither the absence of actual fraud nor the possibility of a 'good faith' mistake on [the officer's] part can affect the conclusion that this contract violates section 1090 and is therefore void." 38 Cal. 3d at 645-46 (citations omitted). in Thomson, a council member sold certain real property to a third party, knowing that the city was negotiating a deal to acquire multiple parcels of property in that area for a public park. The third party then conveyed the council member's property to the city, in an apparent attempt to evade the provisions of Section 1090, The court essentially "unwound" and invalidated the entire transaction based on the council member's interest in the transaction. The court refused to focus on the isolated contract between the city and the third -party that bought the property from the council member, but rather viewed all of the successive contracts as one complex multi -party agreement. The court ordered the council member to disgorge all funds he received in the transaction and ordered that the city retain title to the property. The court noted that this type of severe remedy was necessary to discourage violations of Section 1090. Other decisions have followed this some broad reading of "indirect interests." In People v. Vollerga, the California Court of Appeal summarized court decisions addressing financial interests under Section 1090 as follows: "However devious and winding the chain may be which connects the officer with the forbidden contract, if it can be followed and the connection made, the contract is void." 67 Cal. App. 3d 847, 867 (1977); see also People v. Honig, 48 Cal. App. 4th 289, 315 (1996) (stating the some rule), The scope of indirect interests that could form a "devious and winding chain" back to a public contract is broad, but this reflects the judicial stance of vigilant enforcement of Section 1090. See, e.g., Thomson, 38 Cal. 3d at 652 ("[T]he policy of strict enforcement Summary of Principai Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations Page 27 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations of conflict -of -interest statutes ... provides a strong disincentive for those officers who might be tempted to take personal advantage of their public offices, and it is a bright - line remedy which may be appropriate in many different factual situations."); Berko v. Woodward, 125 Cal. 119, 128 (1899) (noting the need for "strict enforcement" of the conflict of interest statutes). Although Section 1090 traditionally has been interpreted broadly, a California appellate decision warned against an overly broad interpretation of the term "financial interest" for the purpose of Section 1090. See Eden Township Healthcare District v. Sutter Health, 202 Cal. App, 4th 208, 228 (2011). The court acknowledged the general principle that the "defining characteristic of a prohibited financial interest is whether it has the potential to divide an official's loyalfies and compromise the undivided representation of the public interest the official is charged with protecting." Id. at 221. The court concluded that the salaried CEO of a non-profit medical center, who also served on the board of a hospital district, was not financially interested in contracts between the medical center and the hospital district, despite the clear potential effect on his employer. Id. at 222. The court noted that there was "nothing in the record to support the inference that the [agreements] bear any relationship to [the CEO's] continued employment" with the medical center. Id. at 223-224. Moreover, the court noted that there was "no evidence that [the CEO would] derive any financial benefit arising from the" agreements in question. id. at 226. The court stated broadly: In our view, if the contract itself offers no benefit to the official, either directly or indirectly, then the official is not financially interested in the contract and any explicit legislative exemption for such a circumstance would be unnecessarily redundant. Id. at 228, The court distinguished the case of Miller v. City of Martinez, 28 Cal. App. 2d 364 (1938), in which the complaint alleged that a council member had a financial interest in a contract with a company that employed him and in which he also held stock. Id. at 226. The ruling in Eden Township could be construed to suggest that an official is only "financially interested" in a contract that affects the official's compensation or continued employment.20 in light of subsequent FPPC advice letters, however, there is continued uncertainty regarding the application and interpretation of the courts holding in Eden Township.2' As such, we recommend that public officials seek legal assistance whenever a potential Section 1090 conflict arises. In addition to a "financial interest," there must be a contract in order for Section 1090 to apply, as described below. General contract principles apply to this determination and include such arrangements as purchase and service contracts as well as development agreements between a city and a developer (78 Ops, Cal. Atf'y Gen. 230 (1995) ), 82 Z See also, Ansofabehere Advice Letter, FPPC No. A-15-180, 2015 WL 9680325 (20151; Devaney Advice Letter, FPPC NO. A-15-213, 2015 WL 7252462 (20151: but cf.

Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 28 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 126, 129 n.4 (1999)), joint powers agreements (People v. Gnass, 101 Cal. App. 4th 1271, 1301 (2002)), and payments for conference attendance expenses (75 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 20 (1992)). C. A Contract "Made" by the Official or by a Body or Board of which the Official Is ❑ Member The third element necessary for a Section 1090 violation is that the contract has to be "made" either by the official or employee acting in his or her official capacity, or by any body or board of which the official is a member. The "making" of a contract is most commonly implicated by a city council's approval of a simple purchase order as part of the approval of a demand warrant registrar, this is likely to constitute the making of ❑ contract within the scope of Section 1090. The courts have construed the term "made" as encompassing such elements in the formation of a contract as preliminary discussions, negotiations, compromises, reasoning, planning, and drawing of plans or specifications and solicitation for bids. Millbrae Assn for Residential Survival v. City of Millbrae, 262 Cal, App. 2d 222, 237 (1968) . For example, in City Council of San Diego v. McKinley, 80 Cal. App. 3d 204, 212 (1978), a court of appeal found a Section 1090 violation when a city council entered into an agreement with a landscape architectural firm, of which the president, a stockholder, was also a member of the city's parks and recreation board. The board investigated and advised the city council on parks and recreation development issues, and it approved plans for a Japanese garden for which the board member's company ultimately received the development contract. Even though the board member was not a member of the city council, which awarded the contract to his company, the board member's participation in the planning for the garden was sufficient to constitute participation in "making" the contract: "[T]here is ample authority the negotiations, discussions, reasoning, planning, and give and take which go beforehand in the making of a decision to commit oneself must all be deemed to be ❑ part of the making of an agreement in the broad sense. [Citation omitted.] Thus, the final execution of a contract, which is the time when the contract is technically made, is not the only time when ❑ conflict of interest may be presented." 80 Cal. App. 3d at 212. Similarly, in Stigall v. City of Taft, 58 Col. 2d 565, 569-70 (1962), the California Supreme Court held that on impermissible conflict existed in a contract with a plumbing company owned by a council member, even though the council member resigned before the plumbing company's bid was accepted. The court recognized that activities prior to the signing of a contract can be integral to the decision to accept the contract. Id. at 569, see also Campagna v. City of Sanger, 42 Cal. App. 4th 533, 538 (1996). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 29 © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 2. Exceptions to Section 1099 a. "Remote Interest" Exception There are two categories of exceptions to Section 1090. The first, encompassing what are commonly referred to as "remote interests," is set forth in Section 1091. If an official has only a remote interest in a contract, then the local agency may enter into the contract as long as the official abstains from participating in the making of the contract in any way. Although this is not an exhaustive list of the "remote interest" exceptions, a few examples of "remote interest" exceptions include the following: • Remote interest exception for a compensated officer or employee of a nonprofit corporation (Section 1091 (b) (1 )]; ■ Remote interest exception for a person receiving a government salary, per diem, or reimbursement for expenses, even when the contract involves the department of the government entity that employs the board member (Section 1091 (b) (13)), ■ Remote interest exception for a litigation settlement agreement between an officer that is party to litigation involving the body or board of which the officer is a member (Section 1091 (b) (15); and • Remote interest exception for the owner or partner of a firm who serves as an appointed member of an unelected board or commission of the contracting agency if the owner or partner recuses himself or herself from: (1 ) providing any advice to the contracting agency regarding the contract between the firm and the contracting agency; and (2) any participation in reviewing a project that results from that contract (Section 1091 (b) (17)j . The "remote interest" exception applies only if the interest is disclosed to the body that approves the contract, the disclosure is noted in that body's official records, and the official abstains from voting. Further, members with a "remote interest" may not attempt to influence any other member of the body or board of which they are members to enter into the contract. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 30 @ 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lows and Regulations b. "Non -Interest" Exertion The second category of exceptions is found in Section 1091.5. These are called "non - interest" exceptions and apply to a type of interest that is completely exempt from Section 1090 and, if held by the official, does not require abstention. Unlike the "remote interest" exceptions in Section 1091, most of the "non -interest" exceptions listed in Section 1091.5 are available to both board members and employees who are covered by the general prohibition in Section 1090. Although this is not an exhaustive list, examples of some of those exceptions are listed below: ■ Non -interest exception for government salary, per diem, or reimbursement of expenses when the contract does not involve the department of the government entity that employs the officer or employee (Section 1091.5 (a1(9)), Nan -interest exception for government salary to an officer's or employee's spouse when the spouse was employed by the government entity for at least one year prior to the officer's or employee's election or appointment (Section 1091.5 (a)(b)): In Nan -interest exception for a non -compensated officer of a non-profit corporation that supports the functions of the public entity or to which the public entity is required to give particular consideration (Section 1091.5 (a) (8) ): • Non -interest exception for non -salaried members of a non-profit corporation (Section 1091.5 (a) (7)). • Non -interest exception involving the receipt of public services on the some terms as would be provided if the officer were not a member of the governmental body or board (Section 1091.5(a)13)): and 19 Non -interest exception for contracts for public services between a special district and its board members if the special district requires board members to be landowners or representatives of a landowner and the contract is made on the same terms and conditions granted to everyone else. (Section 1091.5(a) (14)). For purposes of the exception, "public services" include the powers and purposes generally provided pursuant to provisions of the Water Code relating to irrigation districts, California wafer districts, water storage districts, or reclamation districts. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 31 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 3. A Contract Made in Violation of Section 1090 is Void and Officials Violating Section 1090 Are Subject to Severe Penalties Finally, if is important to note the extreme consequences of ❑ Section 1090 violation and thus the caution with which persons must act to ensure compliance with this law. A public official who willfully violates any of the provisions of Section 1090 "is punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, or by imprisonment in the state prison, and is forever disqualified from holding any office in this state." § 1097. The civil fines applicable to Section 1090 violations now can be up to the greater of $10,000 or three times the value of the financial benefit received by the defendant for each violation. § 1097.3(a). In addition, a contract made in violation of Section 1090 is void under Section 1092. People ex rel. State v. Drinkhouse, 4 Cal, App. 3d 931, 935 (1970) ("[A] contract in which a public officer is interested is void, rather than voidable as the statute indicates."), As with the Political Reform Act, acting on the advice of counsel is not a defense to a Section 1090 violation, See People v. Chocon, 40 Cal, 4th 558 (2007), Chapman v. Superior Court, 130 Cal. App, 4th 261 (2005). Given these consequences, it is advisable for public officials to be very cautious in deciding whether they may participate in a contracting decision based on the existence of a "non -interest exception," whether they must abstain from those decisions based on the application of a "remote interest" exception, or whether their financial interest lies outside any exception and therefore precludes the public entity from entering into the contract altogether. 4. Aiding and Abetting Section 1090 Violations In 2014, the California Legislature adopted Senate Bill 952, which added a subsection (b) to Government Code Section 1090, which now reads: "An individual shall not aid or abet a Member of the Legislature or a state, county, district, judicial district, or city officer or employee in violating subdivision (a)" of Section 1090. The Legislature added a similar provision to Section 1093 such that a person "shall not aid or abet the Treasurer, Controller, a county or city officer, or their deputy or clerk" in purchasing or selling "warrants, scrip, orders, demands, claims, or other evidences of indebtedness" for personal gain. § 1093. The Legislature also added a penalty for these crimes to Section 1097, which applies when a person "willfully aids or abets an officer or person in violating" Section 1090 or certain other conflict provisions. In light of these new provisions, city officers and employees must be careful to avoid "aiding and abetting" a Government Code Section 1090 violation, 5. Seeking FPPC Advice on Section 1090 In 2013, the State Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 1090, which amended the enforcement provisions applicable to Government Code Section 1090. With the adoption of AB 1090, a person who is subject to the prohibition in Government Code Section 1090 may request advice and/or a formal opinion from the FPPC. § 1097.1(c). Such advice is admissible as evidence of good faith conduct by the requester if the Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 32 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lcws and Regufcrticns requester truthfully disclosed all material facts and relied on the advice or opinion of the FPPC. § 1097.1(c). In addition, the FPPC is now authorized to enforce the prohibition in Government Code Section 1090 through administrative or civil actions. § 1097.1(a). 5. Statute of Limitations for Section 1090 Violations The statute of limitations for bringing a criminal prosecution under Section 1090 is three years from the discovery of the violation. People v. Honig, 48 Cal. App. 4th 289, 304 (fn. 1) (1996), Penal Code §§ 801, 803(c). However, under Government Code Section 1092, a four-year statute of limitations applies to actions brought under Section 1090 to invalidate a contract. This four-year statute of limitations begins to run from the date that the plaintiff has discovered the violation, or in the exercise of reasonable care, should have discovered the violation. A four-year statute of limitations also applies to civil actions brought by the FPPC. § 1097.3(c), C. Common Law Doctrine against Conflicts of Interest The common law doctrine against conflicts of interest constitutes the courts' expression of the public policy against public officials using their official positions for their private benefit, See Terry v. Bender, 143 Cal. App. 2d 198, 206 (1956). This doctrine provides an independent basis for requiring public officials and employees to abstain from participating in matters in which they have a financial interest, Violation of the doctrine can amount to official misconduct and can result in loss of office. Nussbaum v. Weeks, 214 Cal. App. 3d 1589 (1989). By virtue of holding public office, an elected official "is impliedly bound to exercise the powers conferred on him with disinterested skill, zeal, and diligence and primarily for the benefit of the public." Noble v. City of Palo Alto, 89 Cal. App. 47, 51 (1928). An elected official bears a fiduciary duty to exercise the powers of office for the benefit of the public and is not permitted to use those powers for the benefit of a private interest, Id. The common law doctrine against conflicts of interest has been primarily applied to require a public official to abstain from participation in cases where the official's private financial interest may conflict with his or her official duties. 64 Qps. Cal. Att'y Gen. 795, 797 (1981). However, the doctrine also applies when specific circumstances preclude a public official from being a disinterested, unbiased decision maker for a quasi-judicial matter. In one case, a council member who voted to deny permits for a condominium project near his house was deemed to have a common law conflict of interest (i.e., bias) due to his interest in preserving his ocean view and his personal animosity toward the applicants. Clark v. City of Hermosa Beach, 48 Cal, App. 4th 1 152 (1996). However, a more recent court decision creates some uncertainty as to whether the common law doctrine should be applied when statutory conflict of interest laws already address the particular situation. In BreakZone Billiards v. City of Torrance, 81 Cal. App. 4th 1205, 1233 (2000), the court declined to construe allegations of an official's bias in a decision to constitute a conflict of interest at common law when the applicable statutes already had been construed not to create a conflict of interest in that situation. In BreakZone, the court indicated, "[w]e continue to be cautious in Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 33 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 of the major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations finding common law conflicts of interest .... We reject the application of the doctrine in this case, assuming, arguendo, It exists." 81 Cal. App. 4th at 1233.

OTHER SPECIALIZED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST LAWS AND REGULATIONS A. Doctrine against Holding Incompatible Offices 1. The Common Law Doctrine against Holding incompatible offices In addition to Government Code Section 1099 (discussed below), a common law doctrine (that is, legal principles established over time by court decisions) applies to prevent public officials from holding multiple public offices simultaneously. The common law doctrine against incompatibility of offices arose from a concern that the public interest would suffer when one person holds two public offices which might possibly come into conflict. The California Supreme Court set forth the following test for Incompatibility of offices in People ex rel. Chapman v. Rapsey, 16 Cal. 2d 636 (1940): "Two offices are said to be incompatible when the holder cannot in every instance discharge the duties of each, Incompatibility arises, therefore, from the nature of the duties of the offices, when there is an inconsistency in the functions of the two, where the functions of the two are inherently inconsistent or repugnant, as where antagonism would result in the attempt by one person to discharge the duties of both offices, or where the nature and duties of the two offices are such as to render it improper from considerations of public policy for one person to retain both." 16 Cal, 2d at 641-42. Incompatibility of offices is not measured only by conflicts which do exist, but also by those conflicts which might arise. Chapman, 16 Cal. 2d 636, 641-42 (1940): 66 Cps. Cal. Att'y Gen. 382, 384 (1983); 64 Cps. Cal. Att'y Gen. 288, 289 (1981). In order to determine whether two positions are in conflict, it is necessary to determine first whether the two positions are both public offices within the scope of the doctrine. No statutory definition is given to the term "public officer." However, in Chapman, the court stated: "[A] public office is said to be the right, authority, and duty, created and conferred by law — the tenure of which is not transient, occasional, or incidental — by which for a given period an individual is invested with power to perform a public function for public benefit .... One of the prime requisites is that the office be created by the Constitution or authorized by some statute. And it is essential that the incumbent be clothed with a part of the sovereignty of the state to be exercised in the interest of the public." 16 Cal. 2d at 640 (citation omitted). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 35 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Incompatibility can be triggered if the duties of the two offices "overlap so that their exercise may require contradictory or inconsistent action, to the detriment of the public interest." People ex rel. Bagshaw v. Thomson, 55 Cal. App. 2d 147, 150 (1942). Only one significant clash of duties and loyalties is required to make offices incompatible. 37 Ops, Cal. Att'y Gen. 21, 22 (1961). The policy set forth in Chapman includes prospective as well as present clashes of duties and loyalties. 63 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 623 (1980). Abstention has not been recognized as a remedy for incompatible offices. The general rule provides: "The existence of devices to avoid . . . [conflicts] neither changes the nature of the potential conflicts nor provides assurances that they would be employed. Accordingly, the ability to abstain when a conflict arises will not excuse the incompatibility or obviate the effects of the doctrine." 66 Ops. Cat. Att'y Gen. 176, 177 (1983) (citation omitted). The effect of the doctrine of incompatibility of offices is that a public official who enters into the duties of a second office is deemed to have automatically vacated the first office if the two are incompatible. Chapman, 16 Cal. 2d at 644. A list of some of the offices that the California Attorney General has found to be incompatible are as follows: County board of supervisors member and community college board member. 78 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 316 (1995). • Fire chief and board of supervisors member. 66 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 176 (1983). Public utility district member and county board of supervisors member. 64 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 137 (1981). Schaal district trustee and council member. 73 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 354 (1990). a School board member and council member. 65 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 606 (1982). • County planning commissioner and council member. 63 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 607 (1980) . • Fire chief and council member. 76 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 38 (1993). • County planning commissioner and city planning commissioner. 66 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 293 (1983). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 36 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts or Interest Laws and Regulations ■ County planning commissioner and county water district director. 64 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 288 (1981). • City planning commissioner and school district board member. 84 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 91 (1997). • City manager and school district board member. 80 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 74(1997). • School district board member and community services district board member. 75 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen 112 f 1992). 2. The Statutory Codification of the Common Law Doctrine of Incompatible Offices - Government Code Section 1099 Government Code Section 1099 is intended to create a statutory rule against holding incompatible offices. This section is not intended to expand or contract the common law rule and is intended to be interpreted based on precedent created through court decisions under the common law doctrine. Stats. 2005, c. 254 (S.B. 274), § 2. Section 1099 provides that a public officer, including but not limited to an appointed or elected member of a governmental board, commission, committee or other body, shall not simultaneously hold two public offices that are incompatible as defined by the statute. Section 1099 provides that offices are incompatible when: • Either of the offices may audit, overrule, remove members of, dismiss employees of, or exercise supervisory powers over the other office or body, • Based on the powers and jurisdiction of the offices, there is a possibility of a significant clash of duties and loyalties between the offices: or • Public policy considerations make it improper for one person to hold both offices. As is the case under the common law doctrine. Section 1099 provides that when two public offices are incompatible, a public officer shall be deemed to have forfeited the first office upon acceding to the second office. However, Section 1099 recognizes that certain state laws or local ordinances may expressly provide for the simultaneous holding of particular offices and that result would not be precluded by Section 1099. Section 1099 does not apply if one of the positions is a mere position of employment rather than a public office. It also does not apply when one of the positions is a member of a legislative body that has only advisory powers. § 1099(c), (d). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 37 &) 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Pnncipal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations B. Incompatible Outside Activities Government Code Section 1 126 (a) provides, in relevant part: 1A] local agency officer or employee shall not engage in any employment, activity, or enterprise for compensation which is inconsistent, incompatible, in conflict with, or inimical to his or her duties as a local agency officer or employee or with the duties, functions, or responsibilities of his or her appointing power or the agency by which he or she is employed...." The provisions of Section 1 126 prohibit officials and employees of a local government agency from engaging in outside employment or activities where any part of the employment or activity will be subject to approval by any other officer, employee, board or commission of the local agency. Exceptions are created to permit a public official to engage in outside employment by ❑ private business, and to permit an attorney employed by a local agency in a non-elecfive position to serve on an appointed or elected governmental board of another agency. § § 1127, 1128. However, the court in Mazzola v. City and County of San Francisco, 112 Cal. App. 3d 141 (1980) ruled that Section 1 126 provides only authorization to implement standards for incompatibility pursuant to paragraph (b) of Section 1 126. The court ruled that the restrictions of Section 1 126 are not self-executing because existing and future employees should have notice that specific outside activities are or are not compatible with their duties as an officer or employee of the local agency. Thus, Section 1126 would not bar a public official from holding a position outside his or her public agency unless the public agency in which he or she serves as a public official adopts an ordinance in compliance with the requirements of Section 1 126 that specifies that the two positions or activities are incompatible. Many cities have not adopted such ordinances. In light of the court's decision in Mazzola, the Attorney General ruled that Section 1 126 did not apply to any elected official, such as a council member, since elected officials do not have an "appointing power" that can promulgate guidelines for their activities pursuant to Section 1126. However, if a local agency adopts such guidelines, they can be made applicable to officers and employees subordinate to the legislative body of the local agency. including members of advisory boards and commissions. § 1 126(a). C. Successor Agency and Oversight Board Conflicts 1. Form 700s for Successor Agency and Oversight Board Members Regarding any city that adopted a resolution establishing a successor agency to the former redevelopment agency as a separate legal entity, an official who already files an annual Form 700 in his or her capacity as a city official does not need to file an Assuming Office Statement ("Assuming Office Form 700") within 30 days of assuming his or her position with the successor agency as long as these same city officials are Summary of Principol Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 38 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations already required to disclose all categories of economic interests. The successor agency official or employee will, however, have to file an Assuming Office Form 700 if he or she is not already required to disclose as a city official all categories of economic interests. With respect to those successor agency officers and employees who do have an obligation to file an Assuming Office Form 700, the 30-day deadline for completing those filings is likely 30 days from the date he or she was appointed rather than 30 days after the officer or employee is sworn in to office or starts to perform duties. This means that if the successor agency was formed as a separate governmental entity, the date that the official was appointed to his or her position would be the date that the successor agency adopted its rules and regulations, established successor agency positions in those rules, and designated specific city officials to Fill those positions. However, if the successor agency appointed certain city officials to those positions at ❑ later point in time, that later date would be the date from which the 30 day period would commence to run. Members of an oversight board are subject to the political Reform Act. This means oversight board members must comply with both the Act's conflict of interest disqualification and disclosure requirements. Oversight board members who do not also hold a concurrent city position need to file an Assuming Office Form 700 within 30 days of their appointment. For example, the appointees of the county, superintendent of schools, and other non -city representatives who do not concurrently hold a city position, should file on Assuming Office Form 700 as an oversight board member with the city clerk. Similarly, if one or both of the mayor's appointees do not concurrently hold a position with the city requiring disclosure of economic interests in all categories, they should file an Assuming Office Form 700 within 30 days of their appointment. However, if a person appointed by the mayor to represent the city on the oversight board or any other appointee to the oversight board concurrently holds a position with the city that is already required to broadly disclose in all categories, these persons would not be required to file an Assuming Office Form 700 under the FPPC staff rationale noted above. 2. Obligation of Successor Agencies to Adopt Conflict of Interest Codes The Act requires that local government agencies must adopt a conflict of interest code. An exception applies for those agencies where all of its officials and employees are already required to file Statements of Economic Interests as city officials. In the case of a successor agency, some members of its oversight board will not be city officials or employees. For example, the county, school district, county superintendent, and community college appointees are most likely not going to be current city officials or employees. Consequently, the successor agency must adopt a conflict of interest code that includes the oversight board. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest laws and Regulations Page 39 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 3. City Councils are the Code Reviewing Bodies for the Successor Agency's Conflict of Interest Code Section 8201 1(c) provides that for "city agencies," the code reviewing body is the city council, The term "city agencies" is not defined in the Act but has been interpreted by the FPPC to mean local government agencies located solely within the boundaries of one city. In the past, the FPPC has interpreted ❑ redevelopment agency as being a "city agency" and the city council as being the code reviewing body for the redevelopment agency. In the case of a successor agency of a former redevelopment agency that operates solely within the boundaries of one city, the successor agency will not have a jurisdictional boundary that extends beyond the boundary of the city. Consequently, the city council of the city in which the former redevelopment agency operated will be the code reviewing body for the successor agency. The city council, as the code reviewing body, is required to review and approve the successor agency's conflict of interest code not later than six months from the date the successor agency came into existence. § 87303. However, we recommend that this step be completed prior to that deadline for reasons mentioned below. Thus, it is appropriate to place the successor agency's conflict of interest code on a city council agenda for approval soon after the successor agency has adopted it. 4. The City Council May Designate the City Clerk as the Filing Officer for the Successor Agency's Statements of Economic Interests The term "filing officer" is defined in the Act to be the office or officer with wham any statement or report is required to be filed under this title. § 82027. In determining where Form 700s are to be filed for officials of ❑ successor agency, the city council, as the code reviewing body, may designafe whether the "agency" (successor agency) or the "code reviewing body" (city council) is to be the entity with which Form 700s are filed. § 87500(p). Once that designation is made, the duty to perform the functions of filing officer must be delegated to an individual in either entity such as the city clerk, pursuant to Regulation 18227. The person designated becomes the "filing officer." Regulation 18227 provides that every entity with whom forms are filed shall assign to a specific official the responsibility for receiving and forwarding reports filed pursuant to Section 87500 (including Form 700s). Once assigned, fhe filing officer has a duty to supply Form 700s, review submitted Form 700s for completeness, and notify all persons who have Failed to file forms and report violations to appropriate agencies. See § 81010, Thus, the city clerk or the successor agency secretary will most likely be the filing officer for the successor agency but such designation will ultimately be determined by the city council when acting as the code reviewing body for the successor agency's conflict of interest code. In the action to approve the successor agency's conflict of interest code, the city council should approve the successor agency's designation of the city clerk or successor agency secretary to be the filing officer for the successor agency's officials. In the meantime, it is appropriate for the city clerk or successor agency Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 40 © 2014 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations secretary to begin performing the duties of the filing official for the successor agency even though such designation will not be finalized until approved by the city council as the code reviewing body. It is recommended that one of the first steps for the city clerk or successor agency secretary to undertake is to make a record of the appointment date for each officer of the successor agency and each member of the oversight board. With respect to those officials of the successor agency and oversight board that are not otherwise exempt from filing Assuming Office Form 700s for their position with the successor agency, city clerks should provide forms to those persons and facilitate the filing of those forms within the 30-day time period required. D. Discount Passes on Common Carriers Article XII, Section 7 of the California Constitution states: "A transportation company may not grant free passes or discounts to anyone holding on office in this state; and the acceptance of ❑ pass or discount by a public officer, other than a Public Utilities Commissioner, shall work a forfeiture of that office. A Public Utilities Commissioner may not hold an official relation to nor have a financial interest in a person or corporation subject to regulation by the commission." The Attorney General has explained this provision applies in the following manner: The prohibition applies to public officers, both elected and non -elected, but not employees. The prohibition applies to interstate and foreign carriers as well as domestic carriers, and to transportation received outside California. The prohibition applies irrespective of whether the pass or discount was provided in connection with personal or public business. Violation of the prohibition is punishable by forfeiture of office. There have only been a few decisions that address this constitutional prohibition. In one opinion, the Attorney General granted leave to sue two members of a city council who accepted free airline tickets to London given by Laker Airlines as part of the aidine's promotion of its new Los Angeles to London service. Despite the fact that the council members were unaware of the prohibition, the Attorney General allowed a quo warranto suit that subsequently settled before judgment, See, e.g., 76 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 1. 3 (1993). In another opinion, the mayor of a city received an upgrade from a coach seat to a first class seat on Hawaiian Airlines. 76 Ops. Cal. Atty. Gen. 1 (1993). There, the mayor's ticket was one of 20 first-class upgraded tickets that the airline was allowed to provide to "high profile, prominent members of the community." At issue was whether that Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 41 © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and situation fit within an exception to the constitutional prohibition for situations when the free transportation or discount is provided to a public officer as a member of a larger group unrelated to the official's position. The Attorney General ruled that the facts did not satisfy the exception and that a violation of the prohibition had occurred. The exception considered in that opinion stemmed out of a 1984 opinion of the Attorney General which held that a public officer could accept first-class ticket upgrades by virtue of the airline's policy to do so for all persons on their honeymoon. In 67 Qps. Cal. Atty. Gen. 81 (19841, the Attorney General concluded that a public officer, whose spouse was a flight attendant, could accept a free transportation pass or discount when such was offered to all spouses of flight attendants without distinction to the official status of the recipient. Consequently, if the pass or discount is provided to the official because of his or her position as a governmental official, the prohibition applies. If it is provided to the official as a member of a larger group that is not related to the functions of his or her office, the prohibition may not be applicable. E. Conflicts upon Leaving Office - the "Revolving Door" Former elected officials and former city managers are restricted from receiving compensation for lobbying their city for one year after they leave public office. This restriction also applies to elected county and district officials and their chief administrative officers or general managers, but not to department directors or other public officials and employees. § 87406.3(a). A violation of the statute constitutes a misdemeanor, and the FPPC is authorized to impose administrative fines and penalties for its violation, § 91000. The type of lobbying subject to the ban includes both formal and informal appearances before a local agency and making any oral or written communication to the agency. The statute proscribes the appearances and communications if they are made to influence administrative or legislative action, or affect the issuance, amendment, awarding or revocation of a permit, license, grant, or contract, or the sale or purchase of goods or property. § 87406.3(a), The term "administrative actions" within the scope of the lobbying ban includes "the proposal, drafting, development, consideration, amendment, enactment, or defeat by any local government agency of any matter, including any rule, regulation, or other action in any regulatory proceeding, whether quasi -legislative or quasi-judicial." However, matters that are "solely ministerial" are expressly excluded from the prohibition. § 87406.3(d) (1 ). The type of "legislative action" within the scope of the ban includes: "the drafting, introduction, modification, enactment, defeat, approval, or veto of any ordinance, amendment, resolution, report, nomination, or other matter by the legislative body of a local government agency or by any committee or subcommittee thereof, or by a member or employee of the legislative body of the local government agency acting in his or her official capacity." Summary of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations Page 42 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations § 87406.3(d) (2). The lobbying ban does not apply to any public official who is appearing or communicating on behalf of another local governing body or public agency of which the individual is a board member, officer or employee. § 87406.3f b) (1) . Therefore, if such former elected city official or former city manager is contacting his or her city on behalf of the state, a county, ❑ school district or some other governmental entity (in his or her capacity as a board member, officer, or employee), such activity is not precluded by the ban. Effective January 1, 2018, however, the lobbying ban does apply for the initial year if the former elected city official or former city manager serves another public agency as an independent contractor and appears or communicates on behalf of that agency in front of the agency that the person originally served. § 87406.3(b) (2). Such activity would be prohibited for the first year after leaving office or employment with the original agency. Some titles have their own preexisting "revolving door" ordinances that regulate the lobbying activities of their former public officials. This state law expressly does not preempt those ordinances or prevent cities from adopting additional ordinances on the subject in the future, provided those ordinances are more restrictive than the state law. § 87406.3(c). Thus, the law merely sets a new minimum standard applicable to all cities. F. Laws Prohibiting Bribery A number of state statutes prohibit bribery of public officials. Specifically, it is illegal to give or offer to give a bribe to a public official, or for a public official to ask for, receive, or agree to receive any bribe. Penal Code §§ 67, 68. Under a strict reading of these statutes, Penal Code Section 68 applies to bribery of a "ministerial officer, employee, or appointee," and Penal Code Section 67 applies only to bribery of an "executive officer in this state," but the courts have interpreted both statutes as having a broad scope applicable to public officials generally. People v. Nallner, 43 Cal. 2d 715, 717 (1954) (observing that Penal Code Section 67, despite its wording, is "all inclusive" and includes city officials, and that "(b]y the sixty-seventh section the offense defined is that of one who offers, by the sixty-eighth, that of one who receives a bribe"), People v. Sfrohl, 57 Cal. App. 3d 347, 360 (1976) ("Numerous California Supreme Court and appellate court decisions since 1954 have held that `executive officers' of various levels of local government, including the county level, as herein involved, come within [Penal Code] Section 67."). The Legislature also expressly made bribery of council members and supervising officials a crime, as well as solicitation of bribes by council members and supervisors. Penal Code § 165. Another statute makes it a crime for anyone to attempt to bribe "any person who may be authorized by law to hear or determine any question or controversy." Penal Code § 92. Considered together, these statutes cover the spectrum of public officials. The term "bribe" signifies anything of value or advantage, present or prospective, or any promise or undertaking to give any, asked, given, or accepted, with a corrupt intent to influence, unlawfully, the person to whom it is given, in his or her action, vote, or opinion, in any public or official capacity. Penal Code § 7(6). Note that under all of the bribery statutes, it is not only the actual giving or accepting of a bribe that is Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 43 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the major Provisions and Requirements of Principal conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations criminal; merely offering to give or receive ❑ bribe constitutes a violation of law. See, e.g., People v. Pic'l (1982) 31 Cal. 3d 731, 739 (noting that a "meeting of the minds" is unnecessary for a bribery conviction). A public officer forfeits his office if he requests, receives, or agrees to receive a bribe. Penal Code § 68. In addition, every officer convicted of any crime defined in the Penal Code sections pertaining to bribery and corruption is forever disqualified from holding any office in the state. Penal Code § 98. Note also that bribery and soliciting bribery potentially violate not only the Penal Code, but also the conflict of interest statutes. For example, in Terry v. Bender, 143 Cal. App. 2d 198 (1956), a court of appeal held that a council member violated Government Code Section 1090 when he solicited and received a bribe from an attorney in exchange for the council member's vote to employ the attorney with the city. 143 Cal. App. 2d at 207 (observing that by accepting the bribe, the council member "had placed himself in a position of economic servitude" in violation of Section 1090). Because the bribe "restricted the free exercise of the discretion vested in him for the public good," there was an impermissible conflict of interest. G. campaign Contributions 1. Conflicts of Interests Arising on Appointed Boards and Commissions The Political Reform Act contains restrictions on the receipt and solicitation of campaign contributions. Under a portion of the Act known as the "Levine Act," a public agency official may not participate in decisions affecting individuals or entities who have given the official more than $250 in campaign contributions within the past 12 months. § 84308. However, a city council is not considered on "agency" for purposes of the statute. § 84308(a) (3). This disqualification therefore does not apply to a council member when participating in a decision of the council. It also does not apply to a council member who sits on the board of another agency of the city if the governing board of that agency is made up entirely of members of the city council when that member is participating in a decision of that agency. Regulation 18438.1 (a) (1 ). However, it does apply to a council member when that person is serving on the board of a joint powers authority. Importantly, this prohibition applies to planning commissioners and other officers of the public entity who are not directly elected by the voters. Thus, planning commissioners must comply with the restrictions in Government Code Section 84308. The Act also classifies campaign contributions differently than other financial interests. As discussed previously, the Act requires that public officials abstain from government decisions in which they have a financial interest, with certain exceptions. § 87100. A public official generally has a proscribed financial interest in a decision if it is reasonably foreseeable that the decision will have a material financial effect on (among other things): (i) a source of income aggregating $500 or more in value during the 12 months prior to the decision, or (ii) a donor of a gift or gifts aggregating $500 or more in value Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 44 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations during the 12 months prior to the decision. § 87103(c), (e); Regulations 18700. 18940.2. Campaign contributions, however, are not considered a "financial interest" for purposes of this disqualification because they are neither "income" nor a "gift" within the meaning of the statute. §§ 82028(b) (4), 82030(b) (1). This disqualification therefore is not triggered as a result of a council member's receipt of a campaign contribution. In other words, council members acting in their capacity as elected council members are not prohibited from acting on ❑ matter which involves someone who has given them a political contribution. Regulation 18438.1(a). For example, the California Supreme Court ruled that Los Angeles City Council members were not disqualified from voting on a subdivision map by reason of receiving campaign contributions from the applicants and their agents. Woodland Hills Residents Assn, Inc. v. City Council, 26 Cai. 3d 938, 945 (1980) ("Plaintiffs' accusation that receipt of a campaign contribution inevitably results in an appearance of bias or prevents a fair hearing is unwarranted."). Similarly, a court of appeal concluded that Torrance City Council members were not disqualified from voting on a conditional use permit application by reason of receiving campaign contributions from a party alleged to be in opposition to the application. Break7one Billiards v. City of Torrance, 81 Cal. App. 4th 1205 (2000) . Receipt of a campaign contribution can, however, disqualify a public official who serves on more than one public body. For example, under the Levine Act, a council member acting on behalf of an agency other than the city must abstain from a license, permit or other use entitlement decision involving an applicant, proponent or opponent who has made a contribution to the councit member's campaign in excess of $250 within the preceding 12 months. The fact of the campaign contribution must also be disclosed prior to the abstention. This disqualification is inapplicable, however, if the campaign contribution is returned within 30 days of receipt. § 84308(c). 2. Application of Federal Corruption Laws to the Offer or Solicitation of Illegal Campaign Contributions Tied to an Official Act Another exception to the general rule that campaign contributions do not preclude an official from voting on a matter affecting a campaign contributor is the application of federal corruption laws to situations where the receipt of illegal, laundered or unreported campaign contributions are tied to an official act. In one case arising out of the City of San Diego, two council members were charged and convicted of wire fraud for conspiring to change the city's ordinance regulating adult -oriented businesses in exchange for campaign contributions from an adult -oriented business that had been illegally "laundered" through contributions made by residents of the city or which had been unreported and which constituted bribes. See United States v. lnzunza, 303 F. Supp. 2d 1041, 1043 (S.D. Cal. 2004) for a list of the charges; the case was referred to in the press as the Son Diego "Strippergate" case. The charges included the alleged use of wire communications in interstate commerce in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy to defraud the public of their intangible right to honest service, in violation of 18 J.S.C. §§ 1951 (the Hobbs Act) and 1952 (Interstate Transportation in Aid of Racketeering). One of those convictions was later overturned. However, the case points out that direct connections between official acts and illegal or unreported Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 45 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal conflicts or Interest Laws and Regulations campaign contributions may result in charges of bribery under California law and ❑ violation of certain federal wire fraud and racketeering laws. 3. Ban on Local Agency Officials and Employees Soliciting Campaign Contributions from Officials and Employees of the Same Agency In an effort to avoid local agency public employees being drawn into local political campaigns or having their positions become the subject of political reward or retribution, California law contains a prohibition on the solicitation of campaign contributions by a local agency official or employee of other officials or employees within the same local agency. Section 3205 prohibits an officer or employee of a local agency from soliciting political contributions from an officer or employee of that some local agency. The prohibition applies to incumbents seeking re-election and to non - incumbent candidates for local agency office. An exception exists for broad general public solicitations to a "significant segment of the public" that also include some local agency officials and employees of that agency. § 3205(c). No definition exists as to what constitutes a significant segment of the public. In the context of conflict of interest provisions in the Political Reform Act, that term is defined to include segments of the local agency population such as ten percent of all residents, and, in the absence of any court interpretation of the law, that standard provides some guidance on what may be a sufficiently broad solicitation to come with the scope of the exception, Violation of the prohibition is punishable as a misdemeanor and may be prosecuted only by the County District Attorney. § 3205(d). 4. Nepotism One other potential source of a conflict of interest is a governmental decision that affects a family member. If a public official's relative has an application before the government agency on which the public official serves, the public official would potentially have an improper incentive to approve the relative's application, Because the financial interests of a public official's spouse and dependent children (children under 18 years of age who are dependent financially on their parents) are attributed to the public official under the Political Reform Act and Section 1090, participation in decisions financially benefiting spouses and dependent children is limited. § § 82030, 87103; Thorpe v. Long Beach Community College Dist„ 83 Cal. App. 4th 655 (2000) (holding that Section 1090 prohibited a community college district board from voting to approve the promotion of the spouse of a board member). if the approval did not require a decision by the legislative body, however, the public entity could still potentially approve an application or make a decision if the related public official did not participate. With respect to adult children and more extended family members, the Political Reform Act and Section 1090 would not automatically apply in the absence of some financial relationship between the public official and the adult child or extended family members.22 Currently, state law only prohibits such "extended family" interests for the governing boards of school districts. Educ. Code § 35107(e). Under that statute, ❑ 22 Davies Advice Letter, No. 1-90-329, 1990 WL 698051 (1990). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 46 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interesf Laws and Regulations school board member must abstain from participating in personnel matters that uniquely affect his or her relative. "Relative" is defined as an adult who is related to the official by blood or affinity within the third degree, or in an adoptive relationship within the third degree, There is no comparable statute for cities and counties. but some local governments have established similar restrictions through ordinances or policies. The issue of familial relations comes up more frequently in the context of personnel decisions, as when a public entity prohibits the hiring of relatives of public officials or employees. Such anti -nepotism policies are generally upheld by the courts. For example, in Parsons v. County of Del Norte, 728 F. 2d 1234 (9th Cir. 1984), the Ninth Circuit upheld a county policy prohibiting spouses from working in the same department. The Ninth Circuit held that the policy did not via{ate the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the U.S. Constitution and was rationally related to a legitimate government interest: avoidance of conflicts of interest and favoritism in employee hiring, supervision and allocation of duties. See also Kimura v. Roberts, 89 Cal. App. 3d 871, 875 (1979) (upholding a policy prohibiting spouses from serving on bath the city council and planning commission, reasoning that "the finding of the mayor and the city council that an actual or implied conflict of interest existed, is eminently rational, practical and legally sound"). Note, however, that state law prohibits the application of anti -nepotism rules to spouses in some circumstances. The Fair Employment and Housing Act prohibits an employer from making an employment decision based on whether an employee or applicant has a spouse presently employed, except in two specific situations: • For business reasons of supervision, safety, security or morale, an employer may refuse to place one spouse under the direct supervision of the other spouse. • For business reasons of supervision, security or morale, an employer may refuse to place both spouses in the same department, division or facility if the work involves potential conflicts of interest or other hazards greater for married couples than for other persons. 2 C.C.R. § 7292.5(a) (emphasis added). Accordingly, any anti -nepotism policy that a city or county adopts must not apply to the hiring of spouses, except in cases of direct supervision, where greater conflicts or hazards occur for married persons, or where a conflict of interest statute applies. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 47 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations III, LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING RECEIPT OF GIFTS, HONORARIA AND LOANS The PRA provisions and other conflict of interest laws discussed above d❑ not prohibit a public official from having an interest in a business or real property. Instead, they merely limit the official's ability to participate in governmental decisions that would materially affect those interests. There are additional restrictions in the PRA, however, with regard to certain gifts, honoraria and loans. The statute precludes local officials (including council members and planning commissioners) from receiving certain gifts, honoraria and loans. These prohibitions apply whether or not the source of the gift, honorarium or loan is or will ever be affected by a decision of the official's agency. This section outlines these prohibitions. A. Limitations on Receipt of Gifts 1. General Gift Limitation Government Code Section 89503(a) provides: "No elected state officer, elected officer of a local government agency, or other individual specified in Section 87200 shall accept gifts from any single source in any calendar year with a total value of more than [$500]." (The gift limit amount has been adjusted in accordance with Regulation 18940.2.) Officials listed in Section 87200, in turn, include mayors, council members, planning commissioners, city managers, city attorneys, city treasurers, chief administrative officers and other public officials who manage public investments, and candidates for any of these offices. A similar limitation prohibits a city employee designated in a local conflict of interest code from accepting gifts from a single source totaling more than $500 in value in any calendar year, if the gifts would be required to be reported on his or her statement of economic interests. § 89503(c). 2. Biennial Gift Limit Adjustment The Act authorizes the FPPC to make an inflationary adjustment of the gift limitations set forth in Section 89503 every two years. § 89503(f). The most recent adjustment became effective on January 1, 2019, wherein the gift limit increased to $500. Regulation 18940.2. This figure will be further adjusted in future odd -numbered years. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 48 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 3.

Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 49 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations g. Home Hospitality The cost of home hospitality is not considered a gift unless any part of the cost is paid directly or reimbursed by another person, any person deducts any part of the cost as a business expense on a tax return, or the host has an understanding with someone else that any amount of compensation the host receives from that person includes a portion to be utilized to provide gifts of hospitality. Regulation 18942(a) (7) . "Home hospitality" is defined as any benefit received by the official, and the officials spouse and family members when accompanying the official, which is provided by an individual with whom the official has a relationship, connection, or association unrelated to the official's position and the hospitality is provided as part of that relationship, connection, or association in the individual's home when the individual is present. Home hospitality includes entertainment, occasional overnight lodging, and any food, including food provided by other guests at the event and benefits received by the official when the official serves as the host. In determining where this exception is available, the official is to presume that the cost of the hospitality is paid by the host unless the host discloses to the official or if is clear from the surrounding circumstances that someone other than the host paid the cost or part of the cost of the hospitality. Regulation 18942.2. A "home" includes a vacation home owned, rented, or [eased by the individual for use as his or her residence, including in some cases a timeshare or a motor home or boat owned, rented, or leased by the individual for use as his or her residence.

Presents on Personal or Family Occasions Benefits commonly exchanged between an official and an individual, other than a lobbyist, on holidays, birthdays, or similar occasions are not gifts as long as the presents exchanged are not substantially disproportionate in value. For purposes of this exception, "benefits commonly exchanged" includes food, entertainment, and nominal benefits provided to guests at an event by an honoree or other individual, other than a lobbyist, hosting the event. Regulation 18942(a) (8) (A). i. Reciprocal Exchanges Reciprocal exchanges made in a social relationship between an official and another individual who is not a lobbyist and with whom the official participates in repeated social events are not gifts where the parties typically rotate payments on a continuing basis so that, over time, each party pays for approximately his or her share of the costs of the continuing activities. The repeated social events may include lunches, dinners, rounds of golf, attendance at entertainment or sporting events, or any other such event so long as the total value of payments received by the official within the year is not substantially disproportionate to the amount paid by the official. If the official receives much more than what he or she paid, the official has received a gift for the excess amount. This exception does not apply to any single payment that is equal to or greater than $500. Regulation 18942(a) (8) (B). Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 50 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulrafions j.

Campaign Travel The payments made to an elected officer or candidate for his or her transportation, lodging, or subsistence provided in direct connection with campaign activities, including attendance at political fundraisers, are exempt from the gift limitations. Payments made during the six-month period prior to an election are considered "in direct connection" with the campaign activities if the payment is for necessary transportation, lodging, or subsistence and used for the officer's or candidate's participation in forums, debates or other speaking events or attendance at campaign strategy meetings with staff or consultants. Beyond this six-month period, the payment is considered a gift unless it is clear from the surrounding circumstances that the payment was made directly in connection with campaign activities.

Regulation 18942(a) (18) (A). t. Acts of Human Compassion Payments provided to an official or his or her family member by an individual to offset family medical or living expenses that the official can no longer meet without private assistance because of an accident, illness, employment loss, death in the family, or Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 52 O 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations other unexpected calamity are not gifts. Payments provided to an official or his or her family member to defray expenses associated with humanitarian efforts such as the adoption of an orphaned child are also not gifts.

Regulation 18942(a) (18) (C) . V. Catch -All Any other payment that would otherwise meet the definition of gift is not a gift where the payment is made by an individual who is not a lobbyist and it is clear that the payment was made because of an existing personal or business relationship unrelated to the official's position. Additionally, there can be no evidence whatsoever at the time the payment is made that the official makes or participates in the type of governmental decisions that may have a foreseeable material financial effect on the individual who is the source of the payment. Regulation 18942(a) (19). 4. Gifts to an Agency Regulation 18944 provides a narrow exception to the normal gift reporting requirements and value limitations for gifts made directly to a public agency. A payment made to a state or local government agency that is used for official agency business is not considered a gift or income to an individual public official who is the end recipient, even though the official receives an incidental personal benefit from the payment. As such, the gift does not have to be reported by the individual and is not subject to the annual value limitation. A payment shall be considered a gift to the public official's agency and not a gift to the public official if all of the following requirements are met., the payment must be used for official agency business; the agency head must determine and control the agency's use of the payment, including the selection of the official who will use the payment; and the agency must report the payment on a Form 801. The Form 801, which must be signed by the agency head and maintained as a public record in Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 53 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations accordance with Government Code Section 81008, must include the following information: ■ Donor Information: The reporting form requires not only the donor's name, but also his or her address, and must identify any other persons who contributed to the gift, as well as the amount each person contributed. If the donor is not an individual, the report must describe the business activity or nature of the entity giving the gift. • Description of Payment: The form requires a description of the payment, the date if was received, the intended purpose and the amount of the payment or the actual or estimated fair market value of the goods or services provided, if the amount is unknown. • Recipient Information: The form also requires that the agency specify the name, title, and department of the agency official who used the payment. Regulation 18944(c) (3). For any quarter year period in which the payments received by the agency aggregate to $2,500 or more since the last filing, a local agency must submit a copy of the form or a detailed summary of the information to its filing officer within 30 days after the close of the quarter. Thereafter, the filing officer must post a copy of the form or the information in a "prominent fashion" on its website within 30 days after the close of the quarter. If the local agency does not maintain a website, the agency must send its Form 801 to the FPPC, which will post the document on its own website. Regulation 18944(d). 5. Gifts to an Official's Family Regulation 18943 governs gifts to an official's or candidate's family. This regulation was substantially revised in late 2009 and again in 2011. Regulation 18943 adds new definitions and requirements that public officials should carefully review. Regulation 18943 adds definitions for an official's "family member." which includes an official's spouse or registered domestic partner, a dependent child, and an official's child. "Dependent child" means a child (including an adoptive child or stepchild) of a public official who is under 18 years old and whom the official is entitled to claim as a dependent on his or her federal tax return. Regulation 18229.1. An "official's child" (including an adoptive child or stepchild) means a child who meets all of the following criteria: The child is at least 18 but no more than 23 years old and is a full-time or part-time student: ■ The child has the some principal residence as the official. For purposes of this provision, a place, located away from the official's residence, at which the child resides for the purpose of attending school is not the child's "principal place of residence": and Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 54 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Mojor Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations The child does not provide more than one-half of his or her own support. Gifts to Both an Official and One or More Family Members. A single gift to both an official and one or more members of the official's family is a gift to the official for the full value of the gift. See "Wedding Gifts" section below for a particular exception to this rule. Gifts Solely to Family Members. A gift given solely to a member of an official's family is ❑ gift to the official, when there is no established working, social, or similar relationship between the donor and the official's family member that would suggest an appropriate association for making such a payment. A gift given to a member of an official's family is also a gift to the official if there is evidence to suggest the donor had a purpose to influence the official, such as when: • The donor is a lobbyist, lobbying firm, lobbyist employer, or other similar person and is registered to lobby the official's state agency; The donor is involved in an action or decision before the local or state government agency in which the official will reasonably foreseeably participate or in an action in which he or she has participated within the last 12 months, or • The donor has a contract with the official's agency or the donor engages in a business that regularly seeks contracts with, or licenses, permits or other entitlements from, and the official may reasonably foreseeably make or participate in such a decision or has participated in such a decision within 12 months of the time the gift is made, unless the donor has less than 10 percent interest in the business contracting with or appearing before the agency. 6. Invitation -Only Events When an official and one of his or her guests attends an invitation -only event such as a banquet, party, gala, celebration, or other similar function, other than a non-profit or political fundraiser as set forth in Regulation 18946.4, the value received is the official's and the guest's pro -rota share of the cost of the food, catering services, entertainment, and any item provided to the official and guest that is available to all guests attending the event. Regulation 18946.2(b). A calculation of the pro-rata share means the total cost of the list expenses above, divided by the number of acceptances or the number of attendees at the event. Any other specific benefit provided to the official and guest at the event, such as golf green fees. is valued at fair market value. Regulation 18946.2(b). C. Official or Ceremonial Functions When an official performs an official or ceremonial function at an invitation -only event in which the official is invited to participate by the event's sponsor or organizer to perform an official or ceremonial function, the value received is the pro -rates cost of Summary of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations Page 55 O 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations any meal provided to the official and guest, plus the value of any specific item that is presented to the official and his or her guest at the event. Regulation 18946.2(d). b. Drop -In Visit Except for an event sponsored by a lobbyist, lobbying firm, or lobbyist employer, if an official attends an invitation -only event and does not stay for any meal or entertainment otherwise provided at the event, receiving only minimal appetizers or drinks, the value of the gift received is the value of any specific item, other than food, that is presented to the official and his or her guest at the event, For purposes of this regulation, "entertainment" means a feature show or performance intended for an audience and does not include music provided for background ambiance. Regulation 18946.2(e). C. Lobbyists, Lobbying Firms, and Lobbyist Employers Where an official attends an invitation -only event sponsored by a lobbyist, lobbying firm, or lobbyist employer, the value of the gift is the pro-rata share of the cost of the event, Regulation 18946.2(b), 18640. If the official notifies the lobbyist, lobbying firm, or lobbyist employer that the official attended the event but that he or she did not stay for any meal or entertainment, receiving only minimal appetizers and drinks, the value of the gift received is the value of any specific item (other than food) that is presented to the official and the official's guest at the event. Regulation 18640(b). Again, the term "entertainment" means a feature show or performance intended for an audience and does not include music provided for background ambiance. Regulation 18640. 7. Tickets to Political and Charitable Fundraisers Regulation 18946.4 provides special rules for tickets provided to public officials to fundraisers for nonprofit and political organizations. Such tickets are not considered gifts to a public official if certain requirements are met. This exception applies only to two tickets provided to an official, and only if it is provided directly by the charity or campaign committee: additional tickets are treated as gifts.. The requirements vary depending an whether the organization is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, a non-501 (c) (3) nonprofit, or a political organization. a. Non-501 [c) f 3] Nonprofit Fundraiser Regulation 18946.4(a) provides that a ticket to a fundraising event for a nonprofit, tax- exempt organization that is neither a political campaign committee nor a 501(c) (3) nonprofit shall be valued as follows: • Where the ticket to the fundraiser clearly states that a portion of the ticket price is a donation to the organization, or the organization provides information indicating the portion of the admission price that constitutes the donation, then the value of the gift is the face value of the ticket or admission reduced by the amount of the donation - i.e., the "nondeductible portion" of the price of admission. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 56 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations • If there is no ticket or other official information provided by the organization indicating the value of the nondeductible portion of admission, the value of the gift is the pro -rota share of the cost of any food, catering service, entertainment. and any other item provided to the official that is available to the other guests. A calculation of the pro -rota share means the total cost of the listed expenses, divided by the number of acceptances or the number of attendees. Any other specific benefit provided to the official at the event, such as golf green fees, is valued at fair market value. b. Fundraiser for a 501 c 3 Rellig ious Charitable Scientific Literary or Educational Organization Where the event is a fundraising event for an organization exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3), such an organization may provide two tickets per event to an official, and the ticket shall have no value. Regulation 18946.4(b). Any additional tickets or admissions provided by the 501 (c) (3) organization, any tickets provided to or controlled by the official, and any tickets not provided directly by the 501 (c) (3) are valued as tickets from a non-501 (c) (3) nonprofit. Regulation 18946.4(b). c. Political Fundraiser For the gift of a ticket, pass, or other admission privilege to a political fundraising event for ❑ "campaign committee" or a comparable committee regulated under federal law or the laws of another state, the committee or candidate may provide two tickets per event to an official that shall be deemed to have no value. A "campaign committee" is any person or persons who directly or indirectly receives contributions totaling two thousand dollars ($2,000) or more in a calendar year (note. this was increased from $1,000 in 2015), makes independent expenditures totaling one thousand dollars ($1,000) or more in a calendar year, or makes contributions totaling ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more in a calendar year to or at the behest of candidates or committees. Regulation 18406; § 82013. 8. Tickets and Passes to Events a. Exem t from Reuorting Requirements and Value Restrictions In 2010 and 2011, the FPPC completely revised the regulations regarding tickets and passes that provide admission or access to facilities. Regulation 18944.1 applies only to the benefits the official receives from tickets or passes given to an agency for admission to a facility, event, show or performance for an entertainment. amusement, recreational or similar purpose that are provided to all members of the public with the some class of ticket or pass. The regulation does not apply to: tickets to lunch or dinner events such as non-profit fundraisers where there is no recreation or entertainment; tickets provided in which the official performs a ceremonial role; or, admission provided to a school, college or university official, coach, athletic director or employee to attend an amateur event performed by students of that school, college or university. Accordingly, when a public official receives a ticket or pass from an agency and the Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 57 fl 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requiremenfs of Principal Confiicfs of Interest Laws and Reguiafions official uses the ticket or pass, it does not have to be reported as a gift if one or more of the following exceptions apply: • Reimbursement. The ticket or pass is not considered a gift if the official reimburses the agency for the ticket. • Treated as Income. The ticket or pass is not considered a gift if the official treats the ticket or pass as income consistent with applicable state and federal income tax laws and the agency reports the distribution of the ticket or pass as income on its Form 802. • Agency -Distributed Ticket or Pass from Outside Source. If a third party gives a ticket or pass to an agency, and the agency then distributes the ticket to an official for his or her use, it is not a gift so long as: the original source of the ticket or pass has not earmarked it for use by particular agency officials, the agency determines in its sole discretion who uses the ticket or pass: and the distribution of the ticket or pass by the agency is made in accordance with a legitimate policy adopted by the agency, as described below. ■ Agency -Provided Ticket or Pass. A ticket or pass that an agency (1) obtains pursuant to the terms of a contract for use of public property, (2) obtains or controls because the agency controls the event or venue, or (3) purchases at fair market value and distributes in accordance with a legitimate policy adopted by the agency, as described below, is not a gift. b. Written Policy for Distribution of Tickets. The distribution of tickets and passes described above must be made pursuant to a written policy approved by the agency's legislative or governing body and posted on the agency website and maintained as a public record, subject to inspection and copying. Regulation 18944.1(e). The policy must contain the following: (1) a provision setting forth the public purposes of the agency for which tickets or passes may be distributed, which may include supporting general employee morale, retention or to reward public service if tickets or passes are given to officials who are not elected; (2) a provision requiring that the distribution of any ticket or pass to, or at the behest of, an official accomplish a stated public purpose of the agency: and (3) a provision prohibiting the transfer of any ticket received by an agency official, except to his or her immediate family or no more than one guest. The agency's legislative or governing body must determine whether the distribution of tickets or passes serves a legitimate public purpose of the agency, consistent with state law. C. Form 802 for Rel2orting Distribution of Tickets and Passes. Within 45 days of receiving a ticket or pass, the head of the agency must fill out and certify a Form 802 describing the distribution of tickets or passes to an official. The Form 802 requires: (1) the name of the official who received the ticket or pass, (2) a Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 58 Q 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations description and date of the event, (3) the face value of each ticket or pass, (4) the number of tickets or passes distributed to the official, (5) if the official gave the ticket or pass to another person, the name of that person, and (6) the specific public purpose under which the distribution was made or that the ticket or pass was distributed as income to the official. This form must be maintained as a public record, subject to Inspection and copying. The agency must post the form, or a summary of its contents, on its website and send the FPPC, by e-mail, the agency's website link for posting on its website. Regulation 18944.1(f). 9. Gifts from a Government Agency to an Official in That Agency A payment by an agency that provides Food, beverage, entertainment, goods or services of more than ❑ nominal value to an official in that agency is a reportable gift to that official, unless the payment is ❑ "lawful expenditure of public moneys." Regulation 18944.3. Several commentators have questioned the need or usefulness of this regulation because a public agency is already prohibited from making a payment that is not a "lawful expenditure of public moneys." Boiled down, the regulation states that it is illegal for an agency to give a gift unless the gift is legal. Until the FPPC issues some formal opinions or advice letters clarifying the regulation. or revises the text, its immediate application is unclear, 10. Wedding Gifts The value to an official of a wedding gift given to an official and his or her spouse or spouse -to -be is one-half of the gift's total value. Regulation 18946.3. This is an exception to the general rule, described above in "Gifts to an Official's Family," that a single gift to both an official and one or more members of the official's family is a gift to the official for the full value of the gift. The value of a wedding gift may exceed the gift limit, currently set at $500. Regulation 18942(b) (2). 11. Certain Gifts of Travel Payments for travel for a public official are generally subject to the annual gift limit, unless the payment is otherwise exempt. FPPC regulations state that a "payment for travel" includes "any payment that provides transportation to an official from one location to another location," as well as the cost of lodging and food connected with the travel. Regulation 18950(b). For reporting purposes, payments of air travel are valued in accordance with FPPC regulation 18946.5, as follows. Air travel is valued as the price the carrier charges the public for the some class seat on the flight provided to the official in the case of a commercial flight. The value of ail other air transportation is the value of the normal and usual charter fare or rental charge for a comparable airplane of comparable size, divided by the number of passengers aboard the flight. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 59 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 22803B5 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Exceptions for certain gifts of travel are found in both the Act and the FPPC regulations, which are discussed below, The FPPC regulations on this point were substantially revised in 2013. Public officials should review these exceptions closely and consult with the agency's legal counsel before relying on them. a. Travel payments related to speeches that serve a governmental purpose Section 89506(a) (1) exempts from the gift limit any payments, advances, and reimbursements for travel that are reasonably related to a legislative or governmental purpose or issue of public policy if made in connection with a speech made by the official in the U.S. § 89506(a) (1); Regulation 18950(b). These types of payments for travel are not subject to the gift limit, but they must still be reported on a public official's Form 700. § 89506(a) (1); Regulation 18950(a) . b. Travel payments related to a governmenial Durpose made by governmeni agencies and certain non -profits Section 89506(a) (2) exempts from the gift limit any payments, advances, and reimbursements for travel that are reasonably related to a legislative or governmental purpose or issue of public policy if provided by a governmental agency, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit,�3 and a few other limited organizations/persons. § 89506(a) (2), These types of payments for travel are generally not subject to the gift limit, but they must still be reported on a public official's Form 700. § 89506(a)(2); Regulation 18950(a). However, Section 89506(f) (3) now clarifies that if a nonprofit is acting as an intermediary or agent of a donor, then the $500 gift limitation would apply and the original donor must be listed as the source of the gift to the official, as well as considered a financial interest for the purpose of conflicts analysis. § 89506(f) (3). c. Travel for education training, or intral-agency purposes Any payment for travel and per diem expenses received from a state, local, or federal agency is not a gift or income if used by the official for "education, training, or other inter -agency programs or purposes." Regulation 18950(c) (2). d. Travel in a vehicle or Diane owned by another official or a enc Regulation 18950(c) (3) provides that "transportation provided to an official in a vehicle or aircraft owned by another official or agency when each official is traveling to or from the some location for an event as a representative of their respective offices" does not constitute a "payment" and therefore does not count as a gift. Regulation 18950(c) (3) . za With respect to nonprofit organizations that regularly organize and host travel for elected officials and that make payments, advances, or reimbursements totaling more than $10,000 for a calendar year or $5,000 to an individual person, the Act now requires the nonprofits to disclose the names of donors responsible for funding the travel costs. § 89506(f). An organization "regularly organizes and hosts travel" if the organization's expenses for travel, study fours, or conferences constitutes more than one third of its total expenses. Id. In that case. the nonprofit must disclose the names of donors who contributed $1,000 or more to the nonprofit organization and who accompanied the elected official, either in person or through an agent, for any portion of the travel. § 89506(f). Summary of Principal Conflicts of interest Laws and Regulations Page 60 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations e. Travel Made in Conjunction with Official A-gency Business Regulation 18950.1 provides an exception for travel provided by sources other than local, state, or federal agencies if the travel is made in conjunction with certain types of official agency business.

The first requirement above - that the payment is made directly to or coordinated with the agency -- is satisfied if the government employer selects the public official who will use the payment for travel. If, however, the payment relates to an oral presentation to provide training or discuss policy and direction in implementing the agency's functions, the donor of the payment may request the official who is most qualified to make the presentation. Regulation 18950.1 (d). The second requirement above - that the payment be used for official agency business - is satisfied under any of the following circumstances: � The payment is made pursuant to a provision in a contract requiring the contracting party to pay any expenses associated with any required governmental travel resulting from the government agency's participation in the contract and the payment is used for that purpose; The payment is made for the travel expenses of an official for the purpose of performing a regulatory inspection or auditing function that the governmental employer is mandated to perform; The payment is made for the travel expenses of an official and the official is attending solely for purposes of providing training or educational information directly related to the governmental employer's functions or duties under the laws that it administers for individuals who are affected by those laws, and the payment is made by an organization to provide such training for its members: Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 61 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations f The payment is made for the travel expenses of an official to an educational conference directly related to the governmental employer's functions or duties under the laws that it administers, the official is a named presenter at the conference, and the payment is made by the organizers of the event; The payment is made for the travel expenses of an official for the purpose of receiving training directly related to the official's job duties and the payment is provided by an organization that commonly provides such training; The payment is made for food provided to all attendees at a working group meeting in which the agency official participates as a representative of his or her agency in a working group meeting under his or her officially assigned job duties and the agency is authorized to provide an official to attend the meeting; or The payment is for travel expenses that are required to attend a location to view an in place operation, structure, facility, or available product where the viewing would substantially enhance an official's knowledge and understanding in making an informed decision to enter into a contract regarding a similar operation, structure, facility or purchase of the product pursuant to the jurisdictional authority of the official's governmental employer. The fourth requirement above - that the payment of travel does not provide a personal benefit to the official - is satisfied under Regulation 18950.1(e) if both of the following requirements are met: The travel is for purposes approved by the governmental employer under the same requirements applicable to travel using its own funds, and the official is representing his or her governmental employer in the course and scope of his or her official duties. Travel expenses are limited to no more than the expenses allowable for travel for agency business that would reasonably be paid at agency expense. The latter requirement does not apply to either of the following: ■ Payment for food where food is provided as part of the admission to the event. Otherwise, any payments for food must be made to the government employer pursuant to the employer's per diem travel policy. Reguiafion 18950.1(b). ■ Payment for any lodging or food if the lodging and food is provided at a site where the official attends a widely attended meeting or conference and the value is substantially equivalent in Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 62 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Con fficis of Interest Laws and Regulations value to the lodging or food typically made available to the other attendees. Regulation 18950.1(g). The sixth requirement above - that the payment is reported - is satisfied by the agency reporting the payment on a quarterly basis on a form prescribed by the FPPC. Regulation 18950.1(f). All such forms must be maintained as a public record and subject to inspection and copying under Government Code Section 81008. f. Travel in Connection with Bona Fide Business The FPPC regulations reiterate the general rule in Government Code Section 89506, whereby a payment made for transportation, lodging, or food, which is made in connection with a bona fide business trade, or profession, and which satisfies the criteria for federal income tax deductions for business expenses specified in Internal Revenue Code Sections 162 and 274, is not an honorarium or gift. unless the sole or predominant activity of the business, trade or profession is making speeches. Regulation 18950.2. g. Travel Paid from Campoicin Funds A payment made to an official who is a candidate to cover his or her transportation, lodging or food, in connection with campaign activities, is a contribution to the campaign committee of that official. Regulation 18950.3(a). A payment made to an official by or at the behest of ❑ committee for the official's actual travel expenses (including food and lodging), or for other actual and allowable campaign expenses, is neither income nor a gift to the official so long as the expenses are reportable by the committee under the relevant sections of the Political Reform Act (Government Code Sections 84100 et seq.) or applicable federal law. Any other payment for travel from a committee to an official that is not covered by Regulation 18950.3(a) and (b) is income or a gift.

Prohibitions on Receipt of Honoraria Government Code Section 89502 provides that an elected officer of a local government agency and any official listed in Section 87200 shall not accept an honorarium. This prohibition also applies to candidates for elective office in a local government agency. § 89502(b). An "honorarium" meads any payment made in consideration for any speech given, article published, or attendance at any public or private conference, convention, meeting, social event, meal, or like gathering. § 89501. 1.

Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations IV. PROHIBITION AGAINST MASS MAILINGS The Political Reform Act also prohibits the sending of newsletters and other so-called "mass mailings" at public expense. §§ 89001, 89002.24 A "mass mailing" is defined as the mailing or distribution at public expense of 200 or more items within a calendar month featuring the name, office, photograph or other reference to an elected officer of the agency. § 82041.5. The Government Code also prohibits a mass mailing from being sent within the 60 days preceding an election by or on behalf of a candidate whose name appears on the ballot. § 89003. The underlying intent of the Government Code provision and the implementing FPPC Regulation is to preclude elected officials from using public agency newsletters as indirect campaign flyers for themselves. The law and regulations are intended to clamp down on prior abuses of newsletters so that elected officials cannot use publicly funded newsletters to bolster their name or accomplishments while in office. A. Test for Prohibited Mass Mailing The FPPC regulations previously included a four prong test to determine the legality of mass mailings. Under the statutory text, which now incorporates the requirements from the prior regulation, a mass mailing is prohibited if each of the following elements is present: ■ it includes the delivery of a tangible item, It "features" an elected officer, or includes a reference to, an elected officer and is sent in cooperation with the elected officer, ■ it is sent at public expense, • a quantity of more than 200 substantially similar items are sent in a single calendar month. § 89002. Most public agencies that publish newsletters attempt to avoid the prohibition by ensuring that the newsletter does not meet the second element of the test_ Each of the four elements is discussed in numerical order below. 1. Delivery of Tangible Item First, a court will determine whether any "item sent is delivered, by any means, to the recipient at his or her residence, place of employment or business, or post office box. The item delivered to the recipient must be a tangible item, such as a videotape, record, or button, or a written document," § 89002(a)(1). This means that if a city intends to deliver a written document, such as a city newsletter, by U.S. mail or by hand to residents or businesses, this element is satisfied. =" section 89002 incorporates Regulation 18901 into the statutory language to clarity the circumstances when a mailing would be prohibited by the general rule in Section 89001 and to identity certain situations when the prohibition would not apply. The FPPC has repealed Regulation 18901 now that the statute includes the some text. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 68 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations 2. Features or Includes Reference to an Elected Official The second part of the test is the most important and requires that the ifem sent either; • Features an elected officer affiliated with the agency which produces or sends the mailing, or • Includes the name, office, photograph, or other reference to an elected officer affiliated with the agency which produces or sends the mailing, and is prepared or sent in cooperation. consultation, coordination, or concert with the elected officer. § 89002(a)(2). The term "features an elected officer" is defined to mean that "the item mailed includes the elected officer's photograph or signature or singles out the ejected officer by the manner of display of his or her name or office in the layout of the document, such as by headlines, captions, type size, type face, or type color." § 89002(c)(2). And the term "elected officer affiliated with the agency" in this manner means "an elected officer who is a member, officer, or employee of the agency, or of a subunit thereof such as ❑ committee, or who has supervisory control over the agency or appoints one or more members of the agency." § 89002(c) j 1 j. This means that if the written document includes the photograph of a council member, even if it just shows the council member cutting a ribbon on a civic project or giving out a plaque to a member of the community, this element would be satisfied. It also precludes articles about an elected city official or articles in which they are "singled out" for discussion or reference, The other way this second part of the mass mailing test can be satisfied is if an elected city official's "name, office, photograph, or other reference" is included in a written document and the document, or any part of it "is prepared or sent in cooperation, consultation, coordination, or concert with the elected officer." This restriction presents elected officials with a choice. If the elected official involves him or herself in the preparation of the document, then even the official's name is excluded from appearing in the document pursuant to this second subpart, If, on the other hand, the elected official does not involve him or herself in the preparation of the document, his or her name may appear in the document, but not in a way that it is "featured" by way of headlines, captions, type size, Type face, or type color. 3. Public Expense The third part of the test is whether: Any of the costs of distribution are paid for with public money, or Costs of design, production, and printing exceeding $50 are paid with public money, and the design, production, or printing is done with the intent of sending the item other than as permitted by the statute. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lows and Regulations Page 59 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Lows and Regulations § 89002(a)(3). This part of the test precludes the city from either paying the costs of mailing a mass mailing, or paying more than $50 of the cost of having it produced if another person or entity pays for the cost of distributing the mailing. 4. More than 200 Copies of the Item The fourth and final element of the test to determine whether a mass mailing is prohibited is whether "[mlore than 200 substantially similar items are sent in a single calendar month, excluding any item sent in response to an unsolicited request..." § 89002(a)(4). This means that if more than 200 copies of the same written document, such as a city newsletter, are sent to the public in the some month, this element will be satisfied, with minor exceptions discussed below, A city newsletter is particularly prone to violating the mass mailing proscriptions, especially the first, third and fourth elements of the test. The key to a lawful newsletter is to ensure that each issue of the newsletter fully avoids meeting the criteria of the second element of the test. This means that the newsletter cannot "feature" an elected city official and cannot include an elected official's name or reference if that official participates in the preparation of the newsletter, as discussed above. For example, many cities issue proclamations and awards at council meetings, and it is customary for an honoree to be photographed with the mayor. In order to comply with the mass mailing restrictions, the cities tape two photographs: one of the honoree shaking the mayor's hand, for distribution to non -city publications such as a local newspaper, and one of the honoree standing alone, for publication in the city newsletter. B. Exceptions to the Mass Mailing Prohibition The statute now contains a list of certain types of documents that are exempt from the prohibition of mass mailings. The first of these documents is a letter on city letterhead where the elected official's name only appears in the letterhead along with a list of all other elected officers of the city and the letter does not contain other references to the elected official. § 89002(b)(1). Linder this exemption, a non -elected official, such as the city manager, may send a letter on city letterhead at city expense to members of the community but an elected officer, such as the mayor, cannot do the same because the signature on the letter will be considered a separate reference to the elected official. If a letter signed by the mayor is to be sent to the community, a private individual or group would have to pay for the cost of producing and sending that letter. Other exemptions include press releases to the media, inter -agency communications, intro -agency communications, tax statements and bills, telephone directories, limited meeting or event announcements, and meeting agendas. § 89002(b). All of these items are subject to their own specific limitations, as set forth in the statutory text.

EXPENDITURES TO SUPPORT OR DEFEAT A BALLOT MEASURE A local government may not spend public funds to assist with the passage or defeat of an initiative or other ballot measure or to contribute to a campaign for or against a candidate. § 54964. Public monies may not be spent on commercials, announcements, banners or any other promotional materials. This is based on the theory that it would be unfair to voters with opposing views to use public funds in this way. The prohibition also serves to prevent elected officials from using government funds to promote themselves or their allies in office. Stanson v. Mott, 17 Cal, 3d 206, 217 (1976); League of Women Voters v. County -Wide Criminal Justice Coordinating Common, 203 Cal. App, 3d 529 (1988). However, this section does not prohibit the expenditure of city funds to provide information to the public about the possible effects of the ballot measure on the activities, operations, or policies of the city, as long as these activities are otherwise allowed under California law, and the information is factual, accurate, fair, and impartial. § 54964(c). The leading California case setting forth the basic rule with respect to government involvement in political campaigns is Stanson v. Mott, 17 Cal. 3d 206 (1976), In Stanson. the California Supreme Court addressed the question of whether the State Director of Beaches and Parks was authorized to expend public funds in support of certain state bond measures for the enhancement of state and local recreational facilities. The court concluded that the Director lacked such authority and set forth the basic rule that "in the absence of clear and explicit legislative authorization, ❑ public agency may not expend public funds to promote a partisan position in an election campaign." Only impartial "informational" communications would be permissible, such as a fair presentation of the facts in response to a citizen's request for information. The Stanson Court also recognized that the line between improper "campaign" expenditures and proper "informational" activities is not always clear. "[T]he determination of the propriety or impropriety of the expenditure depends upon a careful consideration of such factors as the style, tenor and timing of the publication; no hard and fast rule governs every case." Id. at 221-22. The Stanson test was reaffirmed by the California Supreme Court in Vargas v. City of Salinas, 46 Cal. 4th 1 (2009) . Prior to Vargas, courts attempting to interpret and apply Stanson used varying tests to determine the permissibility of expenditures. For example, in California Common Cause v. Duffy, an appellate court held that a local sheriff's use of public facilities and personnel to distribute postcards critical of then -Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird was "political" and not "informational" as permitted by Stanson because the cards presented only one side of Justice Bird's fitness to be retained in office. 200 Cal. App. 3d 730, 746-747 (1987). In another appellate decision, Schroeder v. City Council of Irvine, another court of appeal upheld Irvine's "Vote 2000" Program. 97 Cal. App. 4th 174 (2002). The program encouraged voter registration, without specifically advocating a particular position on any measure. Although the city had taken a public position in Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 71 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations favor of the proposed ballot measure, the materials it distributed did not advocate any particular vote on the measure and rarely mentioned the measure at all. The Schroeder court held that the funds spent on the Vote 2000 program would be political expenditures and unlawful under Stanson only if the communications expressly advocated, or taken as a whole unambiguously urged, the passage or defeat of the measure. Because the city presented a neutral position on "Measure F," at least in the campaign materials, the court upheld the program as valid. However, in Vargas v. City of Salinas, the California Supreme Court decided that "express advocacy" is an insufficient standard. In Vargas, proponents of a local ballot initiative to repeal the city's utility users tax ("Measure 0") sued the city alleging improper government expenditures, the court held that even if a communication does not expressly advocate for either side of an issue, a Stonson analysis must nonetheless be conducted to determine whether the activity was for informational or campaigning purposes based on its style, tenor, and timing. Although the court did not specifically refer to the Schroeder analysis in its opinion, the court clearly stated that the "express advocacy" standard does not meaningfully address potential constitutional problems arising from the use of public funds for campaign activities that were identified in Stonson. Thus, local governments must look to Vargas rather than Schroeder for the proper standard to evaluate whether an expenditure is permissible. A variety of factors led to the Vargas court's conclusion that the communications were informational, including the fact that the publications avoided argumentative or inflammatory rhetoric and did not urge citizens to vote in a particular manner. The challenged expenditures were made pursuant to general appropriations in the city's regular annual budget pertaining to the maintenance of the city's website, the publication of the city's regular quarterly newsletter, and the ordinary provision of information to the public regarding the city's operations. The Supreme Court found that in posting on the city's website the minutes of city council meetings relating to the council's action along with reports prepared by various municipal departments and presented by officials at city council meetings, the city engaged in informational rather than campaign activity. Similarly, the city did not engage in campaign activity in producing a one -page document listing the program reductions that the city council voted to implement should Measure 0 be approved, or in making copies of the document available to the public at the city clerk's office and public libraries. The court reasoned that viewed from the perspective of an objective observer, the document clearly constituted an informational statement that merely advised the public of specific plans that the city council voted to implement should Measure 0 be approved. Finally, the court found that the city engaged in permissible informational activity by mailing to city residents the fall 2002 "City Round -Up" newsletter containing articles describing proposed reductions in city services. Although under some circumstances the mailing of material relating to ❑ ballot measure to a large number of voters shortly before an upcoming election would constitute campaign activity, a number of factors supported the court's conclusion that the mailing of the newsletter constituted informational rather than campaign activity. it was a regular edition of the newsletter that was mailed to all city residents as a general practice, the style and tenor of the Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 72 C7 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations publication was entirely consistent with an ordinary municipal newsletter and readily distinguishable from traditional campaign material, and the article provided residents with important information about the toxin an objective and nonpartisan manner. The Supreme Court illustrated the insufficiency of the "express advocacy" standard by suggesting that if the city were to post billboards throughout the city prior to an election stating, "IF MEASURE O IS APPROVED, SIX RECREATION CENTERS, THE MUNICIPAL POOL, AND TWO LIBRARIES WILL CLOSE," it would defy common sense to suggest that the city had not engaged in campaign activity even though such advertisements would not have violated the express advocacy standard. Vargas and Stonson reflect that local agencies must exercise caution when communicating to 'voters about local measures. Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule to assist public officials in distinguishing improper partisan campaign expenditures from permissible expenditures for "informational activities." Whether a communication is permissible will be based an a combination of these factors, and public officials should therefore seek the advice of the city attorney on a case -by -case basis. Assistance may also be obtained from the FPPC. Last, public officials should also be aware of a fairly new mass mailing rule that regulates communications pertaining to candidates and ballot measures. In 2009, the FPPC adopted a new regulation to prohibit government agencies from paying for mass mailings that expressly advocate or "unambiguously urge" a particular result in an election, Regulation 18901.1 prohibits a mailing if all of the following criteria are met; ■ A delivery of a tangible item such as ❑ written document, video tape. record, or button and is delivered to the recipient at his or her residence, place of employment or business, or post office box; ■ The item sent expressly advocates or unambiguously urges a particular result in an election; ■ The public agency (1) pays to distribute the item or (2) pays costs, exceeding $50, reasonably related to designing, producing, printing or formulating the content of the item including, but not limited to payments for polling or research and payments for the salary, expenses, or fees of the agency's employees, agents, vendors, or consultants with the intention of sending the item; and ■ More than 200 substantially similar items are sent during the course of the election including items sent during the qualification drive or in anticipation of an upcoming election. A mailing "unambiguously urges a particular result in an election" if the communication can be reasonably characterized as campaign material or activity and is not a fair presentation of facts serving only an informational purpose when taking into account the style, tenor, and timing of the communication. Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 73 © 2019 Richards, watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations There are exceptions to this rule, and the following are not considered campaign related mass maiiings: (1) an agency report providing the agency's internal evaluation of a measure sent to ❑ member of the public upon the individual's request; (2) a written argument sent to a voter in the voter information pamphlet: and (3) a communication clearly and unambiguously authorized by law. Essentially, this regulation utilizes the standards articulated by the Supreme Court in the Vargas case and provides that communications that violate those standards are prohibited mass mailings.

PROHIBITION ON GIFTS OF PUBLIC FUNDS Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution prohibits state and local governments from making gifts of public funds or property. A transfer of property without consideration is a gift. Civ. Code § 1146. However, where property is transferred for a "public purpose" it will not be considered a gift of public funds. There, '' [t] he benefit to the government from an expenditure for ❑ 'pubtic purpose' is in the nature of consideration and funds expended are therefore not a gift even though private persons are benefited therefrom." 69 Ops. Cal. Att'y Gen. 168 (1986) (citing California Employment Stabilization Comm `n v. Payne, 31 Cal. 2d 210, 216 (1947); Alameda County v. Janssen. 16 Cal. 2d 276, 281 (1940)). In determining whether a legislative body has made a gift of public funds, courts will look first at "whether the money is to be used for a public or private purpose." Oakland v. Garrison, 194 Cat. 298, 302 (1941 ). "If it is for ❑ public purpose within the jurisdiction of the appropriating board or body, it is not, generally speaking, to be regarded as ❑ gift." id. As the California Court of Appeal explained in Board of Supervisors v. Dolan, "[i]t is settled that if ❑ public purpose is served by the expenditure of public funds, the constitutional prohibition is not violated even though there may be incidental benefits to private persons." 45 Cal. App. 3d 237, 243 (1975) . However, to avoid violating the constitutional prohibition. public financial assistance must be tailored or "directly related" to a public purpose. California Housing Finance Authority v, Elliott, 17 Cal. 3d 575 (1976). Thus, financial assistance that does not directly further the proffered public purpose may still be found to be unconstitutional. Courts defer to the legislative body's determination of what constitutes a "public purpose." The concept of public purpose has been "liberally construed by the courts," and a city council's determination of public purpose will be upheld unless it is "totally arbitrary." County of Alameda v. Carleson, 5 Cal. 3d 730, 746 (1971). Where a city acts pursuant to a state statute or in furtherance of a state statute, courts will defer to the state legislature in determining whether a public purpose exists.

Watson & Gershon 2280385 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations VII. CONCLUSION More often than not, determining the application of conflicts of interest laws in particular circumstances requires complicated analysis. Because the consequences for a violation of these laws can be very serious, it is important that potential conflicts be identified as soon as possible to ensure that the appropriate analysis can be performed. To that end, we recommend that public agency staff prepare maps of council member residences and other real property interests (and those of other public officials, such as planning commissioners) so that such officials may be alerted to projects that are located within 500 and 1,000 feet of their real property interests. Even though the materiality standards for real property interests have changed over the years, this is still an important scarfing point for a conflicts analysis. We encourage all public officials to keep in mind that it is the individual responsibility of each public official to determine whether he or she has a conflict in a particular decision. We encourage officials and staff to seek advice from the city attorney when in doubt about a conflicts of interest issue. Because only a formal, written opinion from the FPPC can immunize someone from prosecution, we strongly encourage officials and staff to seek advice from the city attorney as early as possible, so that, if necessary, the public agency may request a formal opinion from the FPPC prior to any participation in a decision where a public official may have a conflict. In addition, the Legislature has enacted ❑ statute that requires public officials to take at least two hours of ethics training every two years if the local agency provides that official with any type of compensation, salary or stipend or provides reimbursement for necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by that official in the performance of their official duties. § 53235(a). Ethics training would also be required of any employee designated by the local agency to receive such training. § 53234(c). Please seek advice from the city attorney regarding further details about ethics training, Summary of Principal Conflicts of Interest Laws and Regulations Page 76 2019 Richards.

Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act //RWG LAW Ralph M. Brown Act 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Page 1 Summary of the Major Provisions and Requirements of the Ralph M. Brawn Act The Ralph M. Brown Act, more commonly known as the "Brown Act," is California's "sunshine" law for local government. The Brown Act is found in the California Government Code commencing with Section 54950. In a nutshell, the Brown Act requires local government business to be conducted at open and public meetings, except in certain limited situations. This paper briefly summarizes and discusses the major provisions of the Brown Act. I. APPLICATION OF BROWN ACT TO "LEGISLATIVE BODIES" The requirements of the Brown Act apply to "legislative bodies" of local governmental agencies. The term "legislative body" is defined to include the governing body of a local agency (e.g., the city council or the board of supervisors) and any commission, committee, board, or other body of the local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision making or advisory, that is created by formal action of a legislative body. § 54952(a)--(b). Standing committees of a legislative body, that have either "continuing subject matter jurisdiction" or a meeting schedule fixed by formal action of the legislative body, are also subject to the requirements of the Brown Act. Some common examples include the finance, personnel, or similar policy subcommittees of a legislative body. Standing committees exist to make routine, regular recommendations on a specific subject matter. These committees continue to exist over time and survive resolution of any one issue or matter. They are also a regular part of the governmental structure. The Brown Act does not apply to "ad hoc" committees comprised solely of members of the legislative body that are less than a quorum of the body, provided these committees do not have a "continuing subject matter jurisdiction," or a meeting schedule fixed by formal action of the legislative body. Such ad hoc committees are purely advisory; they generally serve only a limited or single purpose, are not perpetual, and are dissolved when their specific task is completed. Advisory and standing committees, but not ad hoc committees, are required to have agendas, and to have their agendas posted at least 72 hours in advance of their meetings. if this is done. the meeting is considered to be a regular meeting for all purposes. If the agenda is not posted at least 72 hours in advance. the meeting must be treated as a special meeting, and all of the limitations and requirements for special meetings apply, as discussed later. Ralph M. Brown Act Page I Q 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Mom Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act The governing boards of some private ccrporafions, limited liability companies, and private entities may be subject to the Brown Act under certain circumstances. A private entity's governing board constitutes a legislative body within the meaning of the Brown Act if either of the following applies: (i) the private entity is created by an elected legislative body to exercise lawfully delegated authority of the legislative body; or (ii) the private entity receives funds from a local agency and its governing board includes a member of the legislative body of the local agency who was appointed by the legislative body to the governing board as a full voting member. § 54952(c). The Brown Act also applies to persons who are elected to serve as members of a legislative body of a local agency even before they assume the duties of office. § 54952.1. Under this provision, the statute is applicable to newly elected, but not -yet - sworn -in, members of the legislative body. II. DEFINITION OF "MEETING" The central provision of the Brown Act requires that all "meetings" of a legislative body be open and public. The Brown Act defines the term "meeting" very broadly, § 54952.2, and encompasses almost every gathering of a majority of legislative body members, including; Any congregation of a majority of the members of a legislative body at the some time and location ... to hear, discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. In plain English, this definition means that a meeting is any gathering of a majority of council members, board of directors, or other applicable legislative body, to hear, discuss or deliberate any item of local agency business or potential local agency business. It is important to emphasize that a meeting occurs if a majority gathers to hear, discuss or deliberate on a matter and not just voting or taking action on the issue. III. EXCEPTIONS TO MEETING REQUIREMENT There are six types of gatherings that are not subject to the Brown Act. We commonly refer to these exceptions as: (1 ) the individual contact exception; (2) the seminar or conference exception; (3) the community meeting exception; (4) the other legislative body exception; (5) the social or ceremonial occasion exception: and (6) the standing committee exception. Unless a gathering of a majority of the members of a legislative body falls within one of the exceptions discussed below, even if a majority of members are merely in the some room listening to a discussion of local agency business, they will be participating in a meeting within the meaning of the Brown Act that requires notice, an agenda, and ❑ period for public comment. Ralph M. Brown Act Poge 2 Q 2019 Richords, Watson & Gershon 2272599 summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act A. The Individual Contact Exception Conversations, whether in person, by telephone or other means, between a member of a legislative body and any other person do not constitute a meeting under the Brown Act. § 54952,2(c) (1 ). However, such contacts may constitute a "serial meeting" (discussed below) in violation of the Brown Act, if the individual ❑lso makes a series of individual cantacts with other members of the legislative body, and communications with these other members are used to "discuss, deliberate, or take action on ❑ny item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body." B. The Seminar or Conference Exception Attendance by a majority of the legislative body at a seminar, conference, or similar educational gathering is generally exempted from Brown Act requirements. § 54952.2(c)(2). However, in order to qualify under this exception, the seminar or conference must be open to the public and must involve issues of general interest to the public or to local agencies. Attendance at a California League of Cities or California Contract Cities seminar is an example of an educational gathering that fulfills these requirements. However, as with many ❑f the exceptions, this exception will not apply if a majority of legislative body members discuss among themselves items of specific business relating to their own local agency other than as part of the scheduled program. C. The Community Meeting Exception The community meeting exception allows a majority of legislative body members to attend privately sponsored neighborhood meetings, town hall forums, chamber of commerce lunches or other community meetings at which Issues of local interest are discussed. § 54952.2(c) (3). In order to fall within this exception, however, the community meeting must satisfy specific criteria. First, the community meeting must be "open and publicized." Therefore, a homeowners' association meeting restricted to the residents of a particular development and only publicized to those residents cannot be attended by a majority of the legislative body without following the Brown Act requirements because the meeting does not qualify for the exception. And again, for those meetings that fall within the community meeting exception, a majority of legislative body members cannot discuss among themselves items of business of their own local agency other than as part of the scheduled program, D. The Other Legislative Body Exception This exception allows a majority of members of any legislative body to attend open and noticed meetings of ❑ther legislative bodies of their local agency, or of another local agency, without treating such attendance as a meeting of the body. § 54952.2(c) (4). Of course, the legislative body members are prohibited from discussing items of business of their local agency among themselves other than as part of the scheduled meeting, Ralph M, Brown Act Page 3 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 5ummary of the Maior Provisions of the Rabh M. Brown Act E. The Social or Ceremonial Occasion Exception As has always been the case, the Brown Act does not apply to attendance by a majority of the legislative body members of purely social or ceremonial occasions. § 54952.2(c)(5). This exception only applies if a majority of legislative body members do not discuss among themselves items of business of their local agency. F. The Standing Committee Exception The standing committee exception allows members of a legislative body, who are not members of a standing committee of that body, to attend an open and noticed meeting of the committee without making the gathering a meeting of the full legislative body itself. § 54952.2(c) (6). If ❑ majority of the Iegistative body is created by the attendance of the additional members, the legislative body members who are not members of the standing committee may attend only as "observers." This means that the noncommittee members of the Iegisiative body should not speak at the standing committee's meeting, sit in their usual seat on the dais, or otherwise participate in the meeting. It is generally recommended that. if a standing committee meeting is likely to be attended by other legislative body members, then the meeting should be agendized as a meeting of the whole legislative body. This will allow full participation by all members of the legislative body. IV. PERMITTED LOCATIONS OF MEETINGS AND TELECONFERENCING The Brown Act generally requires all meetings of a legislative body to occur within the boundaries of the local agency. § 54954(b). There are limited exceptions to this rule, however, such as allowing meetings with a legislative body of another local agency in that agency's jurisdiction. Meetings held outside of a local agency's boundaries pursuant to an exception still must comply with agenda and notice requirements, as discussed below. "Teleconferencing" may be used by members of a legislative body as a way to participate fully in the meeting from remote locations. § 54953(b). If a member participates in a meeting via teleconferencing, the following requirements apply: (i ) the remote location must be connected to the main meeting location by telephone, video or both; (2) the notice and agenda of the meeting must identify the remote location; (3) the remote location must be posted and accessible to the public; (4) all votes must be by roll call; and (5) the meeting must comply with the Brown Act, which includes allowing participation by members of the public present in remote locations. A quorum of the legislative body must participate from locations within the jurisdiction, but other members may participate from outside the jurisdiction. The teleconferencing rules only apply to members of the legislative body. Staff members, attorneys, or consultants may participate remotely without following the posting and public access requirements of the teleconferencing rules. Ralph M. Brawn Act `0ge 4 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act V. ADA COMPLIANCE Pursuant to Section 54953.2, all meetings of a legislative body, other than closed session meetings or parts of meetings involving a closed session, are required to be held in a location and conducted in a manner that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. In addition, if requested, the agenda and documents in the agenda packet shall be made available in alternative formats to persons with a disability. § 54954,1. The agenda shall include information regarding how, to whom, and when a request for disability -related modification or accommodation, including auxiliary aids or services, may be made by a person with a disability who requires a modification or accommodation in order to participate in the meeting. § 54954.2. VI. SIMULTANEOUS OR SUCCESSIVE MEETINGS A legislative body that has convened a meeting and whose membership constitutes a quorum of any other legislative body may convene a meeting of that other legislative body, simultaneously or successively, only if ❑ clerk or a member of the convened legislative body announces the following prior convening the simultaneous or successive meeting: 1) There is a subsequent legislative body; 2) The compensation or stipend, if any, each member may receive as a result of the multiple meetings; and 3) The form of that compensation or stipend will be provided. The compensation and stipend is not required to be announced if it is listed in a statute without additional compensation authorized by the local agency, and in any case, the announced compensation must not include amounts reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses incurred by a member in the performance of his or her official duties. § 54952.3, VII. SERIAL MEETINGS In addition to regulating all gatherings of a majority of the members of a legislative body, the Brown Act also addresses certain contacts between individual members of the legislative body. On the one hand, the Brown Act specifically provides that nothing in the Act is intended to impose requirements on individual contacts or conversations between a member of a legislative body and any other person. § 54952.2(c)(1). This provision even applies to individual contacts between two members of the legislative body (the individual contact exception to the "meeting" described above). Despite this exception, however, the Brown Act prohibits 'serial meetings.' § 54952.2(b) (1). Ralph M. Brown Act Page 5 ® 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brawn Act A 5erlal meeting Is a series of meetings or communications, either in person or by other means, between individual members of the legislative body in which ideas are exchanged among a majority of a legislative body. A serial meeting can occur even though a majority of legislative body members never gather in a room at the some time, and it typically occurs in one of two ways. The first is when ❑ staff member, a legislative body member, or some other person individually contacts a majority of legislative body members and shares ideas among the majority ("I've talked to members A and B and they will vote 'yes.' Will you?"). Alternatively, member A calls member B, who then calls member C, and so on, until a majority of the legisiative body has discussed or deliberated or has taken action on the item of business. The prohibition against serial meetings does not, however, prohibit communications between staff and legislative body members for the purpose of answering questions or providing information regarding a matter that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the local agency, as long as the staff person does not communicate with other members of the legislative body, the comments or positions of any other member of the legislative body. § 54952.2(b)(2). Observing the following guidelines can avoid inadvertent violation of the serial meeting rule. A. Contacts with Staff Staff can inadvertently become a conduit among a majority of a legislative body in the course of providing briefings on items of local agency business. Originally, the California Court of Appeal held that staff briefings of individual city council members do not constitute an illegal serial meeting under the Brown Act unless there was additional evidence that: (1 ) staff acted as a personal intermediary for other members of the legislative body, and (2) the meetings led to a collective concurrence among members of the legislative body. Following that decision, the state legislature amended Government Code Section 54952.2 in 2008, effective in 2009, to further clarify that staff briefings of individual city council members for the purpose of answering questions or providing information regarding an item of business do not constitute an illegal serial meeting under the Brown Act as long as a staff person does not communicate the comments or positions of a member of the legislative body to other members. Staff briefings must therefore be handled carefully. To avoid having a staff briefing become a serial meeting. • Staff briefings of members of the legislative body should be "unidirectional" when done on an individual basis for a majority of the legislative body. This means that information should flow from staff to the member, and the member's participation should be limited to asking questions and acquiring information. Otherwise, if multiple members separately give staff direction thereby causing staff to shape or modify their ultimate recommendations in order to reconcile the views of a majority of the members, a violation might occur. • A legislative body member should not ask staff to describe the views of any other members of the legislative body, and staff should not volunteer those views If known. Ralph M. Brown Act Page 6 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act ■ Staff may present their views to a legislative body member during an individual contact, but staff should not ask for that member's views unless it is absolutely clear that staff is not discussing the matter with ❑ majority of the legislative body. B. Contacts with Constituents, Developers and Lobbyists A constituent, developer, or lobbyist can also inadvertently become on intermediary among a majority of members of a legislative body thereby creating an illegal serial meeting in violation of the Brown Act, Such persons' unfamiliarity with the requirements of the Brown Act aggravate this potential problem because they may expect a legislative body member to be willing to commit to a position in a private conversation in advance of a meeting. To avoid violations arising from contacts with constituents, developers and lobbyists: ■ State the ground rules "up front." Ask if the person has talked, or intends to talk, with other members of the legislative body about the same subject. If the answer is "yes," then make it clear that the person should not disclose the views of other legislative body member(s) during the conversation. • Explain to the person that you will not make a final decision on ❑ matter prior to the meeting, For example: "State law prevents me from giving you a commitment outside ❑ noticed meeting. I will listen to what you have to say and give it consideration as I make up my mind." • Do more listening and asking questions than expressing opinions. If you disclose your thoughts about a matter, counsel the person not to share them with other members of the legislative body. ■ Be especially careful with discussions about matters involving "quasi- judicial" land use decisions such as subdivision maps, site development plans, conditional use permits, or variances. Consult with your city attorney or legal counsel before the meeting in order to avoid any potential problems involving illegal prejudice against the project or illegally receiving evidence about the project outside of the administrative record. C. Contacts with Fellow Members of the Same Legislative Body Direct contacts concerning local agency business with fellow members of the some legislative body - whether through face-to-face or telephonic conversations, notes, letters, online exchanges, e-mail with or to staff members - are the most obvious means by which an illegal serial meeting can occur. This is not to say that a member of a legislative body is precluded from discussing items of local agency business with another member of that legislative body outside of a meeting, as long as the communication does not involve a majority of the legislative body, no "meeting" has occurred. There is, however, always the risk that one participant in the communication will disclose the views Ralph M. Brown Act Page 7 ® 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act of the other participant to a third or fourth legislative body member. creating the possibility of a discussion of an item of business outside a noticed public meeting. Therefore, avoid discussing city business with a majority of the members of your legislative body, and communicating the views of other legislative body members outside a meeting. These suggested rules of conduct may seem unduly restrictive and impractical, and may make acquisition of important information more difficult or time-consuming. Nevertheless, following them will help assure that your conduct comports with the Brown Act's goal of achieving open government. If you have questions about compliance with the Act in any given situation, you should seek advice from your city attorney or legal counsel. Adherence to the foregoing guidelines is not a substitute for securing advice from your legal counsel. VIII. NOTICE, AGENDA AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS A. Time of Notice and Content of Agenda Two key provisions of the Brown Act which ensure the public's business is conducted openly are the requirements that legislative bodies publicly post agendas prior to their meetings, 54954.2, 54955, 54956, and 54957.5) and that no action or discussion may occur on items or subjects not listed on the posted agenda (§ 54954.2). The limited exceptions to the rule against discussing or taking action not on a posted agenda are discussed further below. Legislative bodies, except advisory committees and standing committees, are required to establish a time and place for holding regular meetings. § 54954(a). A "regular" meeting is a meeting that occurs on the legislative body's established meeting day. Agendas for a regular meeting must be publicly posted 72 hours in advance of the meeting in a place that is freely accessible to the public. Agendas must contain a brief general description of each item of business to be transacted or discussed at the meeting. § 54954.2(a). The description should inform the public of the "essential nature" of the matter, but need not exceed 20 words. San Diegans for Open Government v. City of Oceanside, 4 Cal. App. 5th 637 (2016) . Courts wilt uphold a challenge to the sufficiency of an agenda item description when the description provides fair notice of what the agency will consider. The San Diegans for Open Government case provides an example of a sufficient agenda description that provides fair notice. In San Diegans for Open Government, the Oceanside City Council approved a subsidy agreement with a hotel developer using the following agenda item description: Adoption of a resolution to approve: 1. An Agreement Regarding Real Property (Use Restrictions) between the City of Oceanside and 5❑ Malkin Properties Inc. to guarantee development and use of the Ralph M. Brown Act PClge 8 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Maio( Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act property as a full service resort consistent with the entitlements for the project; 2. An Agreement Regarding Real Property to provide a mechanism to share Transit Occupancy Tax (TOT) generated by the Project; 3. A Grant of Easement to permit construction of a subterranean parking garage under Mission Avenue; 4. A report required by AB 562 prepared by Paul Marra of Keyser Marston and Associates documenting the amount of subsidy provided to the developer, the proposed start and end date of the subsidy, the public purpose of the subsidy, the amount of the tax revenue and jobs generated by the project; and 5. A License Agreement to permit construction staging for the project on a portion of Lot 26, The court ruled that this agenda description complied with the requirements of Government Code Section 54954.2 because the agenda description expressly gave the public notice that the council would consider a fairly substantial development of publicly owned property as a hotel, that the City would share the transient occupancy tax generated by the project, and that the transaction would involve a subsidy by the City. Additional information, white helpful, was not necessary to provide fair notice of the essential nature of the action under state law. The Court found that the language of the agenda, considered as a whole, provided more than a "clue" that the City planned to provide the developer with a substantial and ongoing financial subsidy in exchange for the project. In contrast, in Hernandez v. Town of Apple Valley, 7 Cal, App. 5th 194 (2017), the court held that the Apple Valley Town Council's agenda description was insufficient, There, the Apple Valley Town Council adopted three resolutions that called for a special election related to an initiative to adopt ❑ commercial specific plan and the filing of arguments and rebuttal arguments for and against the initiative. In addition, the Town Council adopted a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") that authorized the acceptance of a gift from an interested party, Wal-Mart, to pay For the special election. The agenda description for the matter read "Wal-Mart Initiative Measure" and included a recommendation for action that read "[p]rovide direction to staff." The court reiterated that the Brown Act requires that each item of business be placed on the agenda. Specifically, the court highlighted that nothing in the agenda description, or even in the agenda packet, indicated that the Town Council was going to consider an MOU to accept a gift from Wal-Mart to pay for a special election to pass the initiative. The court concluded that the City violated the Brown Act by omitting the MOIL from the agenda description because the omission meant that the plaintiff was given no notice of the item of business. Agendas must also be posted on the local agency's website, if one exists, for City Council meetings, and meetings of any other legislative body where some members are City Council members and are compensated for their appearance. While the language of the 72 hour posting requirement appears absolute, the California Attorney General opined that technical difficulties, such as a power failure, cyber-attack, or other third - party interference that prevents a local agency from posting its agenda on its website for the full 72 hours will not necessarily preclude the legislative body from lawfully holding Ralph M. Brown Act Page 9 d 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act its meeting. 99 Ops. Cal. Afty. Gen. 11 (2016). Whether a public meeting may continue as scheduled requires a fact specific analysis, that turns on whether the local agency has otherwise "substantially complied" with the Brown Act's agenda posting requirements by properly posting a physical agenda and making other "reasonably effective efforts" (such as making the agenda available on social media or some other alternative website) to notify the public of the meeting. Please note that the adoption of a CEQA document, such as an environmental impact report or a negative declaration, by a Planning Commission or a City Council is a distinct item of business separate from the item approving the project and must be expressly described in an agenda. A "special" meeting is a meeting that is held at a time or place other than the time and place established for regular meetings. For special meetings, the "call and notice" of the meeting and the agenda must be posted, including in some cases on the local agency's website, at least 24 hours prior to the meeting, § 54956. Additionally, each member of the legislative body must personally receive written notice of the special meeting either by personal delivery or by "any other means" (such as facsimile, e-mail or U.S. mail) at least 24 hours before the time of the special meeting, unless they have previously waived receipt of written notice. Members of the press (including radio and television stations) and other members of the public can also request written notice of special meetings and, if they have, then that notice must be given at the same time notice is provided to members of the legislative body. An "emergency" meeting may be called to address certain emergencies, such as a terrorist act or crippling disaster, without complying with the 24-hour notice requirement. Certain requirements apply for notifying the press and for conducting closed sessions as part of those meetings, and except as specified, all other rules governing special meetings apply. § 54956.5. Both regular and special meetings may be adjourned to another time. Notices of adjourned meetings must be posted on the door of the meeting chambers where the meeting occurred within 24 hours after the meeting is adjourned. § 54955. If the adjourned meeting occurs more than five days after the prior meeting, a new agenda for that adjourned meeting must be posted 72 hours in advance of the adjourned meeting, § 54954.2(1b) (3). The Brown Act requires local agencies to mail the agenda or the full agenda packet to any person making ❑ written request no later than the time the agenda is posted or is delivered to the members of the body, whichever is earlier. A local agency may charge a fee to recover its costs of copying and mailing. Any person may make a standing request to receive these materials, in which event the request must be renewed annually. Failure by any requester to receive the agenda does not constitute grounds to invalidate any action taken at a meeting. § 54954.1. Ralph M, Brown Act Page 1C) © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act B. Action and Discussion on Non -agenda Items The Brown Act also ensures the public's business is conducted openly by restricting a legislative body's ability to deviate from posted agendas. The statute affords a legislative body limited authority to act on or discuss non -agenda items at regular meetings, but forbids doing so at special meetings. As a general rule, a legislative body may not act on or discuss any item that does not appear on the agenda posted for a regular meeting. § 54954.2. This rule does not, however, preclude a legislative body from acting on a non -agenda item that comes to the local agency's attention subsequent to the agenda posting which requires immediate action. In order to utilize this exception, the legislative body must make findings of both components of the exception by a two-thirds vote of those present (by unanimous vote if less than two-thirds of the body is present). This means that if four members of a five -member body are present, three votes are required to add the item; if only three are present, a unanimous vote is required. In addition, an item not appearing on an agenda may be added if the legislative body determines by a majority vote that on emergency situation exists. For purposes of this exception, the term "emergency situation" refers to work stoppages or crippling disasters that severely impair public health, safety, or both, In addition to the two general exceptions discussed above, a legislative body may also discuss non -agenda items at a regular meeting under the following five additional exceptions: • Members of the legislative body or staff may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed by persons during public comment periods. • Members of the legislative body or staff may ask a question for clarification, make a brief announcement or make a brief report on their own activities,* ■ Members of the legislative body may, subject to the procedural rules of the body, provide ❑ reference to staff or other resources for factual information; ■ Members of the legislative body may, subject to the procedural rules of the body, request staff to report back to the legislative body at a subsequent meeting concerning any matter; and ■ Members of the legislative body may, subject to the procedural rules of the body, take action to direct staff to place a matter of business on a future agenda. Therefore, spending a few minutes to discuss whether a matter should be placed on a future agenda or asking staff procedural questions is permissible. Cruz v. City of Culver City, 2 Cal.App. 5th 239 (2016). The legislative body may not, however, discuss non - agenda items to any significant degree. This means there should not be long or wide- ranging question and answer sessions on non -agenda items between the legislative body and the public, or between the legislative body and staff. It is important to follow Ralph M_ Brown Act Poge 11 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 of the Moior Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act these exceptions carefully and construe them narrowly to avoid tainting an important and complex action by a non-agendized discussion of fhe item. The Brown Act contains even more stringent regulations to restrict action on and discussion of non -agenda items at special meetings. In particular, the statute mandates that only business that is specified in the "call and notice" of the special meeting may be considered by the legislative body. § 54956. Notwithstanding, a special meeting may not be called to discuss compensation of a local agency executive. § 54956(b). C. Reporting of Actions The Brown Act mandates the public reporting of individual votes or abstentions by members of legislative bodies on any given motion or action. This requirement may be satisfied in most situations by reporting the individual vote or abstention of each member in the minutes of a meeting. § 54953. As of January 1, 2017, the Brown Act also requires that the legislative body orally report a summary of recommendations made with respect to the salary, salary schedule, or compensation paid to a local agency executive. The legislative body must issue the report at the some meeting in which the final action on compensation is being considered. § 54953(c). IX. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION A. Regular Meetings The Brown Act mandates that every agenda for a regular meeting provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the legislative body on any matter that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. § 54954.3(a). In addition. the Brown Act requires the legislative body to allow members of the public to comment on any item on the agenda either before or during the body's consideration of that item. § 54954.3(a). Some local agencies accomplish both requirements by placing ❑ general audience comment period at the beginning of the agenda where the public can comment on both agenda and non -agenda items. Others provide public comment periods as each item or group of items comes up on the agenda, and then leaves the general public comment period to the end of the agenda. Either method is permissible, though pubic comment on public hearing items must be taken during the hearing. The Brown Act allows a legislative body to preclude public comments on an agenda item in one limited situation -- where the item was considered by a committee, composed solely of members of the body, that held a meeting where public comments on that item were allowed. So, if the legislative body has standing committees (which are required to have agendized and open meetings with an opportunity for the public to comment on agenda items), and the committee has previously considered an item, then at the time the item comes before the full legislative body, the body may choose not to take additional public comments on that item. However, if the version presented to the full Ralph M. Brown Act Page 12 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act legislative body is different from the version presented to, and considered by, the committee, then the public must be given another opportunity to speak on that item at the meeting of the full body. § 54954.3. B. Public Comments at Special Meetings The Brown Act requires that agendas for special meetings provide an opportunity for members of the public to address the legislative body concerning any item listed on the agenda before or during the body's consderation of that item, § 54954.3(a). Unlike regular meetings, though, the legislative body does not have to allow public comment on non -agenda matters at a special meeting. C. Limitations on the Length and Content of Public Comments A legislative body may adopt reasonable regulations limiting the total amount of time allocated to each person for public testimony. Typical time limits restrict speakers to three or five minutes. If an individual utilizes a translator to give testimony and simultaneous translation equipment is not used, the legislative body must allot at least twice the standard amount of time to the speaker. A legislative body may also adopt reasonable regulations limiting the total amount of time allocated for public testimony on legislative matters, such as a zoning ordinance or other regulatory ordinance. § 54954.3(b). However, setting total time limits per item for any quasi-judicial matter, such as a conditional use permit application, is not recommended because the time restriction could violate the due process rights of those who were not able to speak to the body during the time allotted. The Brown Act precludes a legislative body from prohibiting public criticism of the policies, procedures, programs, or services of the local agency or the acts or omissions of the body. § 54954.3(c). This restriction does not mean that a member of the public may say anything during public testimony. if the topic of the public's comments falls outside the subject matter jurisdiction of the local agency, the legislative body may stop a speaker's comments. A legislative body also may adopt reasonable rules of decorum that preclude a speaker from disrupting, disturbing or otherwise impeding the orderly conduct of its meetings. § 54954.3(b). The right to publicly criticize a public official does not include the right to slander that official, though the line between criticism and slander is often difficult to determine in the heat of the moment. Care must be given to avoid violating the free speech rights of speakers by suppressing opinions relevant to the business of the legislative body. Finally, in some circumstances, the use of profanity may serve as a basis for stopping a speaker. It will depend, however, upon what profane words or comments are made and the context of those comments. Therefore, no one should be ruled out of order for profanity unless the language both is truly objectionable and causes a disturbance or disruption in the proceeding. Ralph M. Brown Act Page 13 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act D. Additional Rights of the Public The Brown Act grants the public the right to videotape or broadcast a public meeting, as well as the right to make a motion picture or still camera record of such meeting, § 54953.5(a). A legislative body may prohibit or limit recording of ❑ meeting, however, if the body finds that the recording cannot continue without noise, illumination, or view obstruction that constitutes, or would constitute, a disruption of the proceedings. § 54953.6. Any audio or videotape record of an open and public meeting that is made, for whatever purpose, by or at the direction of the local agency is a public record and is subject to inspection by the public consistent with the requirements of the Public Records Act. § 54953.5(b). The local agency must not destroy the tape or film record for at least 30 days following the date of the taping or recording. Inspection of the ❑udiotape or videotape must be made available to the public for free on equipment provided by the local agency. The Brown Act requires written material distributed to a majority of the body by any person to be provided to the public without delay, This rule is inapplicable, to attorney - client memoranda, the confidentiality of which was affirmed by the California Supreme Court in Roberts v. City of Palmdale, 5 Cal. 4th 363 (1993) . However, if non -privileged material is distributed during the meeting and prepared by the local agency, it must be available for public inspection of the meeting. If it is distributed during the meeting by ❑ member of the public, it must be made available for public inspection after the meeting. § 54957.5(c). If material related to an agenda item is distributed to a majority of the body less than 72 hours prior to an open session of a regular meeting, the writing must be made available at the same time for public inspection at a public office or location that has been designated in advance for such purpose. Each local agency must list the address of the designated office or location on the agendas for all meetings of the legislative body of that agency. § 54957.5(b). Although this Brown Act provision technically requires an agency to list the designated office address an closed session meeting agendas, it does not require an agency to make such closed session documents and materials available for public inspection. A local agency may also post all documents made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 54957.5(b) on the agency's Internet Web site. However, a local agency may not post the writings to its website in lieu of designating ❑ public office or location for inspection of physical copies of the documents. We recommend that local agencies implement the following procedures to comply with Section 54957.5(b): Place a binder at the agency's principal place of business next to the public counter agenda packet that identifies the contents as follows: "Disclosable public documents related to an open session agenda item on Ralph M. Brown Act Page 14 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act the Agenda Packet distributed by the [AGENCY] to a majority of the [LEGISLATIVE BODY] less than 72 hours prior to the meeting." On the agenda template for all meetings, there should be a standard Tooter or statement that indicates the following: Any disclosable public writings related to an open session item on a regular meeting agenda and distributed by the [AGENCY] to at least a majority of the [LEGISLATIVE BODY] less than 72 hours prior to that meeting are available for public inspection at the Counter at [AGENCY'S PLACE OF BUSINESS] located at [ADDRESS] and [optional] the Counter at the Library located at [LIBRARY ADDRESS] during normal business hours. [Optional] In addition, the Agency may also post such documents on the Agency's Web site at [WEB SITE ADDRESS]. On the [AGENCY'S] Web site, create a subfolder under the agenda packet folder that identifies the contents of the subfolder as follows: "Disclosable public documents related to an open session agenda item on the Agenda Packet distributed by the [AGENCY] to a majority of the [LEGISLATIVE BODY] less than 72 hours prior to the meeting." On all documents made available for public inspection pursuant to Section 54957.5(b), make a notation of the date when distributed to at least a majority of the legislative body and placed in the binder at agency's place of business, [optional] the Library, or [optional] on the agency's Web site. Charge customary photocopying charges for copies of such documents. One problem left unaddressed by Section 54957.5(b) is what to do when written materials are distributed directly to a majority of the legislative body without knowledge of staff, or even without the legislative body members knowing that a majority has received it. The law still requires these materials to be treated as public records. Thus, it is a good idea for at least one member of the legislative body to ensure that staff gets a copy of any document distributed to members of the legislative body so that copies can be made for the local agency's records and for members of the public who request a copy. X. CLOSED SESSIONS The Brown Act allows a legislative body to convene a "closed session" during a meeting in order to meet privately with its advisors on specifically enumerated topics. Sometimes people refer to closed sessions as "executive sessions," which is a holdover term from the statute's early days. Examples of business that may be conducted in closed session include personnel actions and evaluations, threats to public safety, labor negotiations, pending litigation, real estate negotiations, and consideration of a response to an audit report. §§ 54956.8, 54956.9, 54957, 54957.6, 54957.75. Political sensitivity of an item is not a lawful reason for a closed session discussion, Ralph M, Brown Act Page 15 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act The Brown Act requires that closed session business be described on the public agenda. Moreover, there is a `safe harbor" for using prescribed language to describe closed sessions in that legal challenges to the adequacy of the description are precluded when such language is used. § 54954.5. This so -tailed "safe harbor" encourages many local agencies to use a very similar agenda format, especially in light of a California Court of Appeal ruling that a local agency substantially complied with the Brown Act's requirement to describe closed session agenda items even though the notice referred to the wrong subsection of Section 54956.9. Castaic Lake Wafer Agency v. Newhall County Water District, 238 Cal.App. 4th 1 196 (2015). Audio recording of closed sessions is not required unless a court orders such recording after finding a closed session violation. § 54960. Closed sessions may be started in a location different from the usual meeting place as long as the location is noted on the agenda and the public can be present when the meeting first begins. Moreover, public comment on closed session items must be allowed before convening the closed session. After a closed session, the legislative body must reconvene the public meeting and publicly report certain types of actions if they were taken, and the vote on those actions. § 54957.1. There are limited exceptions for specified litigation decisions, and to protect the victims of sexual misconduct or child abuse. Contracts, settlement agreements or other documents that are finally approved or adopted in closed session must be provided at the time the closed session ends to any person who has made a standing request for all documentation in connection with a request for notice of meetings (typically members of the media) and to any person who makes a request within 24 hours of the posting of the agenda, if the requestor is present when the closed session ends. § 54957.1. One perennial area of confusion is whether a legislative body may discuss the salary and benefits of an individual employee (such as a city manager) as part of a performance evaluation session under Section 54957. It may not. However, the body may designate a negotiator or negotiators, such as two members of a five-mem ber legislative body, to negotiate with that employee, and then meet with the negotiator(s) in closed session under Section 54957.6 to provide directions on salary and compensation issues. The employee in question may not be present in such a closed session. The Brown Act prohibits attendees from disclosing confidential information obtained during a closed session, unless the legislative body authorizes the disclosure. Violations can be addressed through injunctions, disciplinary action, and referral to the grand jury. § 54963. XI. ENFORCEMENT There are both civil remedies and criminal misdemeanor penalties for Brown Act violations. The civil remedies include injunctions against further violations, orders nullifying any unlawful action, orders determining that an alleged act violated the Brown Act, orders determining the validity of any rule to penalize or discourage the expression of a member of the legislative body, and remedies for breaching closed session confidences. §§ 54960, 54960.1, 54960.2, 54963. Ralph M. Brown Act Page )6 Q 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Majof Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act The procedures for claiming there was ❑ Brown Act violation vary depending upon what the complaining party is seeking. if the complaining party is seeking to invalidate an action based on a violation of the Brown Act, the procedures for doing so are set forth in Section 54960.1, as summarized below. If the complaining party is merely seeking a determination that a Brown Act violation occurred ordesires the court to impose an order preventing further violations, the procedures for doing so are set forth in Section 54960.2, also as summarized below. Under Section 54960.1, prior to filing suit to obtain a judicial determination that an action is null and void because of an alleged Brown Act violation, the complaining party must make a written demand on the legislative body to cure or correct the alleged violation. The written demand must be made within 90 days after the challenged action was taken. However, if the challenged action was taken in open session and involves a violation of the agenda requirements of Section 54954.2, then the written demand must be made within 30 days. The legislative body is required to cure or correct the challenged action and inform the party who filed the demand of its correcting actions, or its decision not to cure or correct, within 30 days. The complaining party must file suit within 15 days after receipt of the written notice from the legislative body, or if there is no written response, within 15 days after the 30-day cure period expires. § 54960.1 (b). Under Section 54960.2, prior to filing suit to obtain a judicial determination that an alleged Brown Act violation occurred after January 1, 2013, the district attorney or interested person must submit a cease and desist letter to the legislative body clearly describing the legislative body's past action and the nature of the alleged violation within nine months of the alleged violation. Second, the legislative body may respond within 30 days, including responding with an unconditional commitment to cease, desist from, and not repeat the past action that is alleged to violate the Brown Act. If the legislative agency responds with an unconditional commitment, that commitment must be approved by the legislative body in open session at a regular or special meeting as a separate item of business not on the consent calendar, and must be in substantially the form set forth in Section 54960.2(c) (1). Also, a legislative body may resolve to rescind an unconditional commitment with proper notice to the public and to each person to whom the unconditional commitment was made. Upon rescission, the district attorney or any interested person may file an action pursuant to Section 54960(a). Finally, Section 54960.2 provides further deadlines and requirements that must be met when fling an action in connection with an unconditional commitment. § 54960.2. A member of a legislative body will not be criminally liable for a violation of the Brown Act unless the member intends to deprive the public of information which the member knows or has reason to know the public is entitled to under the Brown Act. § 54959. This standard became effective in 1994 and is a different standard from most criminal standards. Until it is applied and interpreted by a court, it is not clear what type of evidence will be necessary to prosecute a Brown Act violation. Ralph M. Brown Act Page 17 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Summary of the Major Provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act XII. CONCLUSION The Brown Act's many rules and ambiguities can be confusing, and compliance with it can be difficult. In the event that you have any questions regarding any provision of the law, you should contact your legal counsel for advice. Ralph M. Brown Act page 18 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 The Ralph M. Brown Act Updated including changes effective January 1, 2019 Ralph M.

Declaration of public policy In enacting this chapter, the Legislature finds and declares that the public commissions, boards and councils and the other public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted openly. The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created. Section 54950.5. Title of act This chapter shall be known as the Ralph M. Brown Act. Section 54951. "Local agency" As used in this chapter, "local agency" means a county, city, whether general law or chartered, city and county, town, school district, municipal corporation, district, political subdivision, or any board, commission or agency thereof, or other local public agency. Section 54952. "Legislative body" As used in this chapter, "legislative body" means: (a) The governing body of a local agency or any other local body created by state or federal statute. (b) A commission, committee, board, or other body of a local agency, whether permanent or temporary, decision -making or advisory, created by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body. However, advisory committees, composed solely of the members of the legislative body that are less than a quorum of the legislative body are not legislative bodies, except that standing committees of a legislative body, irrespective of their composition, which have a continuing subject matter jurisdiction, or a meeting schedule fixed by charter, ordinance, resolution, or formal action of a legislative body are legislative bodies for purposes of this chapter. (c) (1 ) A board, commission, committee, or other multimember body that governs a private corporation, limited liability company, or other entity that either: Ralph M. Brown Act Page 20 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2272599 Text of the Ralph M. Brown Act (A) Is created by the elected legislative body in order to exercise authority that may lawfully be delegated by the elected governing body to a private corporation, limited liability company, or other entity. (B) Receives funds from a local agency and the membership of whose governing body includes a member of the legislative body of the local agency appointed to that governing body as ❑ full voting member by the legislative body of the lacai agency. (2) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1), no board, commission, committee, or other multimember body that governs a private corporation, limited liability company, or other entity that receives funds from a local agency and, as of February 9, 1996, has a member of the legislative body of the local agency as a full voting member of the governing body of that private corporation, limited liability company, or other entity shall be relieved from the public meeting requirements of this chapter by virtue of a change in status of the full voting member to a nonvoting member.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT //RWG LAW Public Records Act Page I 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 COMPLIANCE WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT: KEY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The people have the right of access to information concerning the conduct of the people's business, and, therefore, the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies shot/ be open to public scrutiny. CAL, CONST. ART. I, § 3(B). In enacting this chapter, the Legisiature, mindful of the right of individuals to privacy, finds and declares that access to information concerning the conduct of the people's business is a fundamental and necessary right of every person in this state. GOV'T CODE § 6250, California's Public Records Act is a key part of the philosophy that government at all levels in this State must be open and accessible to all.' Under the Public Records Act, a local government agency must disclose virtually any public document; only a statutory exemption or a need for confidentiality that clearly outweighs the public's right to access will legally justify withholding a public document. The purpose of this Handbook is to provide a general overview of the Public Records Act and recent amendments to it, along with a general road map for compliance. This Handbook addresses the questions most frequently asked of us by our local government clients, I. WHAT IS THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT? The Public Records Act is a California statute that affords the public the right to inspect, and obtain a copy of, most of the information retained by State and local agencies in the course of business. The Public Records Act regulates the public's access to records and sets out the specific statutory circumstances under which particular records need not be disclosed. The Public Records Act states that public records are open to inspection at all times during the office hours of a local agency.2 1 Rogers v. Superior Ct, (City of Burbank), 19 Cat. App, 4th 469 (2 Dist. 19931, 2 Gov't Code § 6253(a). Public Records Act page, i © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part one: Compliance with the Public Records Act The California Constitution also guarantees that public records are open to public scrutiny.-, It provides that a law, such as the Public Records Act, should be "broadly construed" if it furthers the people's right of access to public records, and "narrowly construed" if it limits the right of access. II. WHAT RIGHTS DOES THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT AFFORD TO THE PUBLIC? Under the Public Records Act, every person has the right to inspect and to obtain a copy of any identifiable public record. It is irrelevant whether the person making the Public Records Act request already has possession of the public records requested.5 The term "person" includes individuals, and various types of business entities.6 A "person" need not be a citizen of California or of the United States to make use of the Public Records Act.7 A local agency must supply an exact copy of the record on request, unless it is "impracticable" to make an exact copy.8 The word "impracticable" in the Public Records Act does not necessarily refer to situations where a copying request would be "inconvenient" or time consuming to the agency. Rather, the term "impracticable" modifies the requirement that the agency provide an "exact" copy. If a requested document is subject to the Public Records Act, the agency must provide the best or most complete copy of that document reasonably possible.9 Any reasonably segregable portion must be made available after deletion of any portion exempt from disclosure.=c, The requirements of the Public Records Act are the minimum standards which must be met by local agencies. The Public Records Act specifically provides that agencies may adopt procedures to allow greater access to records, except where the law otherwise prohibits access.'+ The person who is the subject of ❑ particular record does not have ❑ specific right under the Public Records Act to prevent disclosure of any particular 3 CAL. CONST, art. 1, § 3(bj. 4 Gov't Code § 6253(a}. (b). 5 The motive of the requester seeking public records is immaterial; an individual already in possession of requested documents may seek the documents so he or she may publicly disseminate them without fear of Lability for doing so. Caldecott v. Superior Court, 243 Cal, App. 4th 212, 219 (4 Dist, 20151, 6 Both cities and City attorneys have been deemed "persons" under the Act. Los Angeles Unified School Dist. v. Superior Court (City of Long Beach), 151 Cal. App. 4th 759 (2 Dist. 2007) (holding that City, as well as the City attorney, were entitled to obtain records of school district relating to school construction project). 7 Gov't Code § 6252(c); Connell v. Superior Court (Infersource, Inc.). 56 Cal. App, 4th 601 (3 Dist. 19971. 8 Gov't Code § 6253(b). 9 See Rosenthal v. Hansen, 34 Cal, App. 3d 754 (3 Dist_ 19731 (holding that under the former Section 6256, an agency need not provide exact copies if doing so would be impracticable, but this does not excuse a public entity from producing the records at alll. 10 Gov't Code § 6253(a). i 1 Gov't Code § 6253(e). Public Records Act Page 2 02019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Cne: Compliance with the Public Records Act record.12 Even in cases where the subject of a particular record has argued that disclosure would violate the individual right to privacy guaranteed by the California Constitution, disclosure has been compelled.13 III. IS THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT RELATED TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT? Persons who request access to public records frequently reference the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") as the basis for their request. The F0IA is a federal statute that does not apply to local government agencies. However, the Public Records Act was modeled after the FOIA, and we recommend that agencies respond to otherwise valid records requests even if the requester cites the FDIA instead of the Public Records Act.14 IV. TO WHICH LOCAL AGENCIES DOES THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT APPLY? The Public Records Act applies to all local government agencies. Under the Public Records Act, a "local agency" includes a county; city, whether general law or chartered, city and county, school district; municipal corporation; district: political subdivision; any board, commission or agency of any of these; and certain non-profit organizations of local agencies which are supported by public funds.,5 V. WHAT ARE "PUBLIC RECORDS?" The Public Records Act defines "public records" as follows - 'Public records' includes any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or focal agency regardless of physical form or characteristics. The term "writing" means: any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of 12 LAPD v, Superior Court (Church of Scientology) , 65 Cal, App. 3d 661, 668 (2 Dist. 19771. 13 Poway Unified Sch. Dist. v. Superior Courf (Copley Press) , 62 Col. App. 4th 1496 (4 Dist. 19981. lA See ACLU v. [Deukmejian, 32 Cal, 3d 440. 447 (1982) (Public Records Act modeled on FdIA, judicial construcfion and legislative history of federal acf illuminate the interpretation of its California counterpart); Cook v. Craig, 55 Col. App. 3d 773, 781 (3 Dist. 1976) (noting the similarity between the provisions of state and federal law). 15 Gov't Code § 6252(a). Public Records Act Page 3 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compliance with the Pubfic Records Act communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored.1� These definitions encompass much more than written or printed documents. Public records include computer data, and an agency must provide computer records in any electronic format in which the agency holds the information. If a requester asks for the records in a particular format, the agency must provide the records in that format, provided it is a format used by the agency to create copies for its own use or for provision to other agencies unless an exception applies.17 Note, however, that computer software developed by a local agency is not a "public record" subject to the Public Records Act.13 On the other hand, a requester's rights under the Public Records Act are not unlimited. A focal agency is not required to create a document or compile a list in response to a request under the Public Records Act.19 While these definitions are general, over the years the courts have both broadened and limited the scope of the definition of "public record." First, it is clear that the term "public records" encompasses more than simply those documents that public officials are required by law to keep as official records. Rather, courts have held that a public record is one that is kept because it is "necessary or convenient to the discharge of [an] official duty."2o Second, courts have observed that merely because the writing is in the possession of the local agency, it is not automatically a public record. It must relate to the conduct of the public's business.21 Thus, personal notes and personal records, such as shopping lists or letters from friends that are totally void of public business, are not public records.22 In addition, it is important to note that a record need not be a "document" to fall within the ambit of the Public Records Act, A public record is subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act "regardless of its physical form or characteristics."23 Further, local agencies are obligated to determine whether a public records request seeks copies of disclosable public records in the "possession" of the i6 Gov't Code § 6252(e), (91, 17 Gov't Code § 6253.9. For further discussion of the exception to this rule. see Part Two. Electronic Records, Section II.B. "Metadata" of this Handbook. 18 Gov't Cade § 6254.9, 19 Based upon the definition of "writing." Gov't Code § 6252(g), and the requirement that a requested record be "identifiable," Gov't Code § 6253(b); see also Sander v. Superior Court, 26 Cal. App, 5th 651, 665-66 (1 Dist. 2018), 20 Braun v.

App, 3d at 774. 23 Gov't Code § 6252(e). Public Records Act Page 4 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compliance with the Public Records Act agency.2a On occasion, a local agency prepares, uses, or owns a document containing information related to the conduct of the public's business, but does not physically possess it, such as when ❑ local agency hires a private consultant to conduct work on behalf of the agency. When the public record Is in the possession of a private consultant or sub -consultant who does work for the local agency, the contractual relationship between the local agency and consultant or sub -consultant will likely determine whether the local agency is in possession of the documents.25 In Community Youth Athletic Center v, City of National City, the court found that under the contract between the City and its consultant, the City had the right to possess and control the record that was the subject of a public records request, even if that local agency had not previously enforced its ownership right.)6 The court held that the City had an obligation "to make reasonable efforts to facilitate the location and release of the information."27 The City's failure to assert its contractual right to obtain the record from the consultant violated the Public Records Acf.2x On the other hand, in Anderson - Barker v. Superior Court of Los Angeles City., the court held that a city's ability to access electronically -stored data did not equate to ❑ form of possession of the data when a city does not direct what information a third party contractor places on its databases, and has no authority to modify the data in any way.29 Similarly, in Consolidated Irrigation District v. Superior Court, the court found that the City had no control over a sub -consultant's records.3o The sub -consultant had been hired by the City's primary consultant, and based on the facts in that case, the City had no obligation under the Public Records Act to obtain and produce the records of the sub -consultant. VI. HOW DOES A LOCAL AGENCY DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF A PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST? Most public records requests are straightforward. The public is familiar with records regularly kept by ❑ local agency, such as meeting minutes, staff reports, financial reports, and other documents discussed at public meetings. Requests for those records are easy to fulfill. Many of these records may be available on a 4ocal agency's website, and the Public Records Act allows a local agency to satisfy a request for public records by directing the requester to that website.31 Sometimes, the public is unfamiliar with the types of records maintained by local 24 Gov't Code § 6253(c). 25 Consolfdated Irrigation District v. Superior Court (City of Selma), 205 Cal. App. 4th 697, 709-1 1 (5 Dist. 2012); Community Youth Athletic Center v. City of Notional City, 220 Cal. App. 4th 1385, 1427-29 (4 Dist. 20131; see aiso Regents of the University of Colftomia v. Superior Court, 222 Cal. App, 4th 383. 398 (1 Dist. 2013j, 26 Community Youth Athletic Center, 220 Cal. App. 4th at 1428, 27 Id. at 1429. 29 id. 29Anderson-Borker v. Superior Court of Los Angeles Cty., 2019 WL 27605 (2 Dist. Jan. 22, 2019). 30 Consolidated Irrigation District, 205 Cal. App. 4th at 711. 31 Gov't Code § 6253. Public Records Act Page 5 m 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compliance with the Public Records Act agencies. The requester may not be able to provide the specificity necessary to identify a public record, or the request may be so broadly stated that a local agency cannot reasonably determine which records fall within the scope of the request. Under those circumstances, the Public Records Act imposes duties on both local agencies and requesters. Local agencies must assist a requester to formulate a "focused and effective request that reasonably describes an identifiable record or records," by following certain procedural requirements.32 Likewise, the requester is obligated to engage in this process, and communicate to the custodian of records the scope of the public information requested. Both the local agency and the requester must be reasonable in this process.33 VII. CAN A LOCAL AGENCY RELINQUISH ITS PUBLIC RECORDS ACT OBLIGATIONS TO SOMEONE ELSE? A local agency cannot sell or provide a public record subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act to a private entity in a manner that prevents the local agency from providing the record directly.34 For example, the county recorder cannot transfer all birth and death records to a private company and insist that the public obtain birth certificates from the private entity. Similarly, a local agency may not enter into ❑ contract that allows another party to control the disclosure of information that is subject to the Public Records Act.K, For example, a contract provision that requires the consent of a contractor before a local agency may release a public record prepared by the contractor violates the Public Records Act, Additionally, if a local agency enters into a contract that requires a private entity to review, audit, or report on any aspect of the local agency, that contract must be made available to the public upon request, unless the contract is exempt from disclosure pursuant to another exemption in the Public Records Act. iA VIII. MUST A PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUEST BE MADE IN WRITING, OR MAY IT BE MADE ORALLY? Nothing in the Public Records Act requires a member of the public to place his or her request for public records in writing.37 While many local agencies provide forms on their website or at their offices for making a written Public Records Act 32 Gov't Code § 6253.1. Further discussion of these procedural requirements is in section X, below. 33 Comm unity Youth Athletic Center v. National City, 220 Cal, App. 4th 1385, 1427 (4 Dist. 2013). 34 Gov't Code § 6270(a). 35 Gov't Code § 6253.3. 36 Gov't Code § 6253,31, 37 Los Angeles Times u. Alameda Corridor Transp. Authority, 88 Cal. App, 4th 1381. 1392 (2 Dist. 2001 ). Public Records Act Page 6 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One; Compliance with the Pubic Records Act request, ❑ requester is not required to use the form offered. An oral request is sufficient to trigger the requirements of the Public Records Act. Additionally, an argumentative or disruptive requester cannot be permanently banned from the premises by a local agency or forced to make their requests in writing.3p However, the right to inspect public records is subject to the implied rule of reason that enables the custodian of public records to formulate regulations necessary to prevent interference with the orderly functioning of the agency's office.39 If faced with a loud or angry person who is making an oral request, and the records are not immediately available, it is advisable for staff to write down the request and tell the requester the agency will respond in writing within the time limits specified in the Public Records Act. Your City attorney can provide additional guidance in the event a member of the public is repeatedly abusive towards staff. IX. WHAT PUBLIC RECORDS ARE EXEMPT FROM DISCLOSURE UNDER THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT? A. Disclosure of Exempt Records Waives Confidentiality The Public Records Act specifically exempts a number of categories of records from disclosure requirements. If documents are exempt from disclosure, it is important that confidentiality be maintained. Once an otherwise exempt record is knowingly released to any member of the public, disclosure constitutes a waiver of the exemption for that record, and the record must be provided to any subsequent requesting member of the public.40 This waiver ensures a public agency does not carry out "selective disclosure," wherein some members of the public are provided the right of access to specific records, while some requests for the some records are denied by the public agency for the same materials.,, There are a few situations where the knowing disclosure of an otherwise exempt record does not constitute a waiver of exemption. Exemptions are not waived when disclosures are made: • Through discovery procedures associated with lawsuits or in court proceedings; • Pursuant to a statute that limits disclosure for specified purposes; 3s Galbiso v, Orosi Public Utility District, 167 Cal. App. 4th 1063, 1088-89 (5 Dist. 2008). 39 &uce v. Gregory, 65 Col. 2d 666. 676 (1967); Rosenthal v. Hansen, 34 Cal. App. 3d 754, 761 (19731; 64 ops, Cal, Atty. Gen. 317 (1981). Q Gov't Code § 6254.5. 41 block Pon ther Party v. Kehoe, 42 Col. App. 3d 646, 658 (3 Dist. 1974), Public Records Act page 7 Q 2019 Richards. Watson R Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compliance with the Public Records Act • When not required by law and prohibited by formal action of the elected legislative body of the local agency; or • To another government agency that agrees to treat the records as confidential.42 The California Supreme Court held that a public agency's inadvertent disclosure resulting from human error does not waive an exemption.43 In Ardon v. City of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles inadvertently disclosed several attorney - client and attorney work product documents in response to a PRA request. The requester was an attorney actively involved in pending litigation against the City.44 After becoming aware of the inadvertent disclosure, the City filed a motion in court seeking the return of the privileged materials.4 The California Supreme Court held that the Public Records Act's waiver provision- applied only to intentional and not inadvertent disclosure.4' The court justified this distinction by finding that the City of Los Angeles had not engaged in selective disclosure: "[r]ather, it seeks no disclosure; it is trying to force plaintiff's attorney to return the privileged documents unread."48 The California Supreme Court's decision in Ardon v. City of Los Angeles allows a public agency to argue that a disclosure was inadvertent and ask for return of exempt records that were released in error. However, nothing in the Public Records Act compels the requester to return the records. Instead, the public agency must go to court to obtain a judicial order directing the requester to return or destroy the inadvertently disclosed records.49 This presents a number of problems. First, the circumstances surrounding the dissemination of those materials would have to be evaluated on a case -by -case basis by the reviewing court.;c The court may not agree with the public agency's assertion that the disclosure was inadvertent. Second, if the exempt records were given wide- spread distribution before the error was found, a court may decide not to order return of the records. Once the information is in the public sphere, the bell cannot be unrung. Third, it is costly to g❑ to court to seek injunctive relief. Consequently, public agencies should continue to conduct a thorough and exhaustive review of responsive documents before releasing any materials in response to a Public Records Act request. The California Supreme Court 42 Gov't Code § 6254.5. Additional exceptions apply to specific state agencies. 43 Ardon v. City of Los Angeles. 62 Cal. 4th 1176 (2016). 44 Ardon, 62 Cal. 4th at 1180-82. a5 Id. at 1181. 46 Gov't Code § 6254.5. 47 .Ardon. 62 Cal, 4th a1 1180. 48 Id. at 1185-86. 49 See Newark Unified School District v.

Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port One: Compliance with the Public Records Act acknowledged that its decision was limited to "truly inadvertent disclosures and must not be abused to permit the type of selective disclosure" prohibited by the Public Records Act.4, Further, the California Supreme Court emphasized that ❑ public agency's own characterization of its intent is not disposifive.`-- The best practice continues to be to complete a thorough review before releasing responsive records. B. Statutory Exemptions for Confidential Records The following is a list of the statutory exemptions. This list is not exhaustive. (1) Public agency employees' personal information. Gov't Code § 6254.3. Recent legislation has expanded protections for specified personal information of all public agency employees. The home addresses, personal cellular telephone numbers and birth dates of all public agency employees are not considered to be public records subject to disclosure, except in limited circumstances. The Public Records Act also requires local agencies to redact social security numbers from records before disclosing the records to the public in response to a Public Records Act request.53 (2) Referendum, recall and initiative petitions and related material. Gov't Code § 6253.5. Election -related petitions and all memoranda prepared by the county elections officials in their examination of the petitions indicating which registered voters signed the petitions are strictly confidential. These materials may be viewed only by elections officials and their deputies. Other officials, including agency attorneys, must obtain a court order to view petitions. If the elections officials determine that a petition is legally insufficient, petition proponents and their representatives designated in writing must be permitted to review these materials. (3) The identity of persons who have requested bilingual ballots or ballot pamphlets. Gov't Code § 6253.6. 51 Ardon, 62 Cal. 4th at 1 190- 52 Id, 53 Gov't Code § 6254.29. Public Records Act f'aye 9 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compfia rice with the Public Records Act (4) Preliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intra-agency memoranda. Gov't Code § 6254(a). Public officials should be aware that preliminary drafts and notes, along with interagency and intra-agency memoranda, are exempt from disclosure as public records if those documents are not customarily retained by the local agency in the ordinary course of business and the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.sn In considering whether to use this exemption, agencies should determine whether the disclosure of a preliminary draft, note, or interagency or intra- agency memorandum would further the interest of the Act in open government. The fact that the document is merely a step in the process and does not provide important information about the public's business probably weighs in favor of nondisclosure. The key questions in this area generally may be boiled down to whether a draft, note, or interagency or intra-agency memorandum is one which: Is not normally kept by the agency in the ordinary course of business; • Is not prepared or kept to document or memorialize the day-to-day transaction of the public's business; ■ Is merely a temporary step in the process of preparing a final document, reaching a final decision, or determining ❑ course of action; and Would expose the agency's decision -making process if disclosed," and the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. If the document qualifies under all four categories above, the document probably is exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act. Documents that do not satisfy one or more of the categories above probably are public records that must be disclosed unless another exemption applies. You should keep in mind, however, that any doubt or question in this regard likely will be decided in favor of disclosure of the record. 54 Gov't Code § 6254(a) . 55 Citizens for a Better Environment v. Dep't of Food and Agriculture, 171 Cal. App. 3d 704, 715-16 (3 Dist, 1985) (concluding that "[tlhe interest in fostering robust agency debate" is the only public interest that can justify nondisclosure under Section 6254(a)), Public Records Act Page la 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part one: Compliance with the Public Records Act In discussing whether a record has not been retained in the ordinary course of business, one court observed, "[i]f preliminary materiafs are not customarily discarded or have not in fact been discarded as is customary they must be disclosed."56 One of the purposes of this condition is to prevent "secret law," that is, an undisclosed collection of written rules guiding the agency's decisions.57 Consequently, a record that must be retained pursuant to a local agency's records retention schedule, policies or customs does not fall within this exemption. For example, if a policy decision is made to retain drafts in order to document the bargaining history after an agreement is negotiated; those drafts likely are not exempt under Section 6254(a). Also, if it is permissible under an agency's records retention schedule to destroy preliminary documents, but the agency retained such a document after the final report Is prepared, the preliminary document arguably is not exempt under Section 6254(a). (5) Records pertaining to pending litigation to which the agency is a party. Gov't Code § 6254(b). Under this exemption, records actually created by an agency for its own use in litigation are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act.Ss Previously created or disclosed records may not be retroactively re-classified as being exempt under this Section.-5y Generally, courts will examine the "dominant purpose" behind the document's creation.6,) Documents prepared "by a public entity for its own use in anticipation of litigation, which documents it reasonably has an interest in keeping to itself until litigation is finalized" are protected by the exemption,61 Thus, while documents created prior to the commencement of litigation appear to receive greater scrutiny to determine their dominant purpose, the exemption can apply to documents created before litigation has commenced, that is, before a claim has been made with the local agency under the Government Claims Act or a complaint filed with a court. Once litigation is concluded, however, the exemption will no longer apply.62 This exemption also applies to litigation -related documents, even if not created by an agency, when sought by persons or entities not a party to the litigation and which the parties to the litigation do not intend to be revealed outside the 56Id. at 714. 57 Id. of 714 n.7. 58 Foiirley V.

This exemption does not cover deposition transcripts because they are available to the public under another statute.63 And where a plaintiff generally is required to file a claim under the Government Claims Act to initiate litigation against a local agency, the actual claim form filed with the local agency is not exempt under this Section as "[t]here is no unfair disadvantage [in the pending litigation] to the public entity from disclosure of the mere claim form,"6h (6) Personnel, medical or similar records. Gov't Code §§ 6254(c); 6254.3. When the disclosure of personnel, medical or similar files would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, this exemption applies. In determining whether personnel records should be disclosed, courts first decide whether disclosure would compromise the individual's substantial privacy interest. If it does, the court determines whether the potential harm to those interests caused by disclosure outweighs the public interest in disclosure.6i As will be discussed below, the California Supreme Court has concluded that public employees in general have a significantly reduced expectation of privacy in their salaries, and that the strong public interest in knowing how the government spends its money justifies disclosure of salary information.6, And at least one appellate court has found that where the public employee is in a position of authority, such as a superintendent of a school district, the individual has "a significantly reduced expectation of privacy in the matters of his [or her] public employment. "67 This exemption for personnel, medical or similar records does not justify withholding employment agreements. By statute, employment agreements between a local agency and any public official or public employee is a public record not subject to the exemptions of Sections 6254 or 6255 of the Government Code.68 This exemption for personnel records also does not justify withholding personnel records concerning incidents involving the discharge of a firearm at a person by 6:3 Board of Trustees of California State Univ. v.

In International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers v. Superior Court, (Contra Costa Newspapers, Inc.),70 the California Supreme Court held that individually identifiable salary information is not exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act, the California Constitution or the Penal Code. In this case, a newspaper sought disclosure from the City of Oakland of names, job titles and gross salaries of City employees earning $100,000 or more each year, including overtime. The City provided salary and overtime information for each job classification but refused to provide salary information linked to individual employees. The newspaper sued to obtain disclosure of the records under the Public Records Act. The Supreme Court held that a public entity's payroll expenditures are public records, and that disclosure of salary records for City employees earning $100,000 or more each year is not an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.71 With regard to peace officers, the Supreme Court rejected the police union's argument that Penal Code Sections 832.7 and 832.8 bar disclosure of the amount of a peace officer's salary.72 The Supreme Court ruled that salary information of peace officers does not constitute "personnel records" under Penal Code Sections 832.7 or 832.8, and is not information obtained from personnel records.73 As such, the Penal Code does not mandate that peace officer salary information be excluded from disclosure under the Public Records Act. The Supreme Court also rejected the argument that each public records request must be evaluated on a case -by -case basis to evaluate the individual employee's privacy interests and the particular public interest of Issue.74 The 69 Penal Code §§ 832.7, 832.& 70 In tem a tic n al Federation. 42 Cal. 4th 319 (2007). 71 The Supreme Court also narrowed the precedential value of Teamsters Local 656 v. Priceless. LLC- 112 Cal. App, 4th 1500 (2003), review denied (Jan. 22, 2004). The appellate court in Priceless held that names, job titles, and W-2 information of City employees was confidential information and not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act because the City in question had a prior practice of treating that information as confidential. To the extent that Priceless could be read as holding that a City's practice of refusing to disclose certain information had created a privacy interest in those records, the California Supreme Court disagreed and refused to adopt that holding. International Federation, 42 Cal. 4th at 336. 12 id., at 343. 73ld. 741d. at 336. Public Records Act Page 13 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part one: Compliance with the Pubic Records Act Court stated that this would reverse the presumption of openness of public records mandated by the Public Records Act, and the public entity bears the burden of demonstrating that particular records are exempt.75 The Court, however, left open the possibility that a public entity may, on a case -by -case basis, decline to release records pertaining to individual employees where anonymity is essential to their safety, such as undercover narcotics officers. Although this decision arose in the context of a public records request for the names and salaries of City employees earning more than $ i 00,000 per year, the Supreme Court's reasoning may have general application to salary information for all City employees, regardless of level of salary. In a companion case, Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training v. Superior Court, the California Supreme Court addressed the confidentiality of certain non -salary information.,, In this case, the Commission refused to provide the names, employing departments, and hiring and termination dates of peace officers from its database. The Commission maintains the database to monitor participating law enforcement departments' compliance with Peace Officer Standards and Training ("POST") regulations. The California Supreme Court held that the names, employing departments, and hiring and termination dates of peace officers are not confidential under Penal Code Sections 832.7 and 832.8, and are not exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act. The California Supreme Court, however, remanded the case to the lower courts to allow the Commission the opportunity to establish that information regarding particular officers or categories of officers should be excised from the disclosed records in order to protect the safety or efficacy of those peace officers. (7) Arrest records, complaint reports, investigatory and security files. Gov't Code § 6254(f). This exemption strictly limits the information required to be disclosed about arrests, complaints and investigations.,' Records of complaints to or investigations conducted by police agencies generally may be withheld. 75 id. at 336-37. 76 Commission an Peace Officer Standards and Training v.

Haynie v. Superior Court, 26 Cat. 4th 1061, 1072 (2011). In American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California u. Superior Court, the Calitomia Supreme Court declined to extend the meaning of "investigation" to cover bulk raw data obtained as part of a mass personal data Collection. because there was no targeted "investigation" into a particular criminal act. 3 Col. 51h 1032, 1041. Public Records Act Page 14 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part one: Compliance with the Public Records A c I Investigatory or security files compiled by a local agency for law enforcement or licensing purposes are also covered by the exemption, provided "there is a concrete and definite prospect of criminal law enforcement proceedings."78 This exemption extends indefinitely, even after investigations are concluded.7" In most cases, agencies are required to disclose to the public8o the full name, current address and occupation of every person arrested by the agency, including a general physical description, along with the date and time of arrest. This disclosure, however, is not required where it would endanger the safety of a person involved in an investigation or jeopardize the successful completion of the pending investigation or a related investigation. While investigations conducted by police agencies are generally not disclosable, investigations of police agencies may be subject to PRA requests. When releasing records pertaining to investigations of police agencies, the agency must redact or otherwise withhold any information that is part of a police officer's confidential personnel file.8 Counsel should be consulted to ensure that confidential information is not disclosed. In addition, local agencies are required to disclose to the public the time, substance and general location of all complaints and requests for assistance, and the time and nature of the agency's response. However, no disclosure may be made to any arrested person or defendant in a criminal action of the address and telephone number of any person who is a victim or witness in an alleged offense.82 Further, this disclosure is not required where it would endanger the safety of a person involved in an investigation or jeopardize the successful completion of the pending investigation or a related investigation. In all cases, the address of a victim of an alleged sex offense must be withheld.' Additionally, the name of the victim of an alleged sex offense must be withheld If the victim or a minor victim's parent or guardian requests it be withheld. While the law refers to "sex offenses," the crimes listed in Section 6254(f) include sexual assault, child molestation, child abuse, hate crimes and stalking. The Public Records Act prohibits the commercial use of arrest and arrestee information, and requires that persons requesting such information sign a declaration, under penalty of perjury, that the request is made for a scholarly, journalistic, political, or governmental purpose, or for investigation by a licensed 78 Dixon v.

Now, certain peace officer personnel records and records relating to specified incidents, complaints, and investigations must be made available to the public under the Public Records Act. Penal Code sections 832.7 and 832.8 now provide that an agency must disclose any record relating to the report, investigation, or finding of: ■ an incident involving the discharge of a firearm at a person by a peace officer or custodial officer. ■ an incident in which the use of force by a peace officer or custodial officer against a person resulted in death or in great bodily injury. ■ When a sustained finding was made that a peace officer or custodial officer engaged in sexual assault involving a member of the public. • When a sustained finding was made of dishonesty by a peace officer or custodial officer directly relating to the reporting, investigation, or prosecution of a crime, or directly relating to the reporting of, or investigation of misconduct by, another peace officer or custodial officer, including, but not limited to, any sustained finding of perjury, false statements, filing false reports, destruction, falsifying, or concealing of evidence.R7 As of July 1, 2019, the Act will require an agency to disclose audio and video recordings that relate to a "critical incident." A recording relates to a critical 84 Gov't Code § 6254(f) (3), A commercial publisher of criminal records challenged the constitutionality of this limitation on disclosure, but the United States Supreme Court held that the statute did not violate the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Police and code enforcement staff should familiarize themselves with the complete requirements of this Section prior to responding to requests for arrest and complaint information. (8) Information required from any taxpayer in connection with the collection of local taxes. Gov't Code § 6254(i). This exemption applies to information that a city or other local agency requires from any taxpayer in connection with the collection of local taxes if that information is received in confidence and the disclosure of the information to other persons would result in unfair competitive disadvantage to the person supplying the information. One frequent example of this is the submittal of sales or income information under ❑ business license tax requirement where the city has indicated in its business license tax ordinance that the financial information provided will be kept confidential. If the business license is required by ordinance to list the amount of tax paid and be posted at the place of business, however, the amount of tax paid arguably is not confidential. (9) Library circulation records. Gov't Code § 6254(j). While this exemption protects from disclosure library circulation records kept for the purpose of identifying the borrower of items available in libraries, it is not applicable to records of fines imposed on the borrowers. (10) Records exempt from disclosure under other laws including, but not limited to, the Evidence Code sections relating to privilege. Gov't Code § 6254(k). This provision of the Public Records Act exempts from disclosure every document held by a local agency that is legally privileged or confidential under some law outside the Public Records Act, The most common} example of this exemption protects documents subject to the attorney -client privilege or the attorney work - product doctrine. It is important to note that neither the Public Records Act nor 88 Section 62541fj (4), effective July 1, 2019. Public Records Act Page 17 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 226503) Part One: Ccmpriance with the Public Records Act the Brown Act abrogate those important privileges for communications between a local agency and its legal counsel.8y For example, in Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors v. Superior Court, the Supreme Court ruled that the attorney -client privilege protects the confidentiality of invoices for legal work in pending and active legal matters.9u The Court reasoned that such invoices are so closely related to attorney -client communications that they may reveal legal strategy or consultation. The Court emphasized, however, that the attorney -client privilege does not categorically shield everything in a billing invoice from PRA disclosure. This case also reaffirms the principle that the Public Records Act does not permit public agencies to withhold an entire document that contains both exempt and nonexempt information. On this point, the Supreme Court ruled that agencies must use "the equivalent of a surgical scalpel to separate those portions of a record subject to disclosure from privileged portions" unless records are not "reasonably segregable. Further, the Court stressed that any ambiguity must be construed in "whichever way will further the people's right of access."92 On remand, the Court of Appeal clarified that specific billing entries and descriptions of work contained in attorney invoices are not subject to disclosure under the PRA, whether they related to pending, ongoing or long -concluded legal matters. The Court further found that cumulative fee totals contained in attorney invoices for pending or ongoing legal matters are also protected from disclosure by the attorney -client privilege. And finally, it found that cumulative fee totals for matters concluded long ago may be subject to disclosure only if the cumulative fee totals do not reveal anything about the legal consultation or provide any insight into legal strategy.,?' Whether or not any particular fee total must be disclosed is a factual inquiry for the trial Court,V4 While a full discussion of attorney -client privilege and attorney work product is outside the scope of this Handbook, it is worth noting that one court held that a city waived those privileges for communications it sent to a developer prior to approval of a development project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).95 The court held that the "common interest doctrine," which generally allows disclosure of privileged communications to third parties with a common interest in ❑ legal matter, did not apply to prevent the city's waiver.96 89 Roberts v.

Public Records Act Page 18 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port One: Compliance with the Public Records Act As a result, the city was required to include its attorneys' communications with the developer in the administrative record it prepared, In light of this opinion, local agencies should be cautious in sharing documents and legal opinions prepared by the agency's attorney with a project developer, and recognize that in the event it does share such documents and opinions of its attorneys, those disclosures likely waive the agency's privilege. In tabor and Workforce Development Agency v. Superior Court, the Court of Appeal extended the protection afforded by Section 6254(k) to documents revealing the deliberative process of an agency, even going so for as to prevent the disclosure of the identities of persons with whom the agency confidentially communicated, and the general subject matter of the communications.y' Determining which other confidentiality laws are incorporated into the Public Records Act has always been difficult and time-consuming. In 1998, the Legislature attempted to address this problem by enacting a statute that lists most of the exemptions found in other laws.98 The list begins at Government Code Section 6276 and continues for more than 20 pages. Although the Public Records Act cautions that this list may not be complete, if is a helpful list. Two 1995 Court of Appeal decisions99 illustrate how documents made confidential by another law are exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act. Both courts found that information relating to complaints against peace officers is confidential and a part of that peace officer's personnel file under Penal Code Section 832.7, and therefore exempt from disclosure under the Public Records Act. More recently, the Court of Appeal held these complaints, along with any other records generated in connection with possible administrative discipline, remain exempt from disclosure even when contained in a report investigating possible criminal wrongdoing and otherwise disclosable under the public records requests.luo Please note, however, that Penal Code Section 832.7 relating to disclosure of peace officer records was substantially amended, effective January 1, 2019, as discussed on page 17 of this Handbook, 97 Labor and Workforce Development Agency v Superiar Court, 19 Cal.

Public Records Act Page 19 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part One: Compliance with the Public Records Act (11) Personal financial information required of licensees. Gov't Code § 6254(n). When a local agency requires that applicants for licenses, certificates or permits submit personal financial data, that information is confidential. This exemption, however, does not apply to financial information filed by a franchisee to justify a rate increase, presumably because those affected by a rate increase have ❑ right to know its basis.101 The term "license" was narrowly construed by the court in San Gabriel Tribune v. Superior Ct. to exempt financial information of applicants whose business with the agency is only public because they must comply with licensing requirements and regulations, To give effect to the Public Records Act policy that favors disclosure over secrecy in government, the court concluded that a franchisee is akin to a contractual relationship and is not an applicant for a license under Section 4254(n). (12) Terrorist assessment reports. Gov't Code § 6254(aa). A document prepared that assesses ❑ local government's vulnerability to terrorist attacks or other criminal acts intended to disrupt the local agency's operations is exempt from disclosure if the document is prepared for distribution or consideration in a closed session of the local agency. (13) Voter registration information. Gov't Code § 6254.4. The home address, telephone number, email address, precinct number and prior registration information shown on voter registration cards is confidential. Disclosure of that information is permitted only to candidates and campaigns, and to any person for election, scholarly, journalistic, or political purposes pursuant to Section 2194(a) (3) of the Elections Code. The driver's license number, social security number, and signature of the voter shown on the voter registration card are confidential and cannot be disclosed to any person. We believe that this exemption extends to any document that by law must include the information made confidential by this Section, including applications for absentee ballots and returned absentee ballot packages.

Gov't Code § 6254.16. The name, credit history, utility usage data, home address, and telephone number of utility customers of local agencies are exempt from disclosure, except in certain circumstances. This information may be disclosed to authorized family members of the person to whom the information pertains or his or her agent, to an officer or employee of another governmental agency when necessary to perform official duties, or upon court order or the request of law enforcement for an ongoing investigation. In addition, the information may be disclosed if the utility customer has used the utility services in a manner inconsistent with applicable local utility usage policies. if the utility customer is a public official with authority to determine utility usage policies, the information may be disclosed except that the home address of an appointed official may not be disclosed without the official's consent. Lastly, the information may be disclosed if the public interest in disclosure of the information clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure. (15) Unauthorized Internet posting of officials' addresses and telephone numbers. Gov't Code § 6254.21. The posting of the home address or telephone number of any elected or appointed official on the internet by a local agency without that individual's written permission is prohibited. The definition of "elected or appointed officials" includes, but is not limited to, members of a City council, members of a board of supervisors, mayors, City attorneys, police chiefs and sheriffs. It is a misdemeanor for any person to post such information with the intent to cause bodily injury to the official, his or her spouse or child. The official may bring an action for damages under certain circumstances. If bodily injury occurs as a result of the posting, then the posting could become a felony. If a person, business, or association publicly posts on the infernef the home address or telephone number of any elected or appointed official, the official may make a written demand to have the information removed.

Local agencies must redact social security numbers from records before disclosing them to the public. (17) General public interest exemption. Gov't Code § 6255. In cases where a specific statutory exemption does not apply, a record still might be exempt from disclosure if: on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.lo3 The numerous cases examining this "balancing test" make it clear that the burden is on the local agency to show that the public interest in confidentiality outweighs the public interest in disclosure. In fact, giver} the public policy involved, courts demand a demonstration of "clear overbalance" to justify non- disclosure.io^ In practice, very few local agencies have been able to convince reviewing courts that the public interest in confidentiality outweighs the interest in disclosure. In the absence of a specific statutory exemption, this "catch-all" distinction rarely has been successfully relied upon to justify nondisclosure. Thus, local agencies must in good faith find a relatively rare "clear overbalance" to justify confidentiality on this ground.ii,5 The right of privacy may provide a basis to shield disclosure of information under Government Code Section 6255. For example, relying on the right of privacy, the California Supreme Court ruled that disclosure of raw automated license plate reader data collected by a police department was protected from disclosure under this catch-all exemption. 1i16 The unaltered license plate scan data consisted of the plate number, date, time and location information of each license plate record.,�1/ The Supreme Court found that the act of revealing 103 Gov't Code § 6255. 104 City of Hemet, 37 Cal, App. 4th at 1421; see Also Black Panther Party, 42 Cal.

In Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court,,,,)y for example, the State's refusal to release the Governor's schedule and appointment calendar out of concern for the Governor's personal safety was upheld. Additionally, the State asserted that fhe disclosure of appointment calendars and schedules would "chill the flow of information" to the Governor and inhibit the free exchange of ideas in private meetings. The breadth of the request, however, may affect the balancing of interests. The public interest in nondisclosure may be less where the request is carefully focused and confined to a few documents.,,() The Governor's office won another Public Records Act case on the "deliberative process privilege" and the exemption for "correspondence of and to the Governor",,, justifications in 1998 when the office refused to disclose applications submitted to the Governor for an appointment to a vacancy on a board of supervisors.11) On the local level, a city's refusal to disclose the telephone records of council members was upheld to protect the some "deliberative process privilege."113 Far more often, however, courts have found the public interest in disclosure outweighs the interest in confidentiality. Similarly, the Attorney General has issued several opinions favoring disclosure.

WHAT IS THE PROPER PROCEDURE FOR COMPLYING WITH A PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUEST? The following is a brief outline of the proper response procedure, as required by Government Code Section 6253. A. The agency has ten calendar days to determine whether to grant the request. Grounds for refusing a request include: The request does not seek records which are "reasonably segregable" from records which are exempt from disclosure;,j3 • The request does not reasonably describe an identifiable record;l^ The request would require the agency to create new records not currently in existence; ❑r125 The request seeks records which are exempt from disclosure.l�F Note, however, that the Public Records Act requires the disclosure of "reasonably segregable" portions of records. This means that if portions of a record are exempt and other parts of the some record are not, the non-exempt portions of the document must be disclosed. 1_17 B. In "unusual circumstances" the agency may take up to an additional 14 calendar days to make the determination whether to grant the request. "Unusual circumstances" must be one of the following: • The need to search for and collect the requested records from field facilities or other locations separate from the office processing the request,128 • The need to search for, collect and examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records demanded in a single request;129 123 Gov't Code § 6253(aj . 124 Gov't Code § 6253(b). 125 Based upon the definition of "wdfing," Gov't Code § 6252(g) "identifiable," Gov't Code § 6253ibj. 126 Gov't Code § 6253(b). 127 Gov't Cade § 6253(a1. 128 Gov't Code § 6253(c) (1) 129 Gov't Cade § 6253(c) (2). and the requirement that a requested record be Public Records Act © 2019 Richards.

When the agency has made a determination, the requester must be promptly notified of the agency's determination. This notification should be in writing and should include the following information: Whether the request is being granted or denied;133 • If the request is being granted, the estimated date and time when the records will be made available (or where the records are located on the agency's website);13.i • If the request was made in writing and is being denied, in whole or in part, the response must be in writing and include the extent and the reasons for the denial:13j ■ The name and title or position of the person responsible for the denial;13d • The cost or an estimate of the cost of copying the records, if a copy is requested, and a request for pre -payment. Note that this is only the direct cost of duplication, or a statutory fee, if applicable, and does not include staff time to research, retrieve or compile the records.137 However, if the document requested is in electronic form, the agency may charge the full cost of reproducing the document when the record is one that is produced only at otherwise regularly scheduled intervals, or the request would require 1-�O Gov't Code § 6253(c) (31. 131 Gov't Code § 6253(c)(4). 132 Gov't Code § 6253(c). 133 Gov't Code § 6253(c)_ 134 Gov't Code § 6253(c), 1-35 Gov't Code §§ 6255. 6253(c). 136 Gov't Code § 6253(d). 137 Gov't Code § 6253(b): North County Parents Organization v.

D. In addition to the above requirements, if the local agency determines that the request should be denied and the reason for the denial is not solely because of a statutory exemption, the agency must also: • Assist the member of the public to identify records and information that are responsive to the request or to the purpose of the request, if stated; 141 ■ Describe the information technology and physical location in which the records exist;14� ■ Provide suggestions for overcoming any practical basis for denying access to the records or the information sought.143 Alternatively, a local agency may forego these requirements if it instead makes available an index of the record.144 E. Upon payment of the cost of duplication, the agency must make the records "promptly available.";4'' F. Please note that the agency may not use this procedure to "obstruct the inspection or copying" of public records. 4, This provision previously read "delay access for the purposes of 138 Gov't Code § 6253.9(b). 139 Gov't Code § 6253(a). 140 Gov't Code § 6253(t). 141 Gov't Code § 6253.1 (a) (1 ) . 142 Gov't Code § 6253.1 (a) (2). 143 Gov't Code § 6253,1(a) (3j. 144 Gov't Code § 6253.1 (d) (3). 145 Gov't Code § 6253(b). lab Gov't Code § 6253(d).

Unlike other open government laws, the Public Records Act does not criminally penalize a local agency for its failure to comply with the Act. Nor does it subject a local agency to money damages for a violation.148 However, if a person requesting public records believes records have been improperly withheld, he or she may ask a court to compel a local agency to disclose the records.14y Any person who prevails in enforcing his or her rights under the Act in court is entitled to receive court costs and reasonable attorney fees.150 Courts have deemed a person to be the "prevailing party" for purposes of awarding costs and fees if filing of the lawsuit motivated the local agency to produce any documents.151 The production of just one document can be sufficient to trigger an award of costs and fees.1s2 In the past, where the court determined the litigation was not what ultimately motivated the release of records, costs and fees were denied.153 are court held that an award of attorney's fees was appropriate even though no additional records were produced as a result of the lawsuit.'-" The local agency in that case had repeatedly refused to accept a requester's oral request to inspect public records and forced the requester to make her request in writing, constituting a general denial of access to all public records and justifying an award of attorney's fees under the circumstances. XII. CONCLUSION This Handbook provides a brief overview of some of the most important provisions of the Public Records Act that frequently arise for local government agencies. There are, however, many other provisions not covered by the scope of this Handbook. Additionally, each factual situation contains nuances specific to the particular situation that may impact the analysis. Because it is important to comply with the Public Records Act within a relatively short time frame, it is critical to seek the advice of counsel if there is any question as to the appropriate course of action. 148 County of Santa Clara v.

Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records ELECTRONIC RECORDS Advances in computer technology have significantly altered the method of communication with and between public officials and employees. but technological developments have outpaced the legislation. Email, electronic documents created on word processors, and web pages do not readily fit into the categories of disclosure under decades -old laws. The courts have had to fit the round peg of electronic documents into the square hole of state law on several occasions. In Aguimatong v. California Mate Lottery, the Court of Appeal rejected ❑ defendant's argument that the plaintiff's computer records "were not made at or near the time of the event" and therefore did not qualify as an admissible "writing" under the evidentiary rules for business records.155 The records were recorded on magnetic tape on the day the events of the case took place, but were not printed out until twenty-two months later. The court concluded that the magnetic tape, not just the printout, constituted a "writing" under the Evidence Code: Chanquin cites no authority holding that the retrieval, rather than the entry, of computer data must be made at or near the time of the event. Thus, although to qualify as a business record the "writing" must be made at or near the time of the event, "writing" is not limited to the commonly understood forms of writing but is defined very broadly to include all "means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof." Evid. Code § 250. Here, the "writing" is the magnetic tape. The data entries on the magnetic tapes are made contemporaneously with the Lotto transactions, hence qualify as business records. The computer printout does not violate the best evidence rule, because a computer printout is considered an "original." Evid. Code § 255.156 Similarly, in People v. Martinez, the California Supreme Court held that records from a state computer system of a defendant's prior criminal convictions were admissible as "official records" under the Evidence Code.157 In an attempt to catch up, in 2002 the Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 1952, modifying the definition of "writing" under the Public Records Act and the Evidence Code to include "photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any 155 Aguimatang v, Califomia State Lottery, 234 Cal, App. 3d 769 (3 Dist.

Public Records Act page 32 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof," and clarified that the definition applied "regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored." 5a The legislative reports cited to Aqu+matang and Martinez to establish that the amendment was declaratory of existing law. The reports also observed that in an earlier case, a court of appeal stated that the definition of writing in the Public Records Act was "intended to cover every conceivable kind of record that is involved in the governmental process and will pertain to any new form of record -keeping instrument as it is developed." 7� Under the 2002 legislation, emails and other electronic documents are records subject to disclosure and present their own unique issues for local governments. In 2009, the State Legislature enacted rules relating to the discovery of electronically stored information, similar to the rules enacted by the Federal Government in 2006. In 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were revised to require parties in federal lawsuits to address the production and preservation of electronic records.16Q Under the 2006 Rules, a public entity should have an electronic retention practice and policy that ensures that electronic documents relevant to federal litigation are appropriately preserved. Rule 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure authorizes federal courts to impose sanctions on parties and their attorneys who fail to comply with discovery obligations and court orders. City websites, in turn, raise questions about public rights of access. Websites are an important means of providing residents with access to information. An improperly framed policy on website use, however, could result in violations of the Brown Act, infringe upon residents' First Amendment rights, and even violate disability access laws. Consequently, it is important to establish clear policies governing website design and use. This Part 2 on Electronic Records will begin by discussing the types of email that are public records, and what exemptions under the Public Records Act might justify nondisclosure. Other unique issues raised by the use of email are also explored, such as emails sent or received by public officials and employees on nongovernmental accounts, email threads and the potential risk of using email to create an unlawful serial meeting under the Brown Act. We then look at the Public Records Act requirements for disclosure of other types of electronic records, including Geographic Information Systems. 158 5tats. 2M2, c. 945 (A.B. 1962—Hollingsworthj (amending Gov't Code § 6252 and Evid.

Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two Efectronic Records The discussion then turns to other concerns raised by electronic records, including litigation discovery and metadata. We close with a discussion of city websites, including some of the legal issues that a public entity should consider when establishing and running a website. EMAIL Given that email can be a public record under Government Code Section 6252, in most circumstances a public entity is under an obligation to disclose email upon request. However, there are a number of complications, and despite AB 1962's attempt to respond to the changed method of communication, the bill provided nothing in the way of specifics. A. Is the Email a Public Record? Under the Public Records Act, certain exemptions might apply to justify withholding an email. But a fundamental question - one that must be considered before determining whether an exemption applies - is whether the document qualifies as a "public record" of the local agency. (1) Personal Messages Documents disclosable under the Public Records Act must be "prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency," and must contain information "relating to the conduct of the public's business."161 Although this covers a very broad range of documents, it does not cover every document. For example, emails on entirely personal subjects unrelated to local agency business would not relate to the conduct of the public's business, and therefore would not constitute "public records" under Section 6252.162 A harder determination is whether a personal email that only mentions a city issue in passing would relate to the conduct of the public's business. Recently the California Supreme Court held the determination whether a particular email qualifies as a public record, particularly for emails kept in personal accounts, will involve the consideration of a number of factors and may not always be clear.16,3 The court suggested examining the content and context of the email, the purpose for which it was written and to whom, and whether the email was prepared by an employee purporting to act within the scope of his or her employment.164 161 Gov't Code § 6252. 162 City of Son Jose v. Superior Covrt, 2 Cal. 5th 608 (2017). 1631d. 164 Id. Public Records Act Page 34 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records (2) Emails Sent or Received Using Personal Devices and Personal Accounts Staff frequently asks whether emails sent or received on a nongovernmental account (such as personal GmaI, Yahoo Mail, or Hotmail accounts), from a home computer or smartphone and which pertain to focal agency business, qualify as a public record. The California Supreme Court recently decided this very issue, and held in a unanimous decision that the presumptive right of access of the PRA extends to emails and texts sent or received on nongovernmental accounts, whether on private or government -issued devices, used by local agency employees or officials that relate to the business of that local agency.,,5 In City of Son Jose v. Superior Coud, a request for 32 categories of public records was filed with the City of San Jose, four of those categories included emails and text messages sent or received on private electronic devices used by the mayor, two City council members, and their staffs.16, The City argued such emails were outside the reach of the PRA; both because the emails were not directly accessible to the City and thus did not qualify as writings "prepared, owned, used or retained" by the City under the Section 6252 definition of "public records," and because neif her employees or officials are included within the governmental entities listed in the definition of "local agency," also found under Section 6252.167 The Court found neither argument persuasive when considering the legislative intent of the PRA and the constitutional directive to a broadly construed right of public access,168 The California Supreme Court found no indication "the Legislature meant to allow public officials to shield communications about official business simply by directing them through personal accounts."1G4 The court did acknowledge the inherent balance that must be struck between the public's rights of access and an individual employee's or official's right of privacy, and sought to offer some limited guidance for how searches should be conducted for records sent or received on nongovernmental accounts that pertain to the public's business.170 Foremost, the California Supreme Court stated it is the local agency itself that is in the best position to adopt policies that will reduce the likelihood of public records being held in the private, nongovernmental accounts of local agency 165 td. at 629. 166 Id. at 615. 167 ld. at 619-23. 1681d. at 621. 169 1c1 170Id. at 627-29. Pubfic Records Act Page 35 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records employees or officials that pertain to the public's business.171 barring such a policy, the court stated that a local agency's first step upon receiving a PRA request that implicates nongovernmental accounts should be to communicate the request to the individual or individuals in question.171 A local agency may then reasonably rely on those individuals "to search their own personal files, accounts and devices for responsive material."173 Citing both federal precedent under FQIA and a holding by the Washington Supreme Court under its state public records law, the California Supreme Court also discussed an employee or official submitting an affidavit that would give the local agency, requester, and ultimately the trial court reassurance that responsive records were appropriately searched on nongovernmental accounts.174 Such an approach must also strike "an appropriate balance" with the individual's right of privacy in their personal affairs.11S The California Supreme Court's ruling in City of San Jose v. Superior Court is likely to have far-reaching consequences for public agencies; however, ❑ number of questions remain unanswered by the court's decision. Since the City of San Jose refused to produce any emails from a nongovernmental account in response to the original PRA request, disputes over the content of specific emails and whether or not they fall under the definition of "public record" will likely be decided in subsequent proceedings.176 Similarly, the decision does not address at what point a suggested search in response to a PRA request would become an unwarranted invasion on the privacy of a local agency employee or official.,// in responding to requests for communications sent or received on an individual's nongovernmental account, it is advisable to consult with your legal counsel. Counsel should also be consulted if an agency requires access to potentially responsive documents or communications that are on an employee's private device and not accessible to the agency (for example, documents saved on an employee's home computer hard drive) . Our office is also available to help draft policies that seek to reduce the likelihood that public records will be held in an agency employee's or official's private nongovernmental account, how to conduct searches into nongovernmental accounts when necessary, and how to work with employees so the employees properly search their private, nongovernmental computers and smartphones, when necessary.178 171 Id. at 628. 172 id. 173 id 174Id. 175 !d. 176 Id, a t 61 B. 177Id. at 627. 178 Private, nongovernmental devices should never be seized by the agency. or accessed without the employee's consent, even if the agency believes the device contains material responsive to a PRA request. Public Records Act Page 36 ® 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records 8. Some Email may be Protected by the Deliberative Process Privilege or Mental Process Principle Emails differ from traditional printed documents: they may be prepared quickly and sent without proofreading, they may be conversational, or they may substitute for face-to-face or telephone communications. As recently described by the California Supreme Court, "the ease and immediacy of electronic communication has encouraged a commonplace tendency to share fleeting thoughts and random bits of information, with varying degrees of import, often to broad audiences." As a result, they often reflect preliminary ideas and concepts, and may be subject to the deliberative process privilege, which was mentioned earlier in the discussion on the Public Records Act.180 Alternatively, the mental process principle may provide a basis for withholding emails. Before applying the deliberative process privilege to emails sent to a legislative body member, you should familiarize yourself with the Brown Act requirements regarding disclosure, discussed below in Section G. The deliberative process privilege and the mental process principle are very similar, and sometimes courts blur the distinction. Generally speaking, the deliberative process privilege is targeted at protecting from disclosure the decision making process of governmental agencies. Without that protection, candid discussion may be discouraged within an agency, thus undermining its ability to perform its functions.181 It is sometimes referred to as the "executive privilege," 182 but has been applied to records of both the executive branch (e.g., the governor) and the legislative branch (e.g., a City council).183 The mental process principle, on the other hand, appears to apply only to the members of an agency's legislative body when those members are enacting legislation, and protects from disclosure those records that would allow an inquiry into the "subjective motives or mental processes of legislators."184 The deliberative process privilege uses a balancing test, whereas the mental process principle does not, making the mental process principle exemption less subjective.185 (1) Deliberative Process Privilege Although the Public Records Act does not expressly contain a deliberative process exemption, the California Supreme Court held in 1991 that public 179 +d of 618, 180 See pages 21-24 of this Handbook. 181 'Times Mirror Co. v.

Public Records Act Page 37 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records records may be withheld on deliberative process grounds.185 The deliberative process privilege arises under the "catch-all" exemption contained in Section 6255 of the Government Code. Linder the "catch-all" exemption, a public agency may justify nondisclosure by showing "that on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record." To apply the deliberative process privilege: • First consider whether the record falls within the scope of the privilege, Generally, records that are predecisional and deliberative (opinion) fall within the scope, but some courts have not strictly applied a predecisional requirement and have permitted purely factual material that exposes the deliberative process to fall within the privilege.1w • Second identity the public interest served by nondisclosure of the record. Four public interests that have been identified by the courts are: (1 ) Protection of the agency's decisionmaking process so that candid discussion within the agency is not discouraged;188 (2) Protection of certain limited communications with members of the public to ensure that the local agency receives the information it needs to make decisions and otherwise func#ion;189 (3) Protection against confusion caused by premature exposure of the public to internal agency discussions before a policy is finalized,it?c- (4) Protection of the integrity of the decision -making process itself by confirming that "officials should be judged by what they decided, not for matters they considered before making up their minds." Iql • Third 'identify the public interest served by disclosure of the record. Courts have emphasized that a primary benefit of disclosing a local 186 Times Mirror Co.. 53 Cal. 3d 1325. 187 Rogers, 19 Cal.

Public Records Act Page 38 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records agency's records to the public is to promote government accountability. The public and the media have a legitimate need to know whether government officials are performing their duties in a responsible and diligent manner.,2 "Such access permits checks against the arbitrary exercise of official power and secrecy in the political process." 1111� • Fourth balance the two and withhold the record from disclosure only if the identified public interest 'ustifying nondisclosure "clean outwei hs" the ublic interest musfifying disclosure. In balancing the scales, the weight of an identified public interest in disclosure is "proportionate to the gravity of the governmental tasks sought to be illuminated and the directness with which the disclosure will serve to illuminate."14 Because the public interest in nondisclosure must "clearly outweigh" the public interest in disclosure, if the interests are just about equal, the scales tip in favor of disclosure. In California First Amendment Coalition v. Superior Court (Wilson), the plaintiffs sought disclosure of records containing the names and qualifications of applicants for a temporary appointment to a local board of supervisors.195 The Governor's office looked extensively into the applicants' backgrounds to determine whether they were qualified for the position. The court upheld nondisclosure of the records under the deliberative process privilege. It reasoned that if the deliberative process privilege did not apply, the Governor would never be able to perform background checks, which is an essential part of selecting an applicant for a government position.196 In balancing the interests, the court concluded that the public's interest in disclosure of background information revealed in confidence by unsuccessful applicants was not significant and that the public interest in learning about the successful applicant's background would be satisfied after the appointment.19/ The First Amendment Coalition case shows that the deliberative process privilege can apply to communications where the public interest in disclosure of deliberations prior to a decision is not significant and the outcome of those deliberations is a matter of public knowledge. For instance, the public could ultimately learn a council member's views about an item the City council is deliberating by attending the public meeting on the item. In such a case, 197 Times Mirror Co., 53 Cal. 3d at 1345. V93 CBS v. 81ock. 42 Cal. 3d 646, 651 (1986). 194 Citizens fora Better Environment v. Department of Food & Agriculture. 171 Col.

Another example is provided by Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court. v13 In that case, the Los Angeles Times sought copies of the governor's appointment calendars and argued that "in a democratic society, the public is entitled to know how [the Governor] performs his duties . . . l°q Disclosure of who the Governor meets with reveals who is influencing his decisions. The Governor argued disclosure of his calendar would reveal his deliberative process, and could discourage certain people from meeting with him. In balancing these interests, the California Supreme Court concluded that nondisclosure was justified, reasoning that "if the public and the Governor were entitled to precisely the same information, neither would likely receive it."20C The court added that the "massive weight" of the request (five years' worth of calendars), outweighed whatever merit there was in favor of disclosure. The court noted, however, that there may be circumstances under which the public interest in specific information is more compelling, and such a specific, focused request might tip the scales in favor of disclosure.201 Courts have emphasized the need for evidence in order to satisfy the local agency's burden of proof. In Citizens for Open Government v, City of Lodi, the City of Lodi withheld from the administrative record emails between City staff and the City's consultants regarding preparation of ❑ revised EIR.202 Citizen groups sued, challenging in part the administrative record. Lodi argued the emails were exempt from disclosure pursuant to the deliberative process privilege because disclosure would hamper "candid dialogue and a testing and challenging of the approaches taken."203 The Court of Appeal disagreed, finding that Lodi had failed to establish the conditions for creating the privilege. Lodi had done nothing more than cite the policy behind the deliberative process privilege without explaining why the facts in this particular case justified invocation of the privilege. However, because the Court of Appeal was deciding the case under the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), and not the Public Records Act, the Court found there was no prejudice and refused to reverse the lower court's ruling. In comparison, the public entity in Humane Society of the United States v. Superior Court, provided detailed declarations from employees and experts 198 Times Mirror Ca.. 53 Cal. 3d at 1344. 199 fd. 2DO id. at 1345. 201 id. of 1345-1346. 262 Citizens for open Government v.

The detailed declarations of the research project director submitted by the University seemed to sway the court; the court quoted them at length in the decision.205 One declaration explained how researchers at the University tried new ideas and approaches, frequently brainstorming by email, using shorthand expressions ❑f incomplete thoughts. To be efficient, the researchers did not keep detailed records of how they communicated, and some lines of inquiry that began in email were further discussed and dismissed ❑s part of hallway conversations. Because of that, much of what they said in emails would be easily misinterpreted. Additionally, mistakes along the way are part of the research process. The quality ❑nd quantity of work would be stifled if researchers were aware that their informal communications would be made available broadly. While the Humane Society tried to characterize the declaration as mere speculation, the court credited the declarant as an expert in the field, giving the declaration great weight,206 In balancing the public Interests, the court concluded that disclosure of the emails "would fundamentally impair the academic research process." Given the pervasiveness of email today, the deliberative process privilege seems well -suited to protect predecisional email communications from disclosure. Nevertheless, California courts have approved the use of the deliberative process privilege sparingly, and require local agencies to provide particularized factual evidence in support of its use. Prior t❑ invoking this privilege, if is advisable to consult your legal counsel. (2) Mental Process Principle The Public Records Act exempts from disclosure those records that are exempted or prohibited from disclosure pursuant to federal or state law,20' Under California state common law, a court is prohibited from inquiring into the motives or subjective mental processes of legislators in enacting a particular piece of legislation except as those motives may be disclosed on the face of the legislative acts, or inferred from their operation.2 $ This "mental process 204 Humane society of the United States v. Superior Court (Regents of the University of California, real parties in interest), 214 Cal. App. 4th 1233 (3 Dist. 2013) 2a5 id. at 1241-1244. 2061d. ❑t 1258. 207 Gov't Code § 6254(k). 2a8 Suffer's Place, 161 Cal. App. 41h at 1375_ Public Records Act Page 41 0 2014 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two; Electronic Records principle" permits a local agency to withhold public records that would reveal the mental processes or subjective motives of its legislative body members when they are acting in a legislative capacity. finlike the deliberative process privilege, which relies on a balancing test,209 records reflecting the "mental processes" of legislators are not subject to a balancing test.,iil Under applicable circumstances, the mental process principle may be used to justify nondisclosure of emails of legislative body members, such as City council members. For example, emails sent or received by a City council member could arguably be withheld under the mental process principle when they: (1) discuss the reason the member voted for or against ❑ particular ordinance, (2) involve the gathering of information on which the member based their legislative decision, or (3) expose the motives for the member's vote on a legislative matter. C. Exception for Notes, Drafts and Interagencyllntra-agency Memoranda The deliberative process privilege may help a local agency keep sensitive emails from public disclosure, but a for more effective tool is to simply have a policy in place to regularly purge intra-agency or interagency emails that are not subject to the local agency's records retention schedule. Under the Public Records Act, "[p]reliminary drafts, notes, or interagency or intro -agency memoranda that are not retained by the public agency in the ordinary course of business" are not subject to disclosure.,1! A written policy of deleting emails more than 120 days old (or some similar duration) would help establish that emails are not retained "in the ordinary course of business." A software modification that automatically deletes older emails would ensure that they are not retained, provided staff is notified of the pending purge and takes steps to retain those emails that, based on their content, must be retained under the local agency's records retention schedule. There are a few caveats, however. First, note that deleting an email is not the end of the story. Popular email programs such as Microsoft Outlook have "deleted items" folders that retain messages for a time after "deletion," in order to give the user an opportunity to "undo" an accidental deletion. If a local agency received a request for an email that had been deleted, but was still on the computer in the "deleted items" folder, it technically would still be in the possession of the agency and may be subject to disclosure. To eliminate this 209 Gov't Code § 6255. 210 See Mimes Mirror Co., 53 Cal. 3d at 1339 fn.9-10 (noting that these records are exempt under the mental process principle through operation of Section 6254(k)). 211 Gov't Code § 6254(a). For a discussion on the conditior•s that must be met to utilize Section 6254(a), see pages 1 1-12 of this Handbook. Public Records Act Page 42 C 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records potential issue from arising, an agency must ensure that the deletion becomes final and irreversible. If the agency desires or is required to save a copy of certain emails, then it should print and file such emails, or store them electronically in a location that is not subject to automatic purging. Second, note that the Section 6254(a) exemption is not absolute. The full text of the exemption provides that drafts, notes, and inter/intro-agency memoranda are nondisclosable "provided that the public interest in withholding those records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure." Accordingly, even emails "that are not retained by the public agency in the ordinary course of business" may be subject to disclosure, if the records were not deleted prior to receipt of the Public Records Act request, and a reviewing court concludes that the public interest in disclosure is not "clearly outweighed" by fhe interest in nondisclosure. This is a significant hurdle for a public agency to overcome. D. Additional Exemptions that may be Applicable to Email In addition to those described above, there are a number of other exemptions that may be applicable to emails exchanged between employees or officials of a public agency, For example, emails to and from legal counsel may be protected by the evidentiary privileges recognized under Section 6254(k); certain personal' financial data may be exempt under Section 6254(n): and personnel and medical files may be withheld under Section 6254(c). The same care should be used in reviewing responsive emails as any other material that may be subject to disclosure, and Part One, Section IX (What Public Records are Exempt from Disclosure under the Public Records Act?) of this Handbook should be consulted for additional information. Pub0c Records Act Page 43 Q 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two. Electronic Records E. The Problem with Threads Emails elicit a response. The response typically elicits another response. If multiple people received the message, responses from all of the recipients are common. And, in all of those responses, the original message is typically quoted, either in part or in full, generating a "thread" of messages. The question necessarily arises, when there is a thread of 20 messages, and one of them is responsive to a public records request, must the other 19 messages also be produced? For example, a resident makes a request for all emails discussing the possible construction of a new library and locates the following thread: Only the oldest two messages (sent at 12:00 and 12:05) refer to the study session on the library construction_ The rest of the messages are on a different topic, a topic that may be politically sensitive. Nevertheless, all of the responses to the original message included ❑ copy of the original Messa e From: C1ty Clerk To: Joe Employee, Jane Emplc Manager Date: April 2, 2007 12:05 p.m. subject. RE: Question I think the study session on the new library is next month. It will be at the same meeting as we discuss Council compensation. original Message From: Joe Employee To: Jane Employee, City clerk, city Manager Date: April 2, 2007 12:DO p.m, subject: Question Do you know when the council is going to have a study session on possibly constructing a new library? original message and every message thaf followed it, and so they all contain a reference to the library construction. As a result, it would be difficult to argue that only the 12:00 and 12:05 messages should be disclosed if this is the only copy of the email available. On the other hand, if an earlier version of the email containing only the oldest two messages is available, a local agency could argue that the thread containing all five messages may be withheld. So long as the earlier version of the two responsive emails is disclosed, the email discussing employee compensation is only a duplicate of the oldest two messages. The subsequent messages are not responsive to the request. The Public Records Act does not require disclosure of all duplicates of a responsive record. Keep in mind, however, two important considerations. First, while one appellate court has ruled that non -responsive information may be redacted from emails exchanged between two agency employees, if challenged in court, a public agency will Public Records Act Page 44 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Eleclronic Records have to explain in detail the information that was redacted.M Second, in litigation, ❑ different standard may apply and all versions of the email may have to be disclosed. One way to avoid the problem is to configure email so previous messages are not quoted in replies seat by staff. Under the example above, if the local agency did not allow quoted messages in replies, the first two messages mentioning the library construction would be disclosed as "stand-alone" emails, but the later messages regarding compensation would not because they would no longer be integrated into the prior emails. Accordingly, ❑ city should balance its concern in avoiding unwanted disclosures against the usefulness of having an entire thread available, and may wish to consider configuring email programs to eliminate quoting emails in replies. F. Risk of Serial Meetings Beyond the Public Records Act concerns, the use of email presents a significant opportunity for "serial meetings" prohibited by the Brown Act. A serial meeting is a series of meetings or communications not held at a noticed, public meeting in which ideas are exchanged among a majority of a legislative body directly or through intermediaries to "discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body,"213 In the past, the Brown Act specifically forbade the use of technological devices to conduct those communications. In interpreting the prior version of this Brown Act provision, the California Attorney General opined that email is one of these "technological devices."21" The Brown Act provisions regarding serial meetings was amended effective January 1, 2009, and the phrase "technological devices" was removed when the provision was revised. It is unlikely that the legislature, in omitting the phrase "technological devices," intended to exclude email. The primary mechanism for creating serial meetings via email is through the use of "reply all." For example, if a public employee sends an email to an entire City council, and then one of those council members' replies to the entire list of recipients, then a communication would have taken place between a majority of the City council. If the purpose of the council member's reply was to "discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body." the communication would constitute a serial meeting in violation of the Brown Act,215 Accordingly, public officials must endeavor to use "reply all" sparingly, if at all. A "reply all" congratulating a 212 American 00 Liberties Union at Northern California v. Superior Court, 202 Cal. App. 4th 55, 78-87 (1 Dist. 2011 j 213 Gov't Code § 54952.2(bi (1). 214 84 Ops. Gal, Aff y Gen. 30 (2001), 215 Gov't Code § 54952.2(b) (1 ). Public Records Act Page 45 p 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records council member for receiving an award would be permissible; a "reply all" expressing an opinion about an issue within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City council would not. G. Disclosure Requirements for Documents at Meetings Although the deliberative process privilege may apply to many emails, note that even that privilege is unlikely to apply if on email concerns an issue under consideration by a legislative body and a majority of the body receive the email. The Brown Act states that notwithstanding the "catch-all" exception in the Public Records Act, "or any other law," any writings distributed to a majority of a legislative body in connection with a matter subject to discussion or consideration at an open meeting of the body are disclosable.216 The statute goes on to clarify that it does not overrule the exceptions for drafts, documents related to pending litigation, personnel files, medical files, and a number of other exceptions, but it does expressly overrule the "catch-all" provision on which the deliberative process privilege is based. Note that Section 6254 f k), under which the mental process principle is applied, is not overruled by the Brown Act, and still would be applicable. Unlike records disclosable under the Public Records Act, which gives public entities ten days to respond to a request and additional time to produce the documents, a public agency must produce documents under this section of the Brown Act "without delay. , In addition, if the email is created by the public agency or a member of the legislative body, it must be made available for inspection at the meeting.y,8 Emails not drafted by the public agency or its legislative body must be made available after the meeting. This is particularly relevant to emails sent to council members on smartphones, Fads and similar devices, given that a council member could potentially send an email to other council members while a meeting is going on. Under this section of the Brown Act, an attentive member of the public could insist that they be provided a copy of that email, at the meeting, if the council member sent it to a majority of the other council members. Accordingly, members of a legislative body should consider carefully the consequences of sending an email via smarfphone, iPad or other device at a public meeting prior to doing sO. The informality of emails makes them particularly prone to statements that would not be put into conventional written documents. The only certain means of 216 Gov't code 154957.5. 217 Gov't Code § 54957.5(aj. 218 Gov't Code § 54957.5(cl_ Public Records Act Page 46 0 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records avoiding unwanted disclosure, of course, is simply not to write the email in the first place. II. DOCUMENTS CREATED USING WORD PROCESSORS, GIS AND OTHER SOFTWARE A. Disclosure Requirements (1) Public Records Act Electronic records are subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act pursuant to Section 6253.9 of the Government Code. A public agency that has information constituting a public record in an electronic format must make that information available in electronic form upon requesee2,,, An agency is not required to reconstruct an electronic record if it is no longer available in that format.2x An agency may inform a requester that a requested record is available in electronic format, but the agency is prohibited from adopting a policy of only making information available in electronic format.,)�1 On the other hand, not every piece of data stored on a computer readily fits the definition of "record." Unlike word processing documents, information stored in a database or a spreadsheet, for example, may only be displayed in response to the user's entering a formula or query, For such data, there are special statutory provisions. With conventional (printed) documents, the public agency may only charge for the direct cost of duplication, not including staff time to research, retrieve or compile the records.« For electronic records, however, the agency may charge the full cost of reproducing the document, if the record is one that is produced only at otherwise regularly scheduled intervals, or the request would require data compilation, extraction, or programming to produce the record.223 Many public agencies now possess Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") that allow them to collect, manage and analyze large volumes of geographically referenced information. Whether this electronic information is a public record that is subject to disclosure has been the subject of controversy, mainly because public agencies have charged licensing fees to businesses that wanted a copy. Public agencies have argued that the monies recovered from those licensing fees are necessary to support the development and maintenance of the GIS. 219 Gov't Code § 6253.9(a). 220 Gov't Code § 6253.9(c1. 221 Gov't Code § 6253.9(d), (e). 222 Gov't Code § 6253(b). 223 Gov't Code § 6253.9(b). Public Records Act Page 47 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records in 2013, the California Supreme Court disagreed with that argument. In Sierra Club v. Superior Court, the Court held that a GIS-formatted database is a public record that, unless otherwise exempt from disclosure, must be produced upon request and the local agency may only charge the actual cost of duplication.224 The County of Orange had argued that its GIS database was not a public record. The court disagreed that Section 6254.9 excluded a GIS database from the Public Records Acts disclosure requirements, and concluded that, because the County had not claimed any exemption to justify nondisclosure, the County of Orange could only charge the direct cost of duplication for its G(S database. Note, however, that the California Supreme Court was careful to distinguish the database from the software - the mapping system itself was exempt from disclosure under another provision in the Public Records Act.225 The statute expressly exempts computer mapping systems, computer programs, and computer graphic systems, and states that nothing in the statute is intended to limit any copyright protections. Accordingly, a requester may not seek to obtain the software that creates the records, only the records themselves.776 The Public Records Act not only exempts computer software as discussed above, but also a public agency's information security record, if that record has the potential to reveal vulnerabilities or otherwise increase the possibility of an attack on that public agency's information technology system.227 However, a bill signed into law in 2015, adding Section 6270.5 to the Public Records Act, requires local agencies (except local educational agencies) to create ❑ catalog of "enterprise systems," that must be publicly available on the local agency's website by July 1, 2016. An enterprise system is defined as a "software application or computer system that collects, stores, exchanges and analyzes information" used by the focal agency as a system of record, and acts either across multiple agency departments, or collects information about the public.228 While Section 6270.5 requires a city to list these enterprise systems as defined, if does not require a city to disclose the information collected, stored, exchanged and analyzed by the software application or computer system if that information is otherwise exempt under the Public Records Act. Further, a number of enterprise systems may be excluded from a local agency's listed catalog, such as systems related to 911 dispatch or emergency services, information technology security systems (including firewalls and other 224 Sierra Club v.

Efeclronic Records cybersecurity systems) and infrastructure and mechanical control systems (for example, systems that manage water or sewage functions),2`, (2) Federal Rule 26 In 2006, revisions to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure took effect that requires parties in federal court to address the production and preservation of electronic records during the discovery phase of litigation. These rule changes do not require a local agency to alter its routine management or storage of electronic information. They do, however, illustrate the importance of having formal written rules for retention of potentially relevant records and data when litigation occurs. It is firmly established that ❑ duty to preserve evidence arises from the moment litigation is "reasonably anticipated.' 23G Once the duty to issue a legal mold is triggered, the party "must suspend its routine document retention destruction policy and put in place a 'litigation hold' to ensure the preservation of relevant documents. "231 Discovery is the process by which parties involved in litigation in either state or federal courts obtain information from other parties. Under Rule 26, parties in a federal lawsuit may obtain discovery regarding any matter that is relevant to a claim or defense, so long as it is not privileged. According to Rule 26(a) what can be discovered includes "documents," "tangible things," and "electronically stored information," which is broadly defined as "any type of information that is stored electronically." The 2006 changes to Rule 26 alter discovery in four major ways: a. Penalties (sanctions) on parties are now limited for electronic information lost in good faith as ❑ result of the routine operation of computer systems, such as purging or overwriting information; b. Parties must address electronic discovery Issues at the beginning of litigation, including the form in which electronic information will be produced to the other party, the preservation of electronic information, and claims of privilege for electronic information; 232 C. Parties must produce relevant information from electronic sources that are "reasonably accessible" but may not have to produce information from older or backup systems if it imposes an undue burden or cost. The requesting party can, however, overcome a showing of undue burden or cost if they can establish "good cause" for doing so; and 229 See pages 123-124 of this Handbook. 230lubuiake v.

Such documents may be recalled by the disclosing party. In such cases, the privilege is not waived. The discovery rule changes d❑ not require a local agency to alter its routine handling of electronically stored information prior to when litigation can reasonably be anticipated. The drafters of the rules recognized that electronic information might be routinely altered, purged or overwritten as part of a system's operation. Under the 2006 revisions to Rule 37(f), the routine purging of outdated electronic information, including the "alteration or overwriting of information... to meet the party's technical and business needs" continues to be permissible, so long as it is done in accordance with other laws, such as the records retention laws in Government Code Sections 34090-34090.8. These sections permit a city, for example, to destroy certain city records that are "no longer required" and are more than two years old if authorized by a City council resolution and the written consent of the City attorney. Records that may not be destroyed include: real property title records, court records, records required to be kept by statute, records less than two years old, and the minutes, ordinances, or resolutions of the legislative body, City board, or commissions. However, once litigation can be reasonably anticipated, a local agency has a duty to preserve potentially relevant information for discovery. In some cases, the local agency may have to suspend the routine operation of its information systems in order to preserve information potentially relevant to the litigation. In such cases, it must act in good faith and not sit idly by while potentially relevant information is purged from its systems; "[t]he good faith requirement of Rule 37(f) means that a party is not permitted to exploit the routine operation of an information system to thwart discovery obligations by allowing that operation to continue in order to destroy specific stored information that it is required to preserve ."-1,3 These rules on document preservation highlight the importance of having a written document retention policy. A written policy will show what operations are routine. This will help protect a local agency from sanctions it litigation occurs and allow its attorneys to discuss its routine computer operations with the court and other parties. Such a policy should set specific limits for how long information is retained and specific procedures for the routine destruction of electronic data. The policy should also address the steps that the agency will take to preserve potentially relevant information when litigation is reasonably anticipated, These policies should be in accordance with Government Code Sections 34090-34090.8 and any other applicable laws governing the preservation of city records. 233 Fed. R. Ov. P. 37{fj Advisory Committee Note. Public Records Act Page 50 © 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records The other discovery rule changes further illustrate how a written policy will aid a local agency in Jitigation. When litigation begins in federal court, Rule 26(f) requires the parties' lawyers to confer about "issues relating to disclosure or discovery of electronically stored information." No part of electronic discovery is more important for determining the scope of the preservation obligation than the pre -scheduling conference meet and confer provided under Rule 26(f). Rule 26(f) explicitly directs the parties to discuss the form in which electronic information will be produced, how it will be preserved, and how to address claims that certain information is privileged. The pre -scheduling conference meet and confer can be the single most important factor to reduce costs and burdens of discovery. In order for a local agency's counsel to be prepared to discuss these issues, the rules note that it is "important for counsel to become familiar with those systems before the conference." In some cases, counsel may have to identify and interview individuals with special knowledge of the agency's computer systems. Rule 26(b) requires the parties to identify whether "reasonably accessible" electronic sources can provide all of the relevant, non -privileged, information. Parties will need to distinguish these "reasonably accessible" sources from those that are not "reasonably accessible" because of undue burden or cost. Examples of information that might not be reasonably accessible include: ■ deleted items, ■ fragmented or damaged data, ■ information kept on some back-up tape systems for disaster recovery purposes, and ■ legacy data remaining from systems no longer in use. Linder Rule 26(a), the parties must produce all of the relevant, non -privileged information from the "reasonably accessible" sources within 14 days of the initial conference during the "initial disclosure," a requirement unique to federal court where relevant information is disclosed at the outset of the civil discovery period. Discovery from sources that ❑ party deems not "reasonably accessible" can still occur if the requesting party can show that there is no undue burden or cost or upon a showing of "good cause." Once discovery begins in federal court a local agency must now be prepared to explain how their electronic information systems work, which systems contain information potentially relevant to the litigation, how those systems are accessed, and the costs of accessing archival or older systems. Having a written policy in place will reduce the costs and staff time associated with Public Records Act Page 51 C 2D19 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records complying with these discovery rules. It will also aid staff in familiarizing themselves with the operations of the agency's computer data and storage systems as well as any external storage and backup systems, and in explaining these operations to agency counsel and opposing parties. Finally, having a written policy will minimize the likelihood of destroying discoverable materials and thus dramatically reduce the chance that an agency will be hit with discovery sanctions during litigation. Taken together, the changes to the federal discovery rules make it advisable for a local agency to put in writing its procedures for managing electronic information. In light of these rules and obligations and as a first step to forming or maintaining an already -created written policy on electronically stored information, public agencies should review their operating systems to ensure they understand how electronic information is currently stored and retained. In addition, public agencies should examine their data recovery systems and archival data to determine the type of information contained in these systems, and to understand the costs associated with retrieving such data. Agencies should also regularly review their written policies once implemented to ensure that they remain up to date as new technologies and systems replace old ones. (3) The California Civil Discovery Act Contains a Process for Electronic Discovery in State Court In 2009, the California Legislature adopted federal -style procedural rules to permit the discovery of electronically stored information in state court cases pursuant to Assembly Bill ("AB") 5, following the 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.234 Electronically stored information is broadly defined by AB 5235 as any information that is stored in an electronic medium, and includes e- maiis, documents, spreadsheets and any other information stored in computers and other electronic devices.236 These rules make the creation of the above - mentioned written policy on electronically stored information just as applicable to state court litigation as federal court litigation. Similar to the Federal Rules, a safe harbor exists for spoliation caused by "routine, good faith operation of an electronic information system."t17 AB 5 specifically provides that a court shall not impose sanctions on a party for failing to provide electronically stored information that has been lost, damaged, altered or 234 Assembly Bill 5. Stat. 2009. Ch. 5 (amending Cade of Civ, Proc. §§ 2016,020, 2031 .010 through 2031.060, and 2031.210 through 2031.320, and adding Code of Civ, Proc. §§ 1985.8 and 2031.285). 235 See Code of Civ. Proc. §§ 1985.8. 2016.020. and 2031.010 et seq. 236 Code of Civ. Proc. § 2016.020(e). 237 Code of Civ. Proc. § 2031,320(d) . Public Records Act Page 52 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records overwritten as the result of the routine, good faith operation of an electronic information system._38 Accordingly, public agencies should ensure electronically stored information is retained or deleted only in accordance with the adopted policy. Agencies should thus train employees to make sure the document retention policies are appropriately followed at all times.-3�' Further, as with federal court litigation, once state court litigation is reasonably anticipated, public agencies have a duty to stop automatic destruction processes and preserve potentially relevant electronically stored information in the format in which it currently exists, notwithstanding the normal document retention policy that might otherwise permit destruction. In the event litigation is reasonably anticipated, public agencies should ensure that "litigation holds" are applied to electronically stored information potentially relevant to the litigation, so that it is not deleted, whether intentionally or by automatic computer processes. The retention of information that may be potentially relevant to anticipated litigation should also be a part of the agency's written policy on electronically stored information. In light of a recent California Supreme Court decision outlining the broad scope of discovery, agencies are advised to consult legal counsel in determining the breadth of a litigation hold. Documents and information that the agency believes to be protected under a right to privacy argument should still be preserved, if even potentially relevant to the litigation. In Williams v. Superior Court, the Court stated that "the right to discovery in this state is a broad one, to be construed liberally so that parties may ascertain the strength of their case and at trial the truth may be determined. "240 The Court determined that the defendant in Williams was obligated to disclose the personal information of individuals who may have had no bearing on or relation to the claims asserted by the plaintiff. It further stated that the party opposing discovery has the burden of showing that a privacy right exists that outweighs the potential relevance of the information requested. The same burden applies when the party opposing discovery argues undue hardship. In both instances, the burden is a high one. Agencies should therefore be mindful that they may have to produce a broader scope and larger volume of documents and electronically stored information than was required in prior years, and accordingly should, in consultation with counsel, broaden the scope of their document retention policy and litigation holds. When instituting a legal hold, or responding to discovery requests in litigation, attorneys and clients must work together to understand how and where 238 Code of Cis. Proc. § 2031.060iij (1). 239 Code of Cis. Proc. § 2031,060aiI (2). 210 Wriliams v. Superior Court, 3 Cal. 5th 531, 537 (2017).

B. Metadata Word processing documents most readily fit the definition of "record," and they also present the greatest potential for inadvertent disclosures. A modern word processing document is comprised of for more than simple words on a page. Microsoft Word documents typically contain information about the author or editor, the author's organization, the time the document was created, modified or accessed, the amount of time spent editing the document, and even what earlier versions of the document looked like. This "metadata," which literally means data about data, is automatically attached to documents by modern word processors. For instance, some metadata appears in Microsoft Word under the "Home" menu, by selecting "Properties." General SurrnarY Statistics Coniarks Custom TVe: (Letter to D.S. - I Author: ! 6emarnn S. Bc4baem manager, Company: City of Whav& Category: Keywords: comments: tlyperllnk base: TefWla6e: Normal Salve preview picture OK Carxel I Although metadata can be useful information, it can also result in unwanted disclosures. For instance, as the dialog box above shows, Microsoft Word automatically inserts the name and company of the author of the document, and there are numerous other fields that can be filled in. If a local agency does not want this sort of information disclosed as a general rule, the word processor should be configured to not record this information. More significantly, many word processors have a "tracked changes" function. When public officials and employees work with multiple drafts of a document, especially when multiple people work on the same document, they frequently make use of a feature that highlights every change made to the document. That way, when ❑ party to a proposed contract wants to delete a provision or insert a line, it is easy for the other party to see the change. It is simple to turn this feature on and off, but it is also simple to turn the display of tracked changes on and off, while still having the word processor keep track of the changes. As a result, it is not uncommon for documents to be transmitted electronically with changes tracked, without the knowledge of the author, If the author deleted a paragraph, the person reviewing the tracked changes could restore that paragraph. The implications become particularly significant if the author had deleted the text because it was deemed inaccurate or sensitive. Public Records Act Page 54 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records Moreover, recall that drafts are only nondisclosable if it is the public agency's policy to not retain them in the course of business. If a city routinely saves documents with changes tracked, then arguably it has preserved the earlier drafts of the document. This could thwart a city's policy to avoid preserving drafts. Consequently, it should be common practice to remove any tracking from a document upon finalization, or better yet, to not use tracking in the first place. Similarly, most word processors have an "undo" button, which is useful for correcting typos or to recover inadvertently deleted text. Many word processors can "undo" a string of actions, and can even "undo" actions repeatedly until the document is a blank page. If a city official sends that document to someone making a public records request, the individual could click on "undo" repeatedly to see every step that the author took in drafting the document. This presents the same problems as with "tracked changes" - sensitive or inaccurate information that the author meant to delete could be included in the metadata. Accordingly, in using word processors, public agencies should ensure that they are configured to eliminate the "undo" trail when ❑ document is saved. In addition to all of the above strategies, there are several programs available that can remove metadata after ❑ document has been completed, or at the time it is emailed. However, the use of such programs on documents that are subject to a public records request would be of questionable legality. Under the Public Records Act, a request for a public document must include the exact document, and on the face of it, stripping metadata from a document that is requested in electronic form potentially would violate this requirement.2a1 Depending on your document retention schedule, you may be able to strip metadata from some older documents upon archiving them, but deleting metadata from documents that the city is required to retain may violate document retention requirements. If the requester does not expressly ask that the document be provided in electronic format, the statute does not prohibit the agency from supplying it in printed form. Accordingly, a local agency may wish to adopt a policy of providing electronic records in printed form unless a requester expressly asks for an electronic version, and providing records in pdf format when requesters ask for electronic versions. If the requester expressly asks for the original document format, the City attorney should be consulted. It is unclear how the new federal electronic document discovery rules would apply to metadata. Rule 26 does not specifically address metadata, but the 241 See Gov't Code § 6253 (b) ("Upon request. an exact copy shall be provided unless impracticable to do so."); Rosenfhal v. Hansen, 34 Col. App. 3d 754 t3 Dist. 1973J, Pubic Records Act Page 55 C 2019 Richards. Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records comment to the revision mentions metadata and states that "[w]hether this information should be produced may be among the topics discussed in the Rule 26(f) conference." Consequently, there is the potential for the disclosure of metadata in litigation, which further highlights the importance of establishing standard practices for creating and handling metadata. During litigation, it is often advisable to maintain sources of electronically stored information in native formats with metadata, to preserve the ability to produce the data if necessary. Ill. CITY WESSITES With the rapid integration of the internet into American culture, a significant percentage of California cities now provide at least basic information about their government on city -run websites. Posting certain commonly requested information on a web page is a way to reduce the staff time necessary to respond to public records requests. City websites also provide a method to increase public participation in local government, such as more recent requirements for posting of public meeting agendas electronically. However, city website practices may have legal ramifications, and it is advisable for a city to draft and implement a policy on the permitted uses of its website to avoid violating legal restrictions such as those related to mass mailings and use of public funds for "express advocacy," and also to avoid creating a "public forum". A. Websites and the "Mass Mailing" Prohibitions The Political Reform Act prohibits the sending of newsletters and other so-called "mass mailings" at public expense.242 A "mass mailing" is defined as the mailing or distribution at public expense of 200 or more items within a calendar month featuring the name, office, photograph or other reference to an elected officer of the agency.243 The underlying intent is to preclude elected officials from using newsletters as indirect campaign flyers for themselves. In brief, the California Fair Political Practices Commission (the "FPPC") Regulations provide a four -prong test to determine the legality of mass mailings. A mass mailing is prohibited if each of the following elements is present: a. a delivery of a tangible item, b. that "features" or includes reference to, an elected official, C. distributed at public expense regardless of the cost, or produced at public expense where the cost of production exceeds $50.00, 242 Gov't Code § 89001. 243 2 C.C.R. § 18901. Public Records Act Page 56 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records d. in a quantity of 200 or more.144 On the face of it, the regulation would not apply to web pages, because they would not constitute "a delivery of ❑ tangible item." The FPPC, which interprets the Political Reform Act, has yet to render an official opinion on the applicability of the mass mailing rule to websites. However, severar advice letters issued by the FPPC have concluded that the prohibitions on publicly funded mass mailings contained in Government Code Section 89001 and FPPC Regulation 18901 do not apply to websites or web pages. In 1998, the FPPC responded to an inquiry as to whether a committee, advocating the passage of a bond measure expected to be placed on the ballot by a school board, may obtain a link from a "school district website to a web page" advocating the passage of the bond measure. The FPPC advised that, According to Regulation 18901 (a) (1), a publicly -funded mailing is ❑ prohibited mass mailing if it is delivered as a tangible item to the recipient at his or her residence, place of employment or business, or post office box. Consistent with Regulation 18901, the ban is applicable to tangible items only. Since distribution over the Internet is not a distribution of a tangible item, Internet pages are not prohibited mass mailings under the [Political Reform] Act.)O Even though providing a link to an express advocacy website may not qualify as a "mass mailing," it could violate other laws, as will be discussed below in Section B. A second advice letter similarly concluded that web pages are not covered under the mass mailing prohibitions of the Political Reform Act. That advice letter was issued by the FPPC in 1999 in response to a request for advice by the County of Lake. The inquiry was whether the County could include on its web page photographs and a short biography for each member serving on its board of supervisors.216 The FPPC letter reiterated that FPPC Regulation 18901 did not apply to the actions listed above because "web pages are not considered tangible items" and not subject to Regulation 18901 (a) (1).)4i In 2013, the FPPC again confirmed its conclusion that distribution of information over the Internet, including websites, is not distribution of tangible items. A City attorney requested advice whether the mass mailing provisions prohibit City staff 214 2 C.C.R. § 18901 . 245 Foote Advice Letter, No. A-98-1 14, 1998 WL 289895 (1998) (citation omitted), 246 Peterson Advice Letter, No. A-99-013. 1999 WL 100857 (1999). 247 rd. Public Records Act Page 57 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two. Electronic Records from listing the mayor's bed and breakfast business on the city's websiie along with other places of lodging in the city. The FPPC advised that the mass mailing provision does not prohibit the listing of the mayor's business on the city's websiie because providing information over the Internet is not distribution of a tangible item.248 The FPPC also recommended a review of laws pertaining to use of public resources.249 Given the foregoing, city web pages provide a unique opportunity for elected officials to communicate with their constituents. Council members could each maintain their own page on the websiie, drawing attention to issues of interest to the community. There are, however, some limitations on what the web pages can contain, as discussed below. B. Avoiding Express Advocacy Although websites and web pages are not currently covered under the mass mailing restrictions of FPPC Regulation Section 18901, public agencies must still be mindful of other regulations and laws that might be violated by its decisions to permit links from official websites. For example, the Political Reform Act prohibits the use of public moneys for election campaigns.250 Consequently, a city's web page must not indicate support or approval of, or advocate for, a candidate for elective office. The leading California case setting forth the basic rule with respect to government involvement in political campaigns is Stanson V. Mott.251 In Stanson, the California Supreme Court addressed the question of whether the State Director of Beaches and Parks was authorized to expend public funds in support of certain state bond measures for the enhancement of state and local recreational facilities. The court concluded that the Director of Beaches and Parks lacked such authority and set forth the basic rule that "in the absence of clear and explicit legislative authorization, a public agency may not expend public funds to promote a partisan position in an election campaign."%s Only impartial "informational" communications would be permissible, such as ❑ fair presentation of the facts in response to ❑ citizen's request for information.263 The Stanson Court also recognized that the line between improper "campaign" expenditures and proper "informational" activities is not always clear. "[T]he determination of the propriety or impropriety of the expenditure depends upon 248 Pienk Advice Letter. No. A-13-0) 2 (20131. 249 Id. 250 Gov't Code § 85300. 251 Stanson v.

Public Records Act Page 58 C 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two; Electronic Records a careful consideration of such factors as the style, tenor and timing of the publication; no hard and fast rule governs every case."1'$A The California legislature also codified the holding of Stanson in Government Code Section 54964.255 The Stonson test was recently reaffirmed by the California Supreme Court in Vargas v. City of Salinas.27n Prior to Vargas, courts attempting to interpret and apply Stanson used varying tests to determine the permissibility of expenditures. For example, in California Common Cause v, Duffy, an appellate court held that ❑ local sheriff's use of public facilities and personnel to distribute postcards critical of then -Supreme Court Justice Rose Bird was "political" and not "informational" as permitted by Stanson because the cards presented only one side of Justice Bird's fitness to be retained in office.L57 In another appellate decision, Schroeder v. City Council of Irvine, Irvine's "Vote 2000" Program was upheld.2m The program encouraged voter registration, without specifically advocating a particular position on any measure. Although the City had taken a public position in favor of the proposed ballot measure, the materials it distributed did not advocate any particular vote on the measure and rarely mentioned the measure at all. The Schroeder court held that the funds spent on the Vote 2000 program would be political expenditures and unlawful under Stanson only if the communications expressly advocated, or taken as a whole unambiguously urged, the passage or defeat of the measure.2w Because the City presented a neutral position on "Measure F," at least in the campaign materials, the court upheld the program as valid. However, in Vargas v. City of Salinas, the California Supreme Court decided that "express advocacy" is an insufficient standard. In Vargas, proponents of a local ballot initiative to repeal the City's utility users tax ("Measure 0") sued the City alleging improper government expenditures. The court held that even if a communication does not expressly advocate for either side of an issue, a Stanson analysis must nonetheless be conducted to determine whether the activity was for informational or campaigning purposes based on its style, tenor, and timing.260 Although the court did not specifically refer to the Schroeder analysis in its opinion, the court clearly stated that the "express advocacy" 25A id. at 222 (citations omitted). 2$5 Government Code section 54964 prohibits the expenditure of public funds "to support or oppose the approval or rejection of a ballot measure, or the election or defeat of a candidate, by the voters." The statute does not prohibit expenditures to provide information to the public about the possible effects of a ballot measure on the activities, operations, or policies of the local agency, it the informational activities are not otherwise prohibited by the Constitution or stale law and the information provided constitutes an accurate, Fair, and impartial presentation of relevant Facts to aid the voters in reaching an informed judgment regarding the ballot measure. 256 Vargas V. City of Salinas, 46 Cal. 4th 1 (20091. 257 California Common Cause v. Duffy, 200 Cal. App, 3d 730, 746-747 (4 Dist, 19871. 258 Schroeder v.

Public Records Act Page 59 ® 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records standard does not meaningfully address potential constitutional problems arising from the use of public funds for campaign activities that were identified in Stanson. Thus, local governments must look to Vargas rather than Schroeder for the proper standard to evaluate whether an expenditure is permissible. A variety of factors led to the Vargas court's conclusion that the communications were informational, including the fact that the publications avoided argumentative or inflammatory rhetoric and did not urge citizens to vote in a particular manner. The challenged expenditures were made pursuant to general appropriations in the City's regular annual budget pertaining to the maintenance of the City's website, the publication of the City's regular quarterly newsletter, and the ordinary provision of information to the public regarding the City's operations. The Supreme Court found that the City engaged in informational rather than campaign activity when it posted on the City's website the minutes of City council meetings relating to the council's action along with reports prepared by various municipal departments and presented by officials at City council meetings.261 Similarly, the City did not engage in campaign activity by producing a one -page document listing the program reductions that the City council voted to implement should Measure D be approved, or in making copies of the document available to the public at the City clerk's office and public libraries.2(,2 The court reasoned that viewed from the perspective of an objective observer, the document clearly constituted an informational statement that merely advised the public of specific plans that the City council voted to implement should Measure ❑ be approved. Finally, the court found that the City engaged in permissible informational activity by mailing to City residents the fall 2002 "City Round -Up" newsletter containing articles describing proposed reductions in City services. Although under some circumstances the mailing of material relating to a ballot measure to a large number of voters shortly before an upcoming election would constitute campaign activity, a number of factors supported the court's conclusion that the mailing of the newsletter constituted informational rather than campaign activity: it was a regular edition of the newsletter that was mailed to all City residents as a general practice, the style and tenor of the publication was entirely consistent with an ordinary municipal newsletter and readily distinguishable from traditional campaign material, and the article provided residents with important information about the tax in an objective and nonpartisan manner. 261 id, at 37. M id. at 37-38 (stating, "not only [did] the document not advocate or recommend how the electorate should vote on the ballot measure, but its style and tenor [was] not at ail comparable to traditional campaign material" j. The fact that the City only made the document available at the City clerk's office and in public libraries to people who sought it out reinforced the document's informational nature. Public Records Act Page 60 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records The Supreme Court illustrated the insufficiency of the "express advocacy" standard by suggesting that if the City of Salinas were to post billboards throughout the City prior to an election stating, "'IF MEASURE O IS APPROVED, SIX RECREATION CENTERS, THE MUNICIPAL POOL, AND TWO LIBRARIES WILL CLOSE,' it would defy common sense to suggest that the City had not engaged in campaign activity even though such advertisements would not have violated the express advocacy standard."263 Vargas and Stanson reflect that local agencies must exercise caution when communicating to voters about local measures. The some prohibitions on the use of public moneys to support or oppose a ballot measure or a candidate for political office would likely also apply to public agency websites. This is because the time and expense of maintaining a website and adding links to other websites may result in a form of "in kind" contribution from the public agency to the particular candidate or campaign committee. "Professional services, including the creation and maintenance of a website for a candidate, could conceivably result in a contribution from the county to the candidate.%(s4 Public officials must ensure that there is no inclusion of information or links on their websites that contain words of express advocacy or that unambiguously promote or suggest a particular position in a campaign. Public officials must also avoid any actions which, based on their "style, tenor and timing", may lead to a determination that ❑ city website contains impermissible advocacy. Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule to assist public officials in distinguishing improper partisan campaign expenditures from permissible expenditures for "informational activities." Whether a communication is permissible will be based on a combination of these factors, and public officials should therefore seek the advice of the City attorney on ❑ case -by -case basis. Assistance may also be obtained from the FPPC. Note also that public officials could potentially face personal liability if a court concluded that they used public funds for a partisan campaign. The Stanson opinion concluded that public officials "may property be held to a higher standard than simply the avoidance of "fraud, corruption or actual malice" in their handling of public funds."265 Instead, public officials must exercise "`due care,' i.e., reasonable diligence, in authorizing the expenditure of public funds, and may be subject to personal liability for improper expenditures made in the absence of such due care."-- If public officials published a web page that conveyed a partisan slant, a court could conclude that the officials failed to exercise this due care. 263 id. at 32. 264 Peterson Advice Lether, No. A-99-013, 1999 wL IODS57 (1999). 265 3tonson, 17 Cal. 3d at 226. 21,61d. at 226-27. Public Records Act Page 61 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records C. Public Forum in addition to the mass mailing and express advocacy considerations, the existence of city websites also raises the issue of whether a website constitutes a "public forum" in which any member of the public would have a right to post information or links, or engage in debate or discourse. The decisions of public agencies on what sort of content to include on web pages, whether to allow external links to be posted, and what type of links to permit, have the potential to infringe upon rights guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, the California Constitution's "Liberty of Speech Clause," and other legal principles. In relevant part. the First Amendment provides that, "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech."26' Similarly, the "Liberty of Speech Clause" provides that, "A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.")sa The United States Supreme Court uses the "public forum" doctrine to evaluate the constitutionality of government regulation of private speech on public property. This doctrine classifies public property according to three categories of public forum status: (i) traditional public forums - areas traditionally used for expressive activity such as streets, sidewalks and parks; (ii) designated public forums - areas dedicated by the government for expressive activity, either generally or for limited purposes; and (iii) nonpublic forums. "Public forum" status directly impacts the degree to which a public agency may regulate private expression on public property. For example, if a public agency's website were deemed a "nonpublic forum," then the agency would have considerable discretion in determining which applications for website links to accept. By contrast, if ❑ public agency's website was deemed a "traditional public forum" or a "designated public forum," then the agency's discretion would be substantially diminished. Two cases addressing whether city websites constitute public forums are discussed below. D. Putnam Pit, Inc. v. City of Cookeville The case of Putnam Pit, Inc. v. City of Cookeville provides an example of how the First Amendment may limit a public agency's authority to control external links on its website. Putnam Pit is a federal case discussing the validity of a �67 [).S. GQNsT. amend I. 268 CAL. CONST. art_ I, § 2(a). Public Records Act Page 62 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two., Electronic Records website link policy under the First Amendment.269 This case involved a free speech claim by a small, free website newspaper publisher, against the City of Cookeville, Tennessee. The case arose from Cookeville's refusal to establish a link from its website to the website of the publisher's on-line newspaper, the "Putnam Pit." The "Putnam Pit" website focused on commentary critical of the City of Cookeville and its officials and staff. At the time that the publisher initially requested and was denied the link, "several for-profif and non-profit entities were linked to the ... [Cookeville] Website, including a focal technical college, two Internet service providers, ❑ law firm, a local computer club, a truck product manufacturer and distributor, and ❑ site with information about Cookeville."2/L' However, prior to the publisher's request, Cookeville "had no stated policy" on who could be linked to the City's website.2.'l Upon learning of the publisher's request, the City manager decided to permit links only "from the Cookeville Website to other sites, which would promote the economic welfare, tourism, and industry of the City."27. Pursuant to this policy, the City manager subsequently denied the publisher's request for a link from the Cookeville website to the "Putnam Pit" website and then removed several links to other websites from the Cookeville website.27; The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that based on the facts presented, the City's website was a nonpublic forum under the First Amendment, and that the City could impose reasonable restrictions but could not engage in viewpoint discrimination.274 The court also ruled the publisher was entitled to a trial regarding whether Cookeville discriminated against him based upon viewpoint when the City manager denied him a link on the website. Facts that could potentially constitute viewpoint discrimination included statements by the City manager that he thought the "Putnam Pit" consisted only of the publisher's "opinions." "which he didn't care for" and actions by the City manager who indicated to the publisher that he would not be permitted a link even if the "Putnam Pit" were a non-profit entity. 7� 269 Putnam Pit, tnc. v.

Putnam Pit, Inc., 221 F.3d at 846. Public Records Act Page 63 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records E. Vargas v. City of Salinas In Vargas v. City of Salinas, the California Supreme Court also considered whether ❑ city website constituted a public forum.276 In Vargas, City residents placed an initiative on the ballot to repeal the City's long-standing utility users tax. The City staff prepared a series of reports addressing the impact the loss of the tax would have on the City's budget, including the reduction and elimination of services and programs, and posted those reports on the City's web page. The initiative supporters contended that they had a right to provide their own information on the web page, which the City rejected. The Supreme Court concluded that the City's web page was not a public forum because the City had not opened its website to permit others to post material of their choice.277 F. Public Forum Analysis The Putnam Pit and Vargas courts applied the public forum analysis of the First Amendment to the City's action with respect to the website, treating the website as analogous to physical public property. As previously mentioned, the United States Supreme Court has established that, for such analyses, the extent of permissible government restrictions on expressive activity are governed by whether the activity occurs in (i) ❑ traditional public forum; (ii) a designated public forum: or (iii) a nonpublic forum.278 ( 1) Traditional public forum Traditional public forums are "places which by long tradition or by government fiat have been devoted to assembly and debate." Typically such places have included public streets, sidewalks and p❑rks.27 Government regulations that restrict the "content" of expressive activity in such forums "must withstand strict scrutiny."78;, This means that if the government wishes to restrict expressive activity based on content, such restrictions must serve ❑ "compelling state interest" and must be "narrowly tailored" to serve that interest. However, if the government imposes content -neutral restrictions on the "time, place and manner" of expressive activity in public forums, then such restrictions must serve a "significant public interest." must be "narrowly tailored" to that interest and must leave open "alternative avenues of communication."281 276 Vargas, 46 Cal. 4th at 1. 27 Id. at 37, n.18. 278 Perry Ed. Ass'n v. Perry Local Ed. Assn. 460 U-S, 37 (1983). 279 Putnom Pit, inc.. 221 F.3d at 842 (citing Perry, 460 U.S. a 45), 2801d, at 843, 281 Id. (citing Perry, 460 U.S. at 45). Public Records Act Page 64 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records (2) Designated public forum The Supreme Court has held that "[i)n ❑ designated public forum, the government intentionally opens a nontraditional public forum for public discourse.'" 282 An example of a designated public forum is the public comment session at a City council meeting. In ❑ designated public forum, the government may restrict the content of the expressive activity to that which is within the scope of the public forum. For example, in the case of a City council meeting, the government may restrict speech to only permit discussion of city business.283 Once the government opens ❑ nontraditional public forum to a class of persons, the restrictions applicable to those to whom the forum is opened must also withstand strict scrutiny. Thus, as in the case of public forums, regulations governing designated speakers in designated public forums must serve a "compelling state interest" and must be "narrowly tailored" to serve that interest.n, Accordingly, it is important for a city to avoid creating a designated public forum on its website so as not to establish rights where none previously existed, or at least to have a clear policy on who may post on the city's website. (3) Nonpublic forum Nonpublic forums are those places that are not typically used for public debate or the free exchange of ideas. Accordingly, "the First Amendment does not forbid a viewpoint -neutral exclusion of speakers who would disrupt a nonpublic forum and hinder its effectiveness for its infended purpose.",'ai Examples of nonpublic forums include highway rest areas and advertising on a municipal bus.296 In a nonpublic forum government may prohibit speech or expressive activity, so long as such restrictions are reasonable in light of the government's interest and do not attempt to suppress the speaker's activity based on disagreement with the speaker's views.282 (4) Public entity websites as nonpublic forums The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Putnam Pit concluded that the City of Cookeville's website was a "nonpublic" forum under the First Amendment because the website was not open to the public, and before and after the City 282 id. {citing Comelius v. NAACP Legal Defense & Educ. Fund. Inc., 473 U.S. 788, 802 (19851 J . 283 See White v.

Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part two. Electronic Records adopted a website link policy, links had been established on an individualized basis.2m This determination is significant because a government entity, as previously discussed, has more discretion to regulate public expression in a nonpublic forum than it does in a "traditional public forum" (such as a park) or in a "designated public forum" (a place expressly opened for free speech by the public). The court also emphasized that the City had legitimate interests "in keeping links that are consistent with the purpose of the site ---providing information about City services, attractions and officials."2&1 Despite the fact that the court in Putnam Pit determined that the City's website was a nonpublic forum, giving the City broad discretion to limit access to its website links, the court stated that the City could not deny links "solely based on the controversial views" the publisher espouses. v(� The court concluded that the City's "requirement that websites eligible to be linked to the City's site promote the City's tourism, industry and economic welfare gives broad discretion to City officials, raising the possibility of discriminatory application of the policy based on viewpoint."z91 Accordingly, the court remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on the issue of whether the City improperly exercised its authority to restrict access to links on its website in a discriminatory manner in violation of the publisher's First Amendment rights. The Vargas court also concluded that the City's website was a nonpublic forum, and the City could exclude the initiative proponents from posting information on the site..N,� In contrast to Putnam Pit, in Vargas the City did not permit access to the web page by either proponents or opponents of the ballot in1tiative.z9,f Limiting use of a city website only to city -related activities may result in a court finding that the public forum analysis is not appropriate under the facts, and that the issue should be evaluated instead under the doctrine of governmental speech.214 The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Free Speech clause does not apply to government speech, because the Free Speech Clause restricts government regulation of private speech and does not regulate government speech.795 Under the government speech doctrine, the government has the right to speak for itself and a government entity may exercise this same freedom 280 Putnam Pit, 1nc., 221 F.3d at 844, 289 Id. at 845. 290 Id, 291 id. at 845-46 (citations arnitted;. 292 Vargas, 46 Cal. 4th of 37 n.18. 293 See id. 294 Pleasant Grove City v. 5ummurn, 555 U.S. 460, 467 (2004) 295 Id Public Records Act Page 66 0 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Part Two: Electronic Records to express its views when it receives assistance from private sources for the purpose of delivering a government -controlled message.241, In Sutliffe v. Epping School District, an advocacy group challenged the Town of Epping after the town refused to include the group's hyperlink on the town's website.29, The group wanted to present opinions countering the town's budget proposals regarding town and school activities. The group contended its hyperlink should have been allowed because the town had included a hyperlink to ❑ one -day event put on by "SUE", which was part of a state university -sponsored program and was to be held among town residents to foster community spirit, civic discourse, and the organization of community - defined projects and action groups. By unwritten practice, the town had previously allowed only hyperlinks that would promote providing information about the town, and did not permit links that were political or advocated for certain candidates. A written policy established after the group's request limited hyperlinks to those for governmental agencies or events and programs coordinated or sponsored by the town. The federal appeals court ruled in SUtliffe that a government entity has the right to express ifself on means of communication that the government owned. The town engaged in government speech because the town created the website and selected which hyperlinks to place on its website to convey information about the town to its citizens and the outside world and, by choosing only certain hyperlinks to place on that website, communicated an important message about itself.29s Hyperlinks were added only with approval by the Board of Selectmen. The court also rejected the group's claim that the town engaged in viewpoint discrimination, because the SUE event was a town -sponsored and financially -supported event, and nonpartisan.299 The court also concluded that a public forum analysis did not apply under the facts, because the town's website is not ❑ traditional public forum, and the website was not a designated public forum because there was no evidence that the town intentionally opened a nontraditional public forum for public discourse.300 Accordingly, in drafting and administering website link policies, a public agency should be mindful that "nonpublic forum status 'does not mean that the government can restrict speech in whatever way it likes'."30; A public agency may not deny requests to post information and links simply because they do not agree with a requesting party's views or the views espoused on the requesting 2961d. at 468. 297 Sufliffe v.

Pub4c Records Act Page 67 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records party's website, but an across-the-board policy that does not discriminate on the basis of viewpoint should withstand judicial scrutiny. Reserving the website only for the public agency's activities and purposes may also help the public agency demonstrate that it is engaging in government speech, and has not created a public forum. G. Chat Rooms and Forums Note that the conclusion would have likely been different in Vargas if the website had contained a chat room. The term "chat room" generally refers to an area of a website that allows for a real-time interactive discussion between whoever wishes to participate, with every participant seeing what every other participant types in. Chat rooms allow visitors to access web pages to state their views on a topic of discussion, and in unmoderated chat rooms, to say anything about any subject. In Vargas, the California Supreme Court did not address chat rooms. However, in the prior appellate court decision, which was superseded on other grounds by the California Supreme Court, the appellate court had little trouble concluding that a chat room on ❑ city web page would constitute a public forum: As noted above, "electronic communication media may constitute public forums. Websites that are accessible free of charge to any member of the public where members of the public may read the views and information posted, and post their own opinions, meet the definition of a public forum . . . .11 mY2 Ampex Corp. v. Cargle and ComputerXpress, Inc. v. Jackson, were "anti-SLAPP" motions brought by defendants in defamation and libel actions, which are motions to strike ❑ "strategic lawsuit against public participation." In order to have a viable anti-SLAPP motion, the statements at issue must be made in a public forum, and both opinions concluded that chat rooms on the websites were public forums. The federal courts increasingly hold that chat rooms and other forms of social media may constitute public forums. In 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court described cyberspace, and social media, as follows: "While in the past there may have been difficulty in identifying the most important places (in a spatial sense) for the exchange of views, today the answer is clear. It is cyberspace —the 'vast democratic forums of the Internet' in general, [citation omitted] , and social media in particular."303 302 Vargas v. City of Salinas, 37 Col.

Randall, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a Facebook page set up by the chair of the county board of supervisors was a public forum and that the chair violated a resident's First Amendment rights by engaging in viewpoint discrimination because the resident was banned from the comment section of the Facebook page for 12 hours due to his past criticism of public school offlClalS.30A As reflected in the circuit court's recitation of the facts, the day before Phyllis Randall was sworn in as chair of the county board of supervisors, she set up a Facebook page entitled the "Chair Phyllis J. Randall" Facebook Page (the "Chair's Facebook Page"), which she designated as a "governmental official" page.305 She expressly invited "ANY Loudoun citizen" to make posts to the comments section on the interactive component of the Chair's Facebook Page, with respect to "ANY issues, request, criticism, complement or just your thoughts. "366 The public made numerous posts on matters of public concern.307 The Fourth Circuit concluded that Randall placed no restrictions on the public's access to the Chair's Facebook page or the public's use of the interactive component of the Chair's Facebook Page.3o8 The court ruled that the Chair's Facebook page was ❑ public forum because she opened the page to unlimited public discourse, and that the Facebook page was compatible with expressive activity.3og The court emphasized that "An 'exchange of views' is precisely what Randall sought —and what in fact transpired...."310 A similar conclusion would likely result when evaluating a "forum" or "message board" on a city web page, which are similar to chat rooms but do not occur in real-time; instead, people post messages one at a time that are typically grouped by topic and preserved on the web page in chronological order, for anyone to read.

Accessibility Requirements One other concern in designing a local agency's website is whether if is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"), local governments must ensure that they provide qualified individuals with disabilities equal access to their programs and services, including by making reasonable modifications to rules, policies or practices, removing architectural, communication or transportation barriers, or providing auxiliary aids or services, unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs or services or would impose an undue burden.311 Local governments must take appropriate steps to ensure that their communications with applicants, participants, members of the public and companions are as effective as communications with others, and furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of a government service, program or activity.31) Based on these requirements, local agency websites must be designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities.313 In designing and maintaining an agency's web page to ensure compliance with First Amendment and Brown Act requirements, an agency should make sure it is designed for accessibility as well. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice issued advance notices of proposed rulemaking to consider revising the regulations of Title II of the ADA to establish federal technical requirements to make accessible the services, programs or activities offered by state and local governments to the public by website5,314 but in late 2017 withdrew those rulemaking acfions.31y Even without specific technical standards applicable to local governments, there are a number of regulations and guidelines that may be used to design accessible public websites. These include: • The Federal Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Final Standards and Guidelines, set forth at 36 C.F.R. parts 1 193 and 1 194;316 and 311 42 U.S.C. § 12131 et seq. 312 28 C.F.R. 35.160Ia) and (b) (1 �. 313 See U.S. Dep' l of Justice.

Many state and local agencies have incorporated the federal requirements into the design of their information technology systems, including their websites.31� In addition, other federal laws may impose accessibility requirements on local government websites, depending on the circumstances. For example, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination based on disability by federal agencies and recipients of federal assistance, and consequently recipients of federal funds may need to meet federal accessibility requirements.31g Providing accommodations for persons with disabilities to use public websites is not particularly onerous; in fact, the Department of Justice has stated that "implementing accessibility features is not difficult and will seldom change the layout or appearance of web pages."320 IV. CONCLUSIONS The law related to electronic documents continues to evolve as computer technology advances and public officials respond and adapt to those advances. The advent of email, text messages and other forms of social media has expanded the opportunities for collaboration greatly, but has simultaneously expanded the potential for inadvertent Brown Act violations, as well as unwanted disclosure of preliminary or sensitive information when emails and text messages must be disclosed in response to a Public Records Act request. When using email, public officials should refrain from using "reply all" to avoid serial meetings, and should be aware of the disclosure requirements of the Brown Act for documents related to Items discussed at a public meeting. Public officials 129 U.S.C. § 794d1. and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (47 U.S.C. §§ 153 and 255). section 508 requires programs and activities funded by federal agencies to be accessible to people with disabilities, including federal employees and members of the public, and covers ICT developed, procured, maintained, or used by federal agencies. The Telecommunications Act requires in part that telecommunications products and services be accessible to people with disabilities. 317 Available at httn1lwww.w3.ora1. The revised Section 508 standards contained in the federal regulations are based on WCAG 2.0 developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) . 318 In California, state websites must meet both the web accessibility standards in California Government Code § 1 i 135, which adopted the Section 508 standards and the Priority 1 and 2 level checkpoints of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0 "AA" Conformance Level) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). 319 29 U.S.C. § 794. 320 U.S. Dept of Justice, Accessibility of State and Local Government Websites to People with Disabilities, http:Zlwww.ada.gov/websites2.htm. Public Records Act Page 71 © 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 226503) Part Two: Electronic Records should also be sensitive to the risk that the Public Records Act may require disclosure of emails or text messages in which they discuss public business, and not treat them as casual conversation. While the deliberative process privilege may apply to protect some such emails or text messages, the doctrine has been applied sparingly by California courts. A clear policy regarding the deletion of emails and text messages will also help to reduce unwanted exposure, although an agency must be able to suspend its usual deletion procedures to preserve electronic records potentially relevant to state or federal litigation. Although federal and state laws continue to develop, electronic documents and information other than emails (for example, posts on social media websites, such as Facebook321 or Twitter,32= that are deemed to be a public forum or otherwise relate to an agency's public business) may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act, California discovery rules, and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26(a). An agency must make electronic records available in an electronic format if requested in response to a Public Records Act request. An agency may also have to disclose electronic records in litigation and even metadata may be discoverable. Thus, it is important to avoid the automatic creation of metadata, to the extent possible. Public officials should also consult with their information technology departments to ensure that metadata is not inadvertently inserted into electronic records when they are created. With respect to websites, caution must be taken to ensure a public agency's website does not indicate support or approval of, or promote or advocate for, a candidate for elective office. Likewise, a public agency website cannot be used to advocate for or against an initiative election. In addition to avoiding express advocacy that unambiguously suggests a particular position in a campaign, public officials must also avoid any actions which, based on their "style, tenor and timing", may lead to ❑ determination that a public agency website contains impermissible advocacy. The content of a website link policy, and the manner in which such a policy is implemented, are critical in a public agency's ability to regulate the information and links that will be permitted on its website. It is important that a public 321 See discussion in Part III(G), above, regarding Davison v. Randall, 912 F.3d 666 (county official's Facebook page deemed a public form). See also German v. Eudaly, 2018 WL 3212020 (D.

Public Records Act Page 72 ® 2019 Richards, Watson & Gershon 2265031 Port Two: Electronic Records agency does not arbitrarily discriminate in denying requests for website links. The establishment and adherence to a specific written policy regarding website links would likely assist a public agency in avoiding the litigation challenges faced by the City of Cookeville in the Putnam Pit case, and should assist generally in avoiding violations of the First Amendment. A uniform policy, such as that upheld in the Vargas opinion, may serve as a viable defense to such challenges. We have several recommendafions for drafting website policies. First, the website link policy should contain a "statement of purpose" indicating that neither the public agency's website nor its links list are "forums" for expressive activity by the public. The following is our suggested language for that portion of the policy, for the hypothetical City of Anytown: This policy governs the establishment of external links on the City of Anytown's official website. For purposes of this policy, an `external link' is ❑ hyperlink from the City of Anytown's website to a website maintained by another party. Neither the City of Anytown's website nor the external links listed on such website constitute a forum for expressive activity by members of the public. Rather, the purpose of the City of Anytown's website and the external links list is to provide information about officials, services and attractions related to City of Anytown. This policy is declaratory of the City of Anytown's existing administrative practice regarding the establishment of external links on its website. Second, the website link policy should specifically designate the types of organizations that are eligible to have a link established to their website. We think eligibility may be limited to non-profit entities (as Cookeville chose to do), but it does not have to be so restricted. We also recommend that the website specifically exclude links to sites that have as their purpose the election or defeat of specific candidates or the passage or defeat ❑f specific ballot measures, regardless of political position. In our opinion, implementation of these suggestions will strengthen a public agency's position if it ever becomes necessary to defend a decision to deny a request for a link from a public agency's website. Finally, the agency should ensure that its web page complies with the accessibility requirements of the AAA, such as providing text equivalents for graphics, ensuring that information conveyed with color is also available without color, and using high contrast color choices.

BACKGROUND: On May 12, 2015, the City Council approved the City's first Legislative Platform. The Platform is a compilation of general and City -specific policy statements. The general policy statements reflect commonly -accepted positions on matters pertaining to local governance of cities in the State of California. The City -specific policy statements reflect positions that the City of Temecula has directly and collectively taken in the past. All policy statements in the Platform are consistent with the policies outlined in the City of Temecula's governing documents (i.e., General Plan, Specific Plan, Quality of Life Master Plan, Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, Youth Master Plan, etc.) The Platform is adopted annually by the City Council at the beginning of each year and reflects legislative changes and positions taken in the prior year. The previous year was the second year of a two-year session. The only substantive change was the addition of the following bullet point to the general principles under Community Services on page three of the attachment: "Support legislation and funding associated with comprehensive strategies to solve homelessness consistent with the City's Responsible Compassion program." Given the number of bills that are expected on this topic next session, and the City's growing efforts with its own program, this bullet point will help facilitate efficient and effective response to related legislation. The City's state and federal lobbyists will receive the updated platform after adoption. FISCAL IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: 2020 Legislative Platform 4, 1989 CITY OF TEMECULA 2020 STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM Approved: January 14, 2020 The Legislative Platform is a tool to protect and promote the City's interests on priority issues and legislative/regulatory matters that may impact the City at the state and federal level. The guiding principles and policy statements below allow City staff and legislative advocates to address legislative and regulatory issues in a timely and directed manner, without precluding City Council consideration of additional legislative matters arising throughout the year. This platform supplements existing City Council established goals and policies in various documents including the City's General Plan and Quality of Life Master Plan (QLMP).

Support Funding Opportunities Support measures that allow the City to compete for its fair share of regional, state and federal funding including competitive grants and other funding programs.

The Records Retention Schedule ("Schedule") is a key element of this program. The objective of the program and schedule is to administer and preserve records vital to the operation of the City and to lawfully dispose of records that have served their usefulness. Program components include the retention schedule, records destruction, technology storage and retrieval, and related policies and procedures. The schedule is a comprehensive listing of records created or maintained by the City, that includes the length of time each record is retained and the legal retention authority. The Electronic Document Management System ("EDMS") is a part of the overall program. The City uses Laserfiche as its EDMS to store its official records electronically. The purpose of the EDMS policy is to ensure the City's EDMS meets the definition of a Trusted System as set forth in Government Code Sections 12168.7 and 34090.5, and is in compliance with regulations developed by the Secretary of State to use in recording, storing, and reproducing permanent and nonpermanent documents or records in electronic media, so that every reproduction of a record from the EDMS will be deemed to be a copy of an original record. Documents already imaged and identified within various records series of the schedule are destroyed in accordance with policy. Permanent imaging of these records complies with the requirements of state and federal laws. Proposed revisions to the schedule are based upon an annual survey of departments. Revisions reflect changes in records ownership, operational needs and changes in applicable records management law. Government Code Section 34090 requires legislative approval for said destruction, along with City Attorney review and Department Director authorization. The City Attorney consents to the destruction of the proposed records by way of approval of this report and attachments and signature on the corresponding resolution. Assuming the City Council approves the proposed destruction Department Directors will also sign off on the request for destruction of records prior to actual destruction. In addition to the descriptions set forth in Exhibit A, bar code records also identify each record retained and/or destroyed by the City. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council approve the annual retention schedule and records destruction. FISCAL IMPACT: The costs associated with the program are contained in the annual operating budget for the City Clerk Department.

PREPARED BY: Stacey Biddle, Management Assistant Julie Tarrant, Principal Management Analyst RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the purchase of 118 green thermoplastic bike legends for the Citywide Buffered Bike Lane Striping Project (PW19-20), in the amount of $79,485.52, from Ennis -Flint, Inc. BACKGROUND: In April 2017, the City of Temecula submitted a project application to Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) for the Citywide Buffered Bike Lane Striping project for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 SB821 Call for Projects. The Citywide Buffered Bike Lane Striping Project includes installation of buffered bike lines and 118 green thermoplastic bike legends along approximately ten miles of roadway throughout the City. The project will provide for buffered bike lanes to reduce travel lane widths while creating an expanded buffer zone between motorists and bicyclists. The City was awarded $132,300 in SB821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Program Funds to implement the project, per RCTC Agreement No. 18-62-069-00 FY2017-18. The Department of Public Works Maintenance Division currently has the equipment necessary to install the green thermoplastic bike legends, and to date, has installed many bike -lane legends throughout the City. Ennis -Flint, Inc. is the sole source manufacturer of legends compatible with the City -owned equipment, therefore staff recommends approval of this purchase from Ennis -Flint, Inc., to complete the project.

Award a construction contract to Marina Landscape Inc. in the amount of $329,000 for the Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project, PW17-29; 2. Authorize the City Manager to approve change orders not to exceed the contingency amount of $32,900, which is equal to 10% of the Contract amount; 3. Make a finding that the Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project, PW17-29 is exempt from Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) fees. BACKGROUND: On July 16, 2015 the City Council approved Resolution 15-41 adopting the Upper Santa Margarita Watershed 2014 Integrated Regional Water Management Plan Update. The purpose of adopting the resolution was to allow the City to work cooperatively to manage local and imported water supplies and to participate as a local agency with Rancho California Water District (RCWD), the County of Riverside, and Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to be eligible for Proposition 84 grant funding. In August 2015, RCWD and the City of Temecula submitted a joint project application to the State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) in response to the Call for Projects for the 2015 Proposition 84 Round 3 Implementation Grant funding program for the Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project. On January 13, 2016, Final Awards were announced to include RCWD as an award recipient of $2,754,121 for the Upper Santa Margarita Watershed, for the San Diego Region. Within the grant agreement between DWR and RCWD, the City of Temecula is identified as one of four program recipients of a grant award in the amount of $426,028.99, allocated by RCWD to the City of Temecula. On August 27, 2019 the City Council approved the agreements with Rancho California Water District (RCWD) for recycled water service for the Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project, PW 17-29. On October 22, 2019, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized the Department of Public Works to solicit construction bids for the project. The Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project will convert six sites within the City of Temecula from existing potable water irrigation systems to efficient systems approved for distributing recycled water, the installation of purple pipe equipment and correction of system inefficiencies. These sites are as follows: 1. Butterfield Stage Road, De Portola Road to south of Crowne Hill Drive — Crowne Hill 2. Butterfield Stage Road, south of Jerez Lane to south of Royal Crest Place — Crowne Hill 3. Butterfield Stage Road Median, Crowne Hill Drive to north of Jerez Lane— Crowne Hill 4. Butterfield Stage Road Median between De Portola Road and Crown Hill Drive — Crowne Hill 5. Rancho California Road and Margarita Road — Temeku Hills 6. Rancho California Road between Meadows Parkway and Margarita Road — Temeku Hills The project tasks include, project management, labor compliance, progress reports, design and engineering, CEQA Compliance, permitting, contract administration and construction. This project will reduce the use of potable water, increase overall water savings and enhance energy efficiencies and potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On Tuesday, December 17, 2019, three bids were received on the City's online bidding service, PlanetBids. The results were as follows: Contractor Bid Amount 1 Marina Landscape, Inc. $329,000 2 Southern California Landscape, Inc. $392,200 3 T.E. Roberts, Inc. $469,800 Staff reviewed the submitted bids and deemed Marina Landscape Inc. to be the lowest responsive bidder. Marina Landscape, Inc. has successfully completed similar projects for various public agencies, including the City of Temecula. The Engineer's estimate for the project was $348,000. The specifications allow for one hundred (100) working days for construction, which is approximately 5 months. The Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) is an element of the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) to conserve open space, nature preserves and wildlife to be set aside in some areas. It is designed to protect over 150 species and conserve over 500,000 acres in Western Riverside County. The City of Temecula is a permittee to the MSHCP and as such is required to abide by the Regional Conservation Authority's (RCA) Fee Remittance and Collection Policy adopted by Resolution 07-04 on September 10, 2007. The RCA is a joint regional authority formed by the County and the Cities to provide primary policy direction for implementation of the MSHCP. Beginning July 1, 2008, the RCA will require that locally funded Capital Improvement Projects contribute applicable MSHCP fees within 90-days of construction contract award. Fees outside the public right of way are calculated on a cost per acre of disturbed area basis, while fees for typical right of way improvements projects are five percent of construction costs. Projects, such as this project are exempt from MHSCP fees FISCAL IMPACT: The Expanded Recycled Water Conversion Project is identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget for Fiscal Years 2019-2024 and is funded with Measure "S" and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) Proposition 84 Grant. Adequate funds are available in the project accounts to cover the contract amount of $329,000, plus the 10% contingency amount of $32,900, for a total amount of $361,900. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Contract 2.

PA 19-0408) RESOLUTION NO.20- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. 5 TO THE RORIPAUGH RANCH FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (SCH NO. 97121030) BACKGROUND: The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan was approved by City Council in November and December 2002, along with other land use entitlements and a 10-year Development Agreement. At that time, the City certified a comprehensive Final Environmental Impact Report, State Clearinghouse No. 97121030 ("BIR"), to comply with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") for all of the land use approvals and the Development Agreement for the Project. Addendum No. 1 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on April 23, 2013 by the adoption of Resolution No. 13-04. Addendum No. 2 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on March 22, 2016 by the adoption of Resolution No. 16-02. Addendum No. 3 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on January 23, 2018 by the adoption of Resolution No. 18-06. Addendum No. 4 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on November 6, 2019 by the adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 19-24. Amendment No. 1 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) was approved on January 11, 2005 by the adoption of Resolution No. 05-08. Amendment No. 2 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) was approved on February 28, 2006 by the adoption of Resolution No. 06-02. Amendment No. 3 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) was approved on March 8, 2016 by the adoption of Resolution No. 16-17. Amendment No. 4 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP-11) was approved on January 23, 2018 by the adoption of Resolution No. 18-08 The approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (RRSP) allows the development of 2,015 residential units on 804.7 acres, including 1,056 low and low medium density single-family units, and 959 medium density single family units. The RRSP also allows development of 15.4 acres (110,000 square feet) of commercial uses, a 5.1-acre neighborhood park, a 19.7-acre community park with lighted athletic fields, 9.1 acres of private recreational facilities, 202.7 acres of biological habitat, 56.6 acres of flood control and landscaped slope areas, and a 2-acre fire station. At build out, the project would have a gross density of 2.5 units per total acre and a net density of 4.88 units per residential acre. The project is required to construct a number of improvements, including regional and local roads and major sewer, water and drainage facilities. Specific Plan Amendment Planning Application PA19-0408 is a proposed Specific Plan Amendment requested by the Developers of Phase II that would update the development standards for a rear yard setback reduction from 20 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 18C, 20A, and 24; and a rear yard setback reduction from 15 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 22 and 23A. These rear yard setback reductions would only be permitted if the planning areas are developed as age qualified homes. The Specific Plan Amendment will also provide language regarding the Municipal Services Community Facilities District (CFD). Any development within the Phase II Properties of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan is required to address impacts of the Project upon the City's budget as a result of the increased costs to the City of providing public safety and other municipal services to Phase II through annexation into the Municipal Services CFD. The Specific Plan Amendment also incorporates the school properties located in Planning Areas 28 and 29 into Community Facilities District No. 16-01, which provided for rates for public improvements (Special Tax A) and rates which mitigate the deficit due to the provision of municipal services (Special Tax B). The parcels will be annexed into the CFD upon the issuance of a building permit. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not revise the public improvements required of the Phase II builders, make any revisions to the current Development Agreement approved under the previous Specific Plan Amendments, nor increase the number of homes previously approved in the Specific Plan. Planning Commission Recommendation Staff presented the project to the Planning Commission on November 20, 2019. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the project and adopt the Environmental Impact Report Addendum. There were no public speakers for the project at the hearing. FISCAL IMPACT: None ENVRIONMENTAL: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the environmental impacts of the original project were studied in an EIR that was certified in 2002 (SCH 97121030), and in subsequent addenda prepared in April 2013, March 2016, December 2017, and September 2019, all of which are now final. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 an Addendum to the EIR has been prepared which concludes that the proposed modifications do not result in any new or greater environmental impacts than were previously analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated. None of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present to require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and no additional environmental review is required. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Aerial Map 2.

On March 8, 2019, Woodside Homes and Wingsweep Corporation filed Planning Application No. PA19-0408, a Specific Plan Amendment in a manner in accord with the City of Temecula General Plan and Development Code. C. The Specific Plan provides standards and guidelines for development. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan would update and modify those standards including an update to the development standards for a rear yard setback reduction from 20 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 18C, 20A, and 24, a rear yard setback reduction from 15 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 22 and 23A only if the planning areas are developed as age qualified homes and add new language regarding the Municipal Services Community Facilities District while not increasing the number of dwelling units previously approved within the Specific Plan. D. On November 20, 2019 the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Addendum No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report and proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) at which time all persons interested in these actions had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission. E. After hearing all written and oral testimony on the proposed actions and duly considering the comments received, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-29 recommending to the City Council that the Addendum No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report be approved. The Planning Commission also adopted Resolution No. 19-30 recommending that the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) be approved. F. On January 14, 2020 the City Council of the City of Temecula considered the Project and Addendum No. 5 to the Final Environment Impact Report for the Project, at a duly noticed public hearing at which time all interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or in opposition to this matter. The Council considered all the testimony and any comments received regarding the Project and the Addendum No. 5 to the Final Environmental Impact Report prior to and at the public hearing. G. Following the public hearing, the Council adopted Resolution No. 20- certifying the Addendum No. 5 to the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Roripaugh Ranch Project. H. The Project was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law. I. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Further Findings. The City Council, in approving Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Specific Plan (SP 11) hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan does not make any material changes to the Specific Plan that would impact the consistency findings set forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal I is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood -level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space and recreational facilities. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City's development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City's design and building standards. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City because the Specific Plan clearly defines land uses, and establishes development standards, regulations and building criteria for each land use type. The proposed reduced setbacks add to the development standards and regulations and the Municipal Services CFD language does not change the number of approved lots or the size of the lots within the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan Area. C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek for the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. With the reduced setbacks and Municipal Services CFD language the lot sizes and number of lots within the Specific Plan will remain unchanged from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain. Section 3. Approval of Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11). The City Council of the City of Temecula hereby approves that certain Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit "A".

D. The City has caused Addendum No. 5 ("Addendum") to be prepared for the Amendment in accordance with Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines because the Amendment does not require the preparation of a new or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15164. E. An addendum need not be circulated for public review but is attached to a final EIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines section 15164. F. The City Council has reviewed and considered Addendum No. 5 in conjunction with the EIR, Addendum No. 1, Addendum No. 2, Addendum No. 3, and Addendum No. 4. G. On November 20, 2019 the Planning Commission of the City of Temecula held a duly noticed public hearing on proposed Addendum No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report and proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) at which time all persons interested in these actions had the opportunity and did address the Planning Commission. After hearing all written and oral testimony on the proposed actions and duly considering the comments received, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-29 recommending to the City Council that the Addendum No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Final Environmental Impact Report be approved. The Planning Commission also adopted Resolution No. 19-30 recommending to the City Council that the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (SP 11) be approved. H.

The City Council finds and determines that Addendum No. 5 is the appropriate environmental document to analyze the proposed Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan ("Amendment") because: A. There are no substantial changes proposed by the Amendment that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; B. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Amendment are undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and C. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was adopted, showing that: (a) the Amendment will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (b) there are significant effects previously examined that will be substantially more severe than shown in the EIR; (c) there are mitigation measures or alternatives previously N found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (d) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the City declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.

The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan does not make any material changes to the Specific Plan that would impact the consistency findings set forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal I is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood -level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space and recreational facilities. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City's development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City's design and building standards. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city.

C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek for the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. With the reduced setbacks and Municipal Services CFD language the lot sizes and number of lots within the Specific Plan will remain unchanged from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain.

Pursuant to Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.16.020, the Planning Commission, in recommending that the City Council approve Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan does not make any material changes to the Specific Plan that would impact the consistency findings set forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal I is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Project creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood -level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Project provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space, schools and recreational facilities. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City s development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City's design and building standards. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City because the Specific Plan clearly defirres—land--uses,,—and establishesdevelopment-standards; regulations arid—biilding criteria for each land use type. These regulations, which include land use intensities, setback requirements, lighting and landscaping standards, and signage regulations, contribute toward the protection of proposed residential neighborhoods in the area as well as some reduction of possible negative impacts to adjacent properties. C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek for the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. The lot sizes within the Specific Plan area are not changing from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain. Section 3. Recommendation.

The City Council, in approving Amendment No. 5 to the Roripaugh Specific Plan (SP 11) hereby finds, determines and declares that: A. The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan does not make -- -- -any -material -changes- -to-the Specific-Plan--lhut--would-irnpuel-lhe-consistency fndings-set- forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal 1 is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Project creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood -level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Project provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space, schools and recreational facilities. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City's development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City's design and building standards. B. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City because the Specific Plan clearly defines land uses, and establishes development standards, regulations and building criteria for each land use type. These regulations, which include land use intensities, setback requirements, lighting and landscaping standards, and signage regulations, contribute toward the protection of proposed residential neighborhoods in the area as well as some reduction ofpossible negative impacts to adjacent properties. C. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek far the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. D. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. The lot sizes within the Specific Plan area are not changing from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain. Section 3.

The Specific Plan Amendment will not increase the number of dwelling units previously approved within the Specific Plan area. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed Planning Commission Resolutions recommending City Council approval of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) Addendum and a Specific Plan Amendment. CEQA: Exempt Section 15164, Addendums to Environmental Impact Reports Name of Applicant: Woodside Homes and Wingsweep Corporation BACKGROUND SUMMARY The approved Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan (RRSP) allows the development of 2,015 residential units on 804.7 acres, including 1,056 low and low medium density single-family units, and 959 medium density single family units. The RRSP also allows the development of 15.4 acres (I 10,000 square feet) of commercial uses, a 5.1-acre neighborhood park, a 19.7-acre community park with lighted athletic fields, 9.1 acres of private recreational facilities, 202.7 acres of biological habitat, 56.6 acres of flood control and landscaped slope areas, and a 2-acre fire station. At build out, the project would have a gross density of 2.5 units per total acre and a net density of 4.88 units per residential acre. The project is required to construct a number of improvements, including regional and local roads such as Butterfield Stage Road, Murrieta Hot Springs Road, and Nicolas Road, and major sewer, water and drainage facilities. C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Tech nologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@BOODE401\@BCL@BOODE401.doc Planning Application PA19-0408 is a Specific Plan Amendment to amend the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. The proposed changes include an update to the development standards for a rear yard setback reduction from 20 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 18C, 20A, and 24; a rear yard setback reduction from 15 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 22 and 23A, only if the planning areas are developed as age qualified homes; and new language regarding the of Municipal Services Community Facilities District. The Specific Plan Amendment will not increase the number of dwelling units previously approved within the Specific Plan. Staff has worked with the applicant to ensure that all concerns have been addressed, and the applicant concurs with the recommended Conditions of Approval. ANALYSIS The proposed Specific Plan Amendment will update to the development standards for a rear yard setback reduction from 20 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 18C, 20A, and 24 and a rear yard setback reduction from 15 feet to 10 feet for Planning Areas 22 and 23A only if the planning areas are developed as age qualified homes. Age qualified development is allowed within any planning area within the Specific Plan. To reside in one of the age qualified developments, residents must be 55 years of age or older, and each residential lot within the age qualified development will be controlled by a deed restriction. These reduced setbacks will result in homes with highly amenitized backyard features including high -quality paved patios with built-in seating, planters, barbeques, fire pits, and other amenities. The building floor plans and orientation on these lots will be conducive to maximizing the smaller backyards while enhancing outdoor function. These smaller backyards will also require less maintenance by the resident. The Specific Plan Amendment will also provide language regarding the Municipal Services Community Facilities District (CFD). Any development within the Phase II Properties of the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan is required to address impacts of the Project upon the City's budget as a result of the increased costs to the City of providing public safety and other municipal services to Phase II through annexation into the Municipal Services CFD. The Specific Plan Amendment also incorporates the school properties located in Planning Areas 28 and 29 into Community Facilities District No. 16-01, which provided for rates for public improvements (Special Tax A) and rates which mitigate the deficit due to the provision of municipal services (Special Tax B). The parcels will be annexed into the CFD upon the issuance of a building permit. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not revise the public improvements required of the Phase II builders, make any revisions to the current Development Agreement approved under the previous Specific Plan Amendments, nor increase the number of homes previously approved in the Specific Plan. C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Tech nologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@BOODE401\@BCL@BOODE401.doc LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the U-T San Diego on November 8, 2019 and mailed to the property owners within a 600-foot radius. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, staff has reviewed and considered the Final Environmental Impact Report ("FEIR") for the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan certified by the City Council on December 24, 2002 (State Clearinghouse No. 97121030 ("EIR"), including the impacts and mitigation measures identified therein, and the subsequent environmental reviews required as mitigation measures identified therein. Addendum No. 1 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on April 23, 2013 by the adoption of Resolution No. 13-04. Addendum No. 2 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on March 22, 2016 by the adoption of Resolution No. 16-02. Addendum No. 3 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on January 23, 2018 by the adoption of Resolution No. 18-06. Addendum No. 4 to the Final Environmental Impact Report was approved on November 6, 2019 by the adoption of Resolution No. 19-24. In compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 an Addendum to the EIR has been prepared which concludes that the proposed modifications do not result in any new or greater environmental impacts than were previously analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated. None of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present to require the preparation of a subsequent EIR, and no additional environmental review is required. FINDINGS Specific Plan Amendment (Code Section 17.16.020.E) The proposed specific plan amendment is consistent with the general plan and development code. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan discusses, at length, the consistency between the Specific Plan and the General Plan. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan does not make any material changes to the Specific Plan that would impact the consistency findings set forth in the Specific Plan. The findings of consistency contained in the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan are applicable and are incorporated herein by this reference. The General Plan's Land Use Element Goal I is to have a complete and integrated mix of residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, public and open space land uses. The Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan creates unified, cohesive neighborhoods, and a neighborhood -level commercial center. In addition to these land uses, the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plant provides neighborhood amenities, as well as open space and recreational facilities. Amendment No. S to the Specific Plan is also consistent with the City s development code because the City will require that all new construction comply with the City s design and building standards. The proposed specific plan amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the city. C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Tech nologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@BOODE401\@BCL@BOODE401.doc Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City because the Specific Plan clearly defines land uses, and establishes development standards, regulations and building criteria for each land use type. The proposed reduced setbacks add to the development standards and regulations and the Municipal Services CFD language does not change the number of approved lots or the size of the lots within the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan Area. The subject property is physically suitable for the requested land use designations and the anticipated land use developments. The subject property area has already been rough graded and erosion control/water quality management improvements were installed on site except in the habitat conservation area to be preserved along the Santa Gertrudis Creek for the land uses identified by the Roripaugh Ranch Specific Plan. Therefore, the property is physically suitable for the anticipated land use developments. The proposed specific plan amendment shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. Amendment No. 5 to the Specific Plan shall ensure development of desirable character which will be compatible with existing and proposed development in the surrounding neighborhood. With the reduced setbacks and Municipal Services CFD language the lot sizes and number of lots within the Specific Plan will remain unchanged from what was previously approved which allows the character of the neighborhood to remain.

Item No. 17 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: City Manager/City Council FROM: Peter Thorson, City Attorney DATE: January 14, 2020 SUBJECT: Conduct Public Meeting to Consider the Renewal of the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District and the Levy of an Assessment on Lodging Businesses within the District Pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 PREPARED BY: Peter Thorson, City Attorney RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council conduct the requisite public meeting to hear testimony regarding the proposed renewal of the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District ("VTVTBID") pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. BACKGROUND: In 2005, the City Council, with the unanimous consent of the lodging businesses within the City, established the Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (the 1989 Act"). The 1989 Act district implemented a 2% assessment on the room rents for the lodging businesses which, with unanimous support, was increased to 4% in 2009. In 2015, the Visit Temecula Valley ("VTV"), formerly known as The Convention and Visitor's Bureau, along with all of the lodging businesses within the City, requested the City to undertake proceedings to convert the 1989 Act district to a business improvement district formed under the Parking and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (the "1994 Act"). On February 10, 2015, the City Council adopted a resolution establishing the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District pursuant to the 1994 Act (the "VTVTBID"). The VTVTBID functions similar to the 1989 Act district except that the initial assessment for the VTVTBID has a duration of five years instead of the assessments needing to be levied every year. Like the 1989 Act district, the assessment levied within the VTVTBID is 4% on the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night, VTV is responsible for managing the funds and implementing the activities specified in each annual report that VTV must prepare for the VTVTBID. The assessment revenues must be used for marketing and promotions to increase tourism and market the Temecula Valley as a tourist destination that specially benefits lodging businesses located and operating within the City limits. The five-year duration of the assessment has allowed VTV to project revenues over a five year period and to develop long range projects for advertising and promotions for the benefit of lodging businesses within the City. The VTVTBID has been very successful and has succeeded in its goal of substantially increasing hotel stays in the City of Temecula. The assessment for the VTVTBID commenced with the fiscal year that began on March 1, 2015 and ended on February 28, 2016, and the term of the assessment will expire on February 29, 2020. The 1994 Act provides that any district previously established whose term has expired or will expire may be renewed by following the procedures for establishment of a district. The 1994 Act provides that upon renewal, a district shall have a term (i.e., the number of years in which the assessment may be levied) not to exceed 10 years. Accordingly, the City Council may renew the VTVTBID by following the procedures in the 1994 Act that the City followed in 2015 when it established the VTVTBID. The VTV and all of the lodging businesses in the City have requested the Council to undertake proceedings to renew the VTVTBID, with the assessments to have a new five-year term. The assessments are proposed to be based on the same fiscal year as for the existing assessment (March 1 st to February 28th or 29th), but with the term to expire on December 31, 2024 instead of on February 28, 2025 so as to ultimately align the VTVTBID's fiscal year with the calendar year. The 1994 Act provides that the City Council may initiate proceedings to renew the VTVTBID upon the submission of a petition signed by owners of lodging businesses who will pay more than 50% of the assessments proposed to be levied. The Director of Finance has determined that the petitions have been signed by the owners of all of the lodging businesses who will pay the assessments proposed to be levied (signed petition attached). The petition includes a summary of the Management District Plan which was prepared by the VTV. The Management District Plan includes the boundaries of the district, a description of the activities proposed for each year of operation of the renewed VTVTBID, the assessment rate, the total estimated amount proposed to be expended for the activities each year, the time and manner of collecting the assessments, the number of years (5) in which the assessment will be levied, and a list of the lodging businesses to be assessed. The boundaries, activities, and assessments are the same as set forth in the management district plan that was prepared in connection with the establishment of the VTVTBID in 2015. There were 15 lodging businesses when the VTVTBID was established and there currently are 18 lodging businesses. At your November 12, 2019 meeting, the City Council adopted a resolution declaring its intent to renew the VTVBID. As part of its consideration of this item, the City Council set the date for a public meeting on January 14, 2020, and scheduled a public hearing for January 28, 2020. A joint notice of the public meeting and public hearing was sent to all 18 of the affected lodging establishments. The purpose of the public meeting is to provide an opportunity for the City Council, lodging operators, and the public to receive further information and to discuss this item prior to the public hearing. No final decisions will be made at the January 14th meeting. At the January 28th public hearing, the City Council will be asked to consider protests and then vote whether to renew the VTVBID provided there is not a majority protest. FISCAL IMPACT: Upon renewal of the VTVTBID, the new assessment will be the same as the current assessment levied within the VTVTBID and the formation expenses and administrative expenses will be paid from the assessments. Lodging business will continue to collect a 4% assessment on room rents following the same process as used for the collection of the City's transient occupancy tax. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

There are several reasons why now is the right time to renew the VIVI`BID; the most compelling reasons are as follows: 1. TheNeed to Increase Occupancy The renewal of the VTVTBID is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding beyond that provided by the City. The funding will ensure that adequate financing exists for the investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and be competitive in the conference segment of the tourism market. The investment will cover an expanded marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment. 2. Stable Funding for Tourism Promotion The renewal of the VTVTBID will provide a stable source of funding for consistent tourism promotion efforts. The renewed VTVTBID will provide funding for tourism promotion free of political and economic circumstances. Temecula Lodging Businesses have benefitted from the prior Temecula Valley Tourism Business District and the existing VTVTBID for many years. The renewal of the VTVTBID under the 1994 Law will provide stable funding over a new five-year term, thereby allowing for continued long-range planning and program implementation.

SERVICE PLAN AND BUDGET A. Assessment No changes to the assessment levied within the existing VTVTBID are proposed upon the renewal of the VTVTBID. The annual assessment rate to be levied on each Lodging Business within the proposed renewed VTVTBID is based on the estimated specific and special benefit to the Lodging Businesses.

The specific and special benefit the VTVTBID will provide to Lodging Businesses, and will not provide to non -assessed businesses, is zoom night sales.

Conviction and punishment of any person for failure to comply shall not relieve such person from paying any assessment installment, penalty or interest due and unpaid at the time of such conviction nor shall payment prevent prosecution of a Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Page 10 violation of any of the above -described provisions.

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Developed by Visit Temecula Valley ("VTV'� and the lodging businesses within the City of Temecula, the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District ("VTVTBID' is a benefit assessment district which was established in 2015 to help fund marketing and sales promotion efforts for Temecula Valley lodging businesses. The VTV organization has successfully managed the district since 2015. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to improve tourism and drive additional room nights. The VTVTBID was established pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (California Streets and Highways Code Section 36600 et seq.) (the "1994 Law") and replaced the prior Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District which was established pursuant to the Parking and Business Improvement Area Law of 1989 (California Streets and Highways Code Section 36500 et seq.) and disestablished in 2015. The assessment for the VTVTBID commenced with the fiscal year that began on March 1, 2015 and ended on February 28, 2016, and the term of the assessment will expire on February 29, 2020 (in a new 1994 Law district, the maximum number of years in which the assessment may be levied is five years). The 1994 Law provides that any district previously established pursuant to the 1994 Law whose term has expired or will expire may be renewed by following the procedures for establishment of a district. The 1994 Law provides that upon renewal, a district shall have a term (i.e., the number of years in which the assessment may be levied) not to exceed 10 years. Accordingly, the City Council may renew the VTVTBID by following the procedures in the 1994 Law that the City followed in 2015 when it established the VTVTBID. The VTV and all of the lodging businesses in the City have requested the Council to undertake proceedings to renew the VTVTBID, with the assessments to have a new five-year term. An up to date version of the 1994 Law with all applicable amendments is available at: https:Hleginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes displayexpandedbranch.xhtml?tocCode=SHC&divis ion=18. &title=&part=7. &chapter=&article=. Location: No changes to the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID are proposed. The exterior boundaries of the existing VTVTBID are the boundaries of the City of Temecula (the "City"). The VTVTBID includes all lodging businesses, which include hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts as defined in Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.20.020 ("Lodging Businesses") within these boundaries. There are no benefit zones within the VTVTBID. Services: No changes to the services provided by the renewed VTVTBID are proposed. The services consist of marketing and sales promotions designed to specifically benefit Lodging Businesses by increasing tourism and marketing the Temecula Valley as a tourist, meeting and event destination. Budget: The total VTVTBID annual budget for each year of its new five (5) year term of operation upon renewal is anticipated to be approximately$8,590,256. The amount of revenues raised by the annual assessment proposed to be levied in year one of the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Plan Page 2 renewed VTVTBID is anticipated to be approximately $1,720,000. The annual revenues for each year of the remaining four years of the renewed VTVTBID's five-year term are expected to fluctuate in accordance with occupancy rates and rents charged by the operators of the Lodging Businesses within the renewed VTVTBID, but the amount is not anticipated to be significantly different each year. The City shall not issue bonds in connection with the renewed VTVTBID. The City shall retain from the assessments an amount equal to its actual expenses in renewing the VTVTBID, and 2% of collected assessments each year will be used to pay for collecting the assessments and administrative expenses of the City. Assessment: No changes to the assessment levied within the existing VTVTBID are proposed upon renewal of the VTVTBID. Except where funds are otherwise available, the City proposes to annually levy an assessment on all Lodging Businesses within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID based upon 4% of the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night to pay for activities within the renewed VTVTBID. Extended stays, defined as stays of more than 30 consecutive calendar days, and those exempt persons as defined in Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.20.040, will be exempt from the renewed VTVTBID assessment. New Lodging Businesses established within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID after the beginning of any fiscal year will not be exempt from the levy of assessment for that fiscal year. Assessments pursuant to the renewed VTVTBID shall not be included in gross room rental revenue for purpose of determining the amount of the transient occupancy tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 3.20 of the Temecula Municipal Code. Renewal: The City Council may initiate proceedings to renew the VTVTBID upon the submission of a written petition signed by the owners of Lodging Businesses within the proposed VTVTBID which will pay more than 50% of the assessments proposed to be levied. If the City Council, by resolution, declares its intention to renew the VTVTBID, the Council must hold a noticed meeting and a subsequent public hearing on the proposed renewal. The owners of the Lodging Businesses will receive a joint notice of the meeting and public hearing by mail. At the public hearing a protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the City Clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. Written protests may be mailed to the City Clerk, City of Temecula, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California 92590. The City Council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the City as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with these requirements shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed renewed VTVTBID that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Plan Page 3 protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the City Council. Duration: Upon renewal of the VTVTBID, the proposed assessments shall be levied for five fiscal years, beginning with the fiscal year that commences on March 1, 2020 and ends on February 28, 2021. The assessments are proposed to be based on the same fiscal year as for the existing assessment (March 1st to February 28th or 29th), but with the term to expire on December 31, 2024 instead of on February 28, 2025 so as to ultimately align the VTVTBID's fiscal year with the calendar year. After the expiration of the five-year term, the City Council may renew the assessment pursuant to Section 36600 of the 1994 Law. For purposes of levying and collecting assessments within the renewed VTVTBID, a fiscal year shall commence on March 1" and end on the following February 28th (or 29`h); provided the City Council may, by resolution, designate the fiscal year as July 1" to June 30'bof the following year, or any other fiscal year, subject to all applicable requirements of the 1994 Law. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of the renewal of the VTVTBID there shall be a 30-day period in which owners of the Lodging Businesses paying more than 50% of the assessment may petition the City Council to terminate the renewed VTVTBID. Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Plan Page 4 II. WHY A TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR TEMECULA VALLEY? There are several reasons why now is the right time to renew the VTVTBID; the most compelling reasons are as follows: L TheNeed to Increase Occupancy The renewal of the VTVTBID is a proactive effort to provide supplemental funding beyond that provided by the City. The funding will ensure that adequate financing exists for the investment required to increase occupancy in the lodging industry and be competitive in the conference segment of the tourism market. The investment will cover an expanded marketing and promotional budget needed to reach this market segment. 2. Stable Funding for Tourism Promotion The renewal of the VTVTBID will provide a stable source of funding for consistent tourism promotion efforts. The renewed VTVTBID will provide funding for tourism promotion free of political and economic circumstances. Temecula Lodging Businesses have benefitted from the prior Temecula Valley Tourism Business District and the existing VTVTBID for many years. The renewal of the VTVTBID under the 1994 Law will provide stable funding over a new five-year term, thereby allowing for continued long-range planning and program implementation. Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Plan Page 5 III. WHAT IS A TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT? Tourism Business Improvement Districts (TBIDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market -based promotion of tourism districts. TBIDs allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Lodging business owners within the district fund a TBID, and those funds are used to provide services that the businesses desire and that benefit the lodging businesses within the District. Tourism Business Improvement District services may include, but are not limited to: ➢ Marketing of the Destination ➢ Tourism Promotion Activities ➢ Sales Lead Generation In California, TBIDs are formed and renewed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 ("1994 Law'. This law allows for the creation and renewal of a special benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key d�o`erence between TBIDs and other pecial benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non -pro it co oration serving as the owner's association for the district. There are many benefits to Tourism Business Improvement Districts: )0- Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; ➢ Tourism Business Improvement Districts are customized to fit the needs of each tourism district; ➢ They allow for a wide range of services, including those listed above; ➢ Tourism Business Improvement Districts are designed, created and governed by those who w0paythe assessment; ➢ They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion.

SERVICE PLAN AND BUDGET A. Assessment No changes to the assessment levied within the existing VTVTBID are proposed upon the renewal of the VTVTBID. The annual assessment rate to be levied on each Lodging Business within the proposed renewed VTVTBID is based on the estimated specific and special benefit to the Lodging Businesses. Except where funds are otherwise available, the City proposes to annually levy an assessment on all Lodging Businesses within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID based upon 4% of the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night to pay for activities within the VTVTBID. Extended stays, defined as stays of more than 30 consecutive calendar days, and those exempt persons as defined in Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.20.040, will be exempt from the VTVTBID assessment. New Lodging Businesses established within the boundaries of the VTVTBID after the beginning of any fiscal year will not be exempt from the levy of assessment for that fiscal year. Assessments pursuant to the VTVTBID shall not be included in gross room rental revenue for purpose of determining the amount of the transient occupancy tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 3.20 of the Temecula Municipal Code. Bonds will not be issued. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for payment from the business. B. Determination of Special Benefit State law requires that assessment funds be expended on a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefit. Further, the assessment may be utilized to provide a specific government service directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service. Funds will be managed by VTA, which will submit annual reports to the City. The specific and special benefit the VTVTBID will provide to Lodging Businesses, and will not provide to non -assessed businesses, is room night sales. In order to provide a specific and special benefit and government service only to payors which does not exceed the reasonable cost thereof, the marketing and promotion services provided with the VTVTBID funds will be designed specifically to drive room night sales to assessed Lodging Businesses. C. Time and Manner for CollectingAssessments The proposed assessments shall be levied for five fiscal years, beginning with the fiscal year which begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on February 28, 2021. The City will collect the assessments from Lodging Businesses within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID in monthly installments or such other installments as determined pursuant to resolution of the City Council. The funds collected will be distributed to the VTV Board. Funds remaining at the end of any year may be used in subsequent years Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Page 9 in which VTVTBID assessments are levied as long as they are used consistent with the requirements of the 1994 Law and this Plan. Each operator of a Lodging Business shall, on or before the thirtieth day of each month, commencing in March 2020, make a return to the City's Director or Finance, or his or her designee, (the "assessment administrator', on forms provided by the assessment administrator, of the total rents charged and received for the immediately preceding month and the amount of assessment installment owed based on such rents. At such time, the full amount of the assessment installment shall be remitted to the assessment administrator and shall be delinquent if not paid by such date. If the thirtieth day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or City holiday, the return and payment shall be due on the first business day thereafter. Returns and payments are due immediately upon cessation of business for any reason and are delinquent thirty days thereafter. Each return shall be signed under penalty of perjury by a duly authorized agent of the operator. A return or payment made by mail shall be deemed received on the date shown on a postage cancellation stamp imprinted on the envelope in which the return or payment is received, or if a return or payment is made by means other than through the United States mail, a return or payment shall be deemed received on the date the payment is stamped "received" by the assessment administrator. Each assessment installment shall be subject to the same penalties and interest for nonpayment or fraud as are applicable to the transient occupancy tax pursuant to Chapter 3.20 of the Temecula Municipal Code. If any operator fails to make, within the required time, any report and remittance of the assessment installment or any required portion thereof, the assessment administrator shall proceed in such manner, as the assessment administrator deems best to obtain facts and information on which to base an estimate of the assessment installments due. As soon as the assessment administrator procures such facts and information as he or she is able to obtain upon which to base such estimate, the assessment administrator shall proceed to determine and assess against such operator the assessment installments, and applicable interest and penalties. In case such determination is made, the assessment administrator shall give a notice of the amount so assessed by serving it personally or by depositing it in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the subject operator at his last place of business known to the assessment administrator. The operator may make application for a hearing in the manner set forth in Section 3.20.100 of the Temecula Municipal Code, and, in such case, the provisions of such Section 3.20.100 of this title shall govern the application, hearing, and determination of the assessment installment, interest and penalties, if any, by the assessment administrator. An operator may appeal the determination of the assessment administrator to the City Council in the manner set forth in Section 3.20.110 of the Temecula Municipal Code and, in such case, the provisions of such Section 3.20.110 shall govern the appeal and the findings of the City Council, which findings shall be final and conclusive. The amount of assessment installments, and applicable penalties and interest shall be deemed a debt owed to the City by the operator of a Lodging Business. An action may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction in the name of the City for the amount of such debt. In addition to the assessment installments, penalties and interest, the operator shall be liable to the City for the costs of collection of the amounts due and the enforcement, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney fees, staff time and other costs of collection and litigation. Conviction and punishment of any person for failure to comply shall not relieve such person from paying any assessment installment, penalty or interest due and unpaid at the time of such conviction nor shall payment prevent prosecution of a Visit Temecula Valley Tourism Business Improvement District Management District Page 10 violation of any of the above -described provisions. All remedies shall be cumulative and the use of one or more remedies by the City shall not bar the use of any other remedy. Any operator of a Lodging Business or other person who fails or refuses to furnish any return required to be made, or who fails or refuses to furnish a supplemental return or other data required by the assessment administrator, or who renders a false or fraudulent return or claim, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person required to make, render, sign or verify any report or claim, who makes any false or fraudulent report or claim with intent to defeat or evade the determination of any amount due pursuant to the renewed VTVTBID is guilty of a misdemeanor. The assessment shall be levied on each Lodging Business in the renewed VTVTBID and each such Lodging Business shall be solely responsible for paying all installments when due. Without disturbance of the foregoing, a Lodging Business may elect to recover some or all of the amount of the assessment from persons owing rent to the Lodging Business. The amount to be recovered from any such person may not exceed the amount of rent owed by that person, multiplied by four percent. The amount so recovered shall be separately identified or itemized on a document provided to that person. It shall be the duty of every operator of a Lodging Business to keep and preserve, for a period of three years, all records as may be necessary to determine the amount of the assessments due. The assessment administrator shall have the authority to require the maintenance of certain records and the form of such records and shall have the right to inspect such records at all reasonable times. Whenever the amount of any assessment installment, interest or penalty has been overpaid or paid more than once or has been erroneously or illegally collected or received by the City, it may be refunded provided a claim in writing therefor, stating under penalty of perjury the specific grounds upon which the claim is founded, is filed with the assessment administrator within one year of the date of payment. The claim shall be on forms furnished by the assessment administrator. No refund shall be paid unless the claimant established his right thereto by written records showing entitlement thereto. D.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that at 7:00 p.m. on January 14, 2020, at the City of Temecula City Council Chambers, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California, a public meeting shall be held pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.6 to allow public testimony regarding the renewal of the VTVTBID and the levy of assessments therein as set forth in the enclosed Resolution of Intention. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that 7:00 p.m. on January 28, 2020, at the City of Temecula City Council Chambers, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California, has been set as the time and place for a public hearing at which time the Council will consider renewing the VTVTBID and levying assessments as set forth in the enclosed Resolution of Intention. Boundaries: No changes to the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID are proposed. The exterior boundaries of the existing VTVTBID are the boundaries of the City of Temecula. The VTVTBID includes all Lodging Businesses within these boundaries. There are no benefit zones within the VTVTBID. Assessment: No changes to the assessments levied within the existing VTVTBID are proposed upon renewal of the VTVTBID. Except where funds are otherwise available, the City proposes to annually levy an assessment on all Lodging Businesses within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID based upon 4% of the rent charged by the operator per occupied room per night to pay for activities within the renewed VTVTBID. Extended stays, defined as stays of more than 30 consecutive calendar days, and those exempt persons as defined in Temecula Municipal Code Section 3.20.040, will be exempt from the renewed VTVTBID assessment. New Lodging Businesses established within the boundaries of the renewed VTVTBID after the beginning of any fiscal year will not be exempt from the levy of assessment for that fiscal year. Budget: The total VTVTBID annual budget for the initial year of its new five (5) year term of operation upon renewal is anticipated to be approximately $1,720,000. The annual revenues for each year of the remaining four years of the renewed VTVTBID's five-year term are expected to fluctuate in accordance with occupancy rates and rents charged by the operators of the Lodging Businesses within the renewed VTVTBID, but the amount is not anticipated to be significantly different each year. The City shall not issue bonds in connection with the renewed VTVTBID. Services: No changes to the services provided by the renewed VTVTBID are proposed. The services consist of marketing and sales promotions designed to specifically benefit Lodging Businesses by increasing tourism and marketing the Temecula Valley as a tourist, meeting and event destination. The City shall retain from the assessments an amount equal to its actual expenses in renewing the VTVTBID, and 2% of collected assessments each year will be used to pay for collecting the assessments and administrative expenses of the City. The City shall forward the assessment revenues to Visit Temecula Valley ("VTV") which will have the responsibility of implementing VTVTBID programs as more fully described in the Management District Plan approved by the Council on November 12, 2019, and on file with the City Clerk. Collection: Upon renewal of the VTVTBID, the proposed assessments shall be levied for five fiscal years, beginning with the fiscal year that commences on March 1, 2020 and ends on February 28, 2021. The assessments are proposed to be based on the same fiscal year as for the existing assessment (March 1 st to February 28 or 29), but with the term to expire on December 31, 2024 instead of on February 28, 2025 so as to ultimately align the VTVTBID's fiscal year with the calendar year. The City will collect the assessments from Lodging Businesses within the boundaries of the VTVTBID in monthly installments or such other installments as determined pursuant to resolution of the Council. Protest: At the public hearing a protest may be made orally or in writing by any interested person. Every written protest shall be filed with the City Clerk at or before the time fixed for the public hearing. Written protests may be mailed to the City Clerk, City of Temecula, 41000 Main Street, Temecula, California 92590. The Council may waive any irregularity in the form or content of any written protest. A written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing. Each written protest shall contain a description of the business in which the person subscribing the protest is interested sufficient to identify the business and, if a person subscribing is not shown on the official records of the City as the owner of the business, the protest shall contain or be accompanied by written evidence that the person subscribing is the owner of the business or the authorized representative. A written protest that does not comply with these requirements shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed renewed VTVTBID that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessments against such businesses, as contained in the Resolution of Intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the Council.

Introduce and read by title only an ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE NO. 20- AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA AMENDING TITLE 17 OF THE TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A DEFINITION OF SHORT-TERM RENTALS AND ADDING SHORT-TERM RENTALS TO THE USE REGULATION TABLE, AND FINDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE IS EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15061 (13)(3) 2. Adopt a resolution entitled: RESOLUTION NO.20- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA ESTABLISHING THE SCHEDULE OF ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION FINES FOR ILLEGAL SHORT- TERM RENTALS PURSUANT TO TEMECULA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 1.21.060 BACKGROUND: The short-term rental (STR) market emerged as part of the on-line "sharing economy" where homeowners rent a room or their entire home for short stays, such as overnight, weekends, or even a week in some cases. Generally, the stays are short and not more than 30 consecutive days. These STRs are often done as a way to generate rental income by the owner of the home. The use of STRs by tourists has turned into a booming unregulated economy, growing immensely in recent years. Staff s research in 2017 showed there have been as many as 300 unpermitted STRs in the City of Temecula. The number of short term rentals varies depending on the time of year and the type of activities or events occurring around the community. This increase in STR use correlates to an increase in complaints from residents about neighborhood impacts. STRs are seen as providing a different experience than that of the traditional hotel stay where renters, which may include friends and family members, can stay in a home at an affordable price and have full use of the amenities offered by the STR host. This, at times, has led to the City receiving complaints about renters generating excessive noise, disorderly conduct, traffic congestion, illegal parking, and accumulation of trash. The increase in use of STRs may also be contributing to a recent decrease in hotel occupancy as well as a decrease in collection of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). As a result of numerous complaints from residents regarding STRs, staff was directed to research STRs and conduct outreach efforts within the community for the purpose of educating the public and to obtain information regarding the public perception, interest, and support or opposition to STRs. In April 2018, staff entered into an agreement with HARC Consulting to assist with the community outreach meetings and to prepare a report summarizing the outreach effort and conclusions for consideration in developing policies or regulations related to STRs. Between July and August of 2018, a total of five community outreach meetings were held; one within each City Council district within the City. The meetings were facilitated by City staff in partnership with HARC. The meetings began with City staff providing a short informational session about short term rentals and their implications for the City. At each of the community outreach meetings, staff presented a slide that informed attendees that short-term rentals are not permitted (Bed and Breakfast establishments were noted to be conditionally permitted with a valid Conditional Use Permit). Community members were given the opportunity to provide input. Three common themes emerged from public comments at the outreach meetings: 1) Positive Comments — STR guests generally rate their experiences as good to very good, STRs create local jobs, and STRs supplement a host's income; 2) Negative Comments — Noise and safety impacts quality of life of neighboring residents, lack of accountability of host, and lack of adequate response from the City and Police Department to complaints; and 3) Proposed Solutions — The City needs to develop specific regulations, host needs to live nearby or on -site, and the City needs to establish fines and penalties for STRs. At the November 13, 2018 City Council meeting, staff presented the STR community outreach results. The presentation contained a slide that once again stated that short-term rentals are prohibited (with Bed and Breakfast establishments being conditionally permitted with a valid Conditional Use Permit). During that meeting, speakers spoke both in opposition to STRs and in support of STRs. At the conclusion of that meeting, City Council directed staff to develop a framework around a "hosted" STR ordinance. A hosted short-term rental is one that operates with a host ("owner home sharing"). A non -hosted short-term rental operates without any requirement for a host ("whole house rental"). At the March 12, 2019 City Council meeting, staff presented a proposed "hosted" short-term rental framework. Again, this presentation included a slide that informed attendees that short-term rentals are not permitted (Bed and Breakfast establishments were noted to be conditionally permitted with a valid Conditional Use Permit). During that meeting, speakers spoke both in opposition and support of STRs. At the conclusion the public testimony, the City Council discussed the proposed framework, and concerns with enforcing hosted short-term rentals. Additionally, the City Council reaffirmed that non -hosted short-term rentals were no longer a policy option. Further discussion resulted in the City Council providing staff with three tasks. Staff was directed to: 1) Proceed with a RFP/Contract with a third party vendor to monitor STR activity in the City 2) Return to the City Council with an updated fine for unpermitted STRs 3) Return to the City Council STR Subcommittee to further discuss the hosted STR ordinance On April 17, 2019, staff met with the Planning Commission STR Subcommittee (Guerriero/Turley-Trejo). During that meeting, the PC Subcommittee was updated on the progress of the three tasks. Staff also informed the PC Subcommittee that an ordinance with a short-term rental definition and an amendment (re -affirming the existing prohibition) to the land use table would be forthcoming. Staff met with the City Council STR Subcommittee on April 23, 2019. During that meeting, staff presented an update on the third party compliance vendor, fine structures, and the return of a hosted STR ordinance. The STR Subcommittee recommended that staff proceed with the updating the fine for unpermitted STRs. Additionally, the STR Subcommittee recommended that staff work through the process of enforcing the updates prior to returning to the City Council with a hosted ordinance. The STR Subcommittee also recommended that staff return to the City Council after 365 days of enforcement to further discuss future changes. On June 5, 2019, staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission. Again, the presentation to the Planning Commission included a slide that informed attendees that short- term rentals are not permitted (Bed and Breakfast establishments were noted to be conditionally permitted with a valid Conditional Use Permit). Speakers spoke both in support and in opposition to the proposed amendments. Prior to the hearing, a petition to delay the hearing was received. The Planning Commission was provided with a copy of this petition, and a copy was made available to the public. The Planning Commission approved Resolution 19-17 (4-0 vote) recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments. On June 25, 2019, staff provided a status update to the City Council Subcommittee on the progress of the three tasks. The Subcommittee recommended that staff only draft an ordinance reaffirming the existing prohibition of short term rentals and updating the fine structure for unpermitted STRs to bring back to the full City Council in the future. In addition, the Subcommittee recommended to increase enforcement of unpermitted STRs. Since that time, staff has selected a third party compliance vendor, Host Compliance, and completed third party compliance vendor training. Staff met with the City Council STR Subcommittee on December 10, 2019. During that meeting, staff provided an update on the progress of the ordinance and the above three tasks. EFFECTS ON HOUSING SUPPLY: In addition to the complaints generated by STRs, there is increasing pressure from the State of California for local municipalities to address the current housing crisis. In order to address housing issues, cities are required to analyze and forecast housing in the Housing Element of their General Plan every eight years. During each eight -year housing cycle, cities are allocated a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) number. Cities are required to report on RHNA progress annually. The City's 2018 RHNA Annual Progress Report documented 90 new housing units. According to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), 180,000 additional housing units are needed statewide (annually) to keep up with existing and projected housing demand. The lack of available housing has created a situation where residents of California are paying an unsustainable amount of their income towards rent. More than three million households pay more than 30 percent of their income towards rent; 1.5 million households pay more than 50 percent of their income towards rent. The lack of affordable housing is also frequently cited as a contributing factor to increased homelessness. The 300 housing units that are being utilized for unpermitted short-term rentals cannot be quickly replaced with new housing units and they continue to reduce the City's housing supply. As the City begins on a required Housing Element update, housing losses associated with unpermitted short-term rentals are becoming a serious concern for the City and communities throughout the state. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: To adequately address prohibited short-term rentals and gain compliance, City Council requested staff to increase fines for unpermitted short-term rentals. In order to have a fine that is specific to short-term rentals, the Temecula Municipal Code will need to add a definition for that term. Short-term rentals are currently prohibited under the City's permissive zoning code. Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.01.080 states, "[n]o person shall use any premises except as specifically permitted by and subject to the regulations and conditions of this development code." The City is looking to reaffirm the prohibition of short-term rentals due to the recent proliferation of short-term rentals that are operating in violation of the Temecula Municipal Code. The proposed amendments before the City Council include two changes. The first change adds a definition of short-term rentals. The definition is as follows: ""Short-term rental" shall mean the rental of a dwelling unit (in whole or in part), accessory structure, and/or a recreational vehicle located upon a parcel or a portion thereof, by owner(s) or lessee(s) to another person or group of people for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for a period of less than 30 consecutive calendar days. A short-term rental includes any contract or agreement that initially defined the rental term to be greater than 30 consecutive days and which was subsequently amended, either verbally or in writing to permit the occupant(s) of the owner(s) or lessee(s) short-term rental to surrender the subject dwelling unit before the expiration of the initial rental term that results in an actual rental term of less than 30 consecutive days. The rental of units within city -approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, community care facilities, and social care facilities shall not be considered to be a short-term rental." The second change adds a new row to Table 17.06.030 that lists short-term rentals as a prohibited use in all residential zones. As presented at multiple public meetings, short-term rentals are currently prohibited under City's permissive zoning. The addition of a new row prohibiting short- term rentals will only reaffirm this existing prohibition. PROPOSED FINE RESOLUTION: In coordination with the proposed Temecula Municipal Code amendments, a resolution is being brought before the City Council to increase the fines for unpermitted short-term rentals to $1,000. A $1,000 fine is the maximum permissible fine for an ordinance violation in a general law city, under Government Code §36901. Discussions with other cities and peer analysis shows that higher fines may be necessary to address unpermitted short-term rentals. Cities with inadequate fines have observed short-term rental operators that simply absorb fines instead of stopping unpermitted operations. Consequently, the City's current escalating fine structure of $50, $150, and $250 is inadequate to address short-term rentals. The proposed resolution would increase initial and subsequent fines for illegal short-term rentals to $1,000 per day if a violator did not remediate the issue after a warning. The proposed fine will be specific to short-term rentals in order to ensure that other Temecula Municipal Code violations (e.g., leaving trash cans in the street) are not affected by the proposed fine increase. SUMMARY: If approved, the proposed ordinance and resolution would do the following: 1) The Temecula Municipal Code would be amended to add a definition of short-term rentals. 2) The Temecula Municipal Code would be amended to add short-term rentals to the land use matrix. (Short-term rentals are already prohibited under the City's permissive zoning. The addition of short-term rentals to the land use matrix as a prohibited use will re -affirm the existing prohibtion.) 3) A resoultion would be adopted to increase the administrative citation fines to $1,000 FISCAL IMPACT: Community Development budgeted sufficient funds for the ordinance development and fee study, which will include administrative costs, and enforcement.

Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. City staff identified the need to make revisions and clarifications to portions of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code. B. The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code ("Ordinance") on June 5, 2019, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or opposition to this matter. C. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19-17, recommending that the City Council approve the Title 17 amendments. D. The City Council, at a regular meeting, considered the Ordinance on January 14, 2020, at a duly noticed public hearing, as prescribed by law, at which time the City Staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support or opposition to this matter. E. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire record of information received at the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. Section 2. Further Findings. The City Council, in approving the proposed Ordinance, hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code do not propose any land use that is inconsistent with the Temecula General Plan. Short-term rentals are an unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning code as well as the General Plan's residential use descriptions. The amendments update Title 17 to include a definition of short-term rentals and to expressly identify short term rentals as an unpermitted use in the City which is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the general plan. The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the amendment that will further clarify that short-term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City is consistent with Goal 5 of the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, which is to ensure "A land use pattern that protects and enhances residential neighborhoods." The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the proposed amendment will expressly identify short-term rentals as an unpermitted use, is consistent with the residential uses description of in the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, "Residential uses are intended to be the principal and dominant use within each of the residential designations." 3. The proposed use is to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein. The City currently prohibits short term rentals in residential zones because this use is not identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the City. The proposed amendment that will add a short-term rental definition, and that will expressly identify short term rentals as a prohibited use in the City is consistent with the Temecula Municipal Code and the adopted General Plan. Section 3. Further Findings. The City operates under a permissive zoning code. Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.01.080 provides that "[n]o person shall use any premises except as specifically permitted by and subject to the regulations and conditions of this development code." Under a permissive zoning code "any use not enumerated in the code is presumptively prohibited." (City of Corona v. Naulls, 166 Cal.AppAth 418, 425, 433 (2008).) "Where a particular use of land is not expressly enumerated in a city's municipal code as constituting a permissible use, it follows that such use is impermissible." (Id.) The omission of any particular land use from local zoning regulations is the equivalent of an express ban unless a designated official finds that the proposed use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those land uses listed in the code. (Id. at 433-436.) Table 17.06.030 of the Temecula Municipal Code identifies the uses that are specifically permitted in residential districts and under this permissive zoning scheme, if a use is not listed, it is prohibited. Staff has consistently interpreted the City's Municipal Code as banning short term rentals as this use is not expressly identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in Table 17.06.030. Given the recent proliferation of short term rentals that are operating in violation of the Temecula Municipal Code, the City Council finds that it is necessary to now expressly prohibit short term rentals. This express prohibition reaffirms the City's longstanding prohibition on short-term rentals. Section 4. Environmental Findings. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance would have a significant impact on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The proposed Municipal Code amendments clarify that short term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City (they are already prohibited under the City's permissive zoning). These amendments do not result in any increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. Section 17.34.010 (Definitions and illustrations of terms.) of Chapter 17.34 (Definitions of Terms) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows with all other definitions remaining unchanged: ""Short-term rental" shall mean the rental of a dwelling unit (in whole or in part), accessory structure, and/or a recreational vehicle located upon a parcel or a portion thereof, by owner(s) or lessee(s) to another person or group of people for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for a period of less than 30 consecutive calendar days. A short-term rental includes any contract or agreement that initially defined the rental term to be greater than 30 consecutive days and which was subsequently amended, either verbally or in writing to permit the occupant(s) of the owner(s) or lessee(s) short-term rental to surrender the subject dwelling unit before the expiration of the initial rental term that results in an actual rental term of less than 30 consecutive days. The rental of units within city -approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, community care facilities, and social care facilities shall not be considered to be a short-term rental." Section 6. Table 17.06.030 (Residential Districts) of Section 17.06.030 (Use regulation) of Chapter 17.06 (Residential Districts) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text), with all other provisions of Table 17.06.030 remaining unchanged: Table 17.06.030 Residential Districts Description of Use HR RR VL L-1 L-2 LM M H HR- SM9 Construction trailers ,6 P P P P P P P P P Short-term rentals - - - - - - - - - Section 7.

Notice of Public Hearinq THE CITY OF TEMECULA 41000 Main Street Temecula, CA 92590 A PUBLIC HEARING has been scheduled before the CITY COUNCIL to consider the matter(s) described below. Case No.: LR17-1064 Applicant: City of Temecula Location: Citywide Proposal: Long Range Planning Project No. LR17-1064, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Temecula amending Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code to add a definition of short-term rentals and adding short-term rentals to the use regulation table. Additionally, the City Council will also consider a resolution establishing the schedule of administrative citation fines for illegal short-term rentals pursuant to Temecula Municipal Code Section 1.21.060. On June 5, 2019, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Municipal Code amendments and recommended on a 4-0 vote, that the City Council adopt the proposed amendments. Environmental Action: In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed ordinance and resolution are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance and resolution will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Municipal Code amendments do not change existing City regulations as short-term rentals are already unpermitted uses under the City's permissive zoning scheme. The proposed Municipal Code amendments define short-term rentals and expressly preclude short term rentals in all residential zones in the City. This would not result in any increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed. The proposed resolution for administrative citation fines for illegal short-term rentals would enhance the City's ability to effectively cite illegal short-term rentals.

The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: The Planning Commission, in recommending adoption of the proposed Ordinance, hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code do not propose any land use that is inconsistent with the Temecula General Plan. Short-term rentals are an unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning code as well as the General Plan's residential use descriptions.

The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the general plan. The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the amendment that will further clarify that short-term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City is consistent with Goal 5 of the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, which is to ensure "A land use pattern that protects and enhances residential neighborhoods."

The proposed amendment that will add a short-term rental definition, and that will expressly identify short term rentals as a prohibited use in the City is consistent with the Temecula Municipal Code and the adopted General Plan. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 19- is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Municipal Code amendments further clarify an already unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning and define short-term rentals, which do not result in a significant increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed. The Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance. Section 4. Recommendation.

CEQA: Categorically Exempt Title 14, Chapter 3, California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), Section 15061(B) (3). RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution recommending that the City Council to adopt an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code to add a definition of short-term rentals and adding short-term rentals to the use regulation table. BACKGROUND SUMMARY The short-term rental (STR) market emerged as part of the on-line "sharing economy" where homeowners rent a room or their entire home for short stays, such as overnight, weekends, or even a week in some cases. Generally, the stays are short and not more than 30 consecutive days. These STRs are often done as a way to generate rental income by the owner of the home. The use of STRs by tourists has turned into a booming unregulated economy, growing immensely in recent years. Staff s research in 2017 showed there have been as many as 300 unpermitted STRs in the City of Temecula. The number of short term rentals varies depending on the time of year and the type of activities or events occurring around the community. This increase in STR use correlates to an increase in complaints from residents about neighborhood impacts. STRs are seen as providing a different experience than that of the traditional hotel stay where renters, which may include friends and family members, can stay in a home at an affordable price and have full use of the amenities offered by the STR host. This, at times, has led to the City receiving complaints about renters generating excessive noise, disorderly conduct, traffic congestion, illegal parking, and accumulation of trash. The increase in use of STRs may also be contributing to a recent decrease in hotel occupancy as well as a decrease in collection of Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). As a result of recent numerous complaints from residents regarding STRs, staff was directed to research STRs and conduct outreach efforts within the community for the purpose of educating the public about STRs and to obtain information regarding the public perception, interest, and support or opposition to STRs. In April of 2018, staff entered into an agreement with HARC Consulting to assist with the community outreach meetings and to prepare a report summarizing the outreach effort and conclusions for consideration in developing policies or regulations related to STRs. Between July and August of 2018, a total of five community outreach meetings were held; one within each City Council district within the City. The meetings were facilitated by City staff in partnership with HARC. The meetings began with City staff providing a short informational session about short term rentals and their implications for the City. Next, community members were given the opportunity to provide input. Public Comment at Outreach Meetings Three common themes emerged: 1) Positive Comments — STR guests generally rate their experiences as good to very good, STRs create local jobs, and STRs supplement a host's income; 2) Negative Comments — Noise and safety impacts quality of life of neighboring residents, lack of accountability of host, and lack of adequate response from the City and Police Department to complaints; and 3) Proposed Solutions — The City needs to develop specific regulations, host needs to live nearby or on -site, and the City needs to establish fines and penalties for STRs. At the November 13, 2018 City Council meeting, staff presented the STR community meeting and survey results. During that meeting, speakers spoke in opposition to STRs and in support of STRs. At the conclusion of that meeting, the City Council directed staff to develop a framework around a "hosted" STR ordinance. A hosted short-term rental is one that operates with a host ("owner home sharing"). A non -hosted short-term rental operates without any requirement for a host ("whole house rental"). At the March 12, 2019 City Council meeting, staff presented a proposed "hosted" short-term rental framework. During that meeting, speakers spoke in opposition to STRs and in support of STRs. At the conclusion of the public testimony, the City Council discussed the proposed framework. Additionally, the City Council reaffirmed that non -hosted short-term rentals were no longer a policy option. Further discussion resulted in the City Council providing staff with three tasks. Staff was directed to: 2 1) Proceed with a RFP/Contract with a third party compliance vendor 2) Return to the City Council with an updated fine and enforcement ordinance 3) Return to the City Council STR subcommittee to further discuss the hosted STR ordinance Since the March 12, 2019 City Council meeting, staff has been working on the above tasks. On April 17, 2019, staff met with the Planning Commission STR Subcommittee (Guerriero/Turley- Trejo). During that meeting, the PC subcommittee was updated on the progress of the three tasks. Staff also informed the PC Subcommittee that an ordinance with a short-term rental definition and an amendment to the land use table would be forthcoming in June. Staff met with the City Council STR Subcommittee on April 23, 2019 (Rahn/Stewart). During that meeting, staff presented an update on the 3rd party compliance vendor, fine/enforcement ordinance, and the return of a hosted STR ordinance. During that meeting, the STR Subcommittee recommended that staff proceed with the fine and enforcement ordinance. Additionally, the STR Subcommittee recommended that staff work through the process of enforcing the new ordinance prior to returning to the City Council with a hosted ordinance. The STR Subcommittee also recommended that staff return to the City Council after one year of enforcement to further discuss a hosted STR ordinance. Proposed Amendments In order to adequately address prohibited short-term rentals, there is a need to increase fines for unpermitted short-term rentals. A specific ordinance with a proposed fine structure will be presented to the City Council at a future hearing. Before staff can provide a fine that is specific to short-term rentals, the Temecula Municipal Code will need to add a definition for short-term rentals. Short-term rentals are currently prohibited under the City's permissive zoning code. Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.01.080 states, "[n]o person shall use any premises except as specifically permitted by and subject to the regulations and conditions of this development code." The City is looking to reaffirm the prohibition of short-term rentals due to the recent proliferation of short-term rentals that are operating in violation of the Temecula Municipal Code. The proposed amendments before the Planning Commission include two changes. First, a definition of short-term rentals will be added. The definition is a follows: ""Short-term rental" shall mean the rental of a dwelling unit (in whole or in part), accessory structure, and/or a recreational vehicle located upon a parcel or a portion thereof, by owner(s) or lessee(s) to another person or group of people for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for a period of less than 30 consecutive calendar days. A short-term rental includes any contract or agreement that initially defined the rental term to be greater than 30 consecutive days and which was subsequently amended, either verbally or in writing to permit the occupant(s) of the owner(s) or lessee(s) short-term rental to surrender the subject dwelling unit before the expiration of the initial rental term that results in an actual rental term of less than 30 consecutive days. 3 The rental of units within city -approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, community care facilities, and social care facilities shall not be considered to be a short-term rental. " Secondly, a new row would be added to Table 17.06.030 that lists short-term rentals as a prohibited use in all residential zones. As mentioned before, short-term rentals are currently prohibited under City's permissive zoning. The addition of a new row prohibiting short-term rentals will only reaffirm this existing prohibition. LEGAL NOTICING REQUIREMENTS Notice of the public hearing was published in the SD Union Tribune on May 23, 2019. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Title 14, Chapter 3, California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines), Section 15061(b)(3), the proposed project has been deemed to be categorically exempt from further environmental review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission adopt a Resolution recommending that City Council adopt an ordinance amending Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code to add a definition of short-term rentals and adding short-term rentals to the use regulation table.

Section 1. Procedural Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. City staff identified the need to make revisions and clarifications to portions of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code. B. The Ordinance was processed including, but not limited to a public notice, in the time and manner prescribed by State and local law. C. The Planning Commission, at a regular meeting, considered the proposed amendments to Title 17 Zoning of the Temecula Municipal Code on June 5, 2019, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to, and did testify either in support or opposition to this matter. D. The Ordinance is consistent with the City of Temecula General Plan, and each element thereof. E. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the Ordinance attached hereto as Exhibit "A". F. All legal preconditions to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. Section 2. Further Findings. The Planning Commission of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: The Planning Commission, in recommending adoption of the proposed Ordinance, hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code do not propose any land use that is inconsistent with the Temecula General Plan. Short-term rentals are an unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning code as well as the General Plan's residential use descriptions. The amendments update Title 17 to include a definition of short-term rentals and to expressly identify short term rentals as an unpermitted use in the City which is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the general plan. The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the amendment that will further clarify that short-term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City is consistent with Goal 5 of the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, which is to ensure "A land use pattern that protects and enhances residential neighborhoods." The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the proposed amendment will expressly identify short-term rentals as an unpermitted use, is consistent with the residential uses description of in the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, "Residential uses are intended to be the principal and dominant use within each of the residential designations." 3. The proposed use is to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein. The City currently prohibits short term rentals in residential zones because this use is not identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the City. The proposed amendment that will add a short-term rental definition, and that will expressly identify short term rentals as a prohibited use in the City is consistent with the Temecula Municipal Code and the adopted General Plan. Section 3. Environmental Compliance. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed Ordinance No. 19- is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061 (b) (3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed Municipal Code amendments further clarify an already unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning and define short-term rentals, which do not result in a significant increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed. The Planning Commission, therefore, recommends that the City Council of the City of Temecula adopt a Notice of Exemption for the proposed ordinance. Section 4. Recommendation. The City of Temecula Planning Commission hereby recommends the City Council approve Planning Application No. LR17-1064, a proposed Citywide Ordinance as set forth on Exhibit "A", attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Procedural Findings. The City Council of the City of Temecula does hereby find, determine and declare that: A. City staff identified the need to make revisions and clarifications to portions of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code. B. The Planning Commission considered the proposed amendments to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code ("Ordinance") on June 5, 2019, at a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law, at which time the City staff and interested persons had an opportunity to and did testify either in support of or opposition to this matter. C. At the conclusion of the Planning Commission hearing and after due consideration of the testimony, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 19- , recommending that the City Council approve the Title 17 amendments. D.

E. Following the public hearing, the City Council considered the entire record of information received at the public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. Section 2. Further Findings. The City Council, in approving the proposed Ordinance, hereby makes the following additional findings as required by Section 17.01.040 ("Relationship to General Plan") of the Temecula Municipal Code: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the land use designation in which the use is located, as shown on the land use map, or is described in the text of the general plan. The proposed amendments to Title 17 of the Temecula Municipal Code do not propose any land use that is inconsistent with the Temecula General Plan. Short-term rentals are an unpermitted use under the City's permissive zoning code as well as the General Plan's residential use 1 descriptions. The amendments update Title 17 to include a definition of short-term rentals and to expressly identify short term rentals as an unpermitted use in the City which is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The proposed use is in conformance with the goals, policies, programs and guidelines of the elements of the general plan. The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the amendment that will further clarify that short-term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City is consistent with Goal 5 of the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, which is to ensure "A land use pattern that protects and enhances residential neighborhoods." The proposed short-term rental definition, as well as the proposed amendment will expressly identify short-term rentals as an unpermitted use, is consistent with the residential uses description of in the Land Use Element of the Temecula General Plan, "Residential uses are intended to be the principal and dominant use within each of the residential designations." 3. The proposed use is to be established and maintained in a manner which is consistent with the general plan and all applicable provisions contained therein. The City currently prohibits short term rentals in residential zones because this use is not identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in the City. The proposed amendment that will add a short-term rental definition, and that will expressly identify short term rentals as a prohibited use in the City is consistent with the Temecula Municipal Code and the adopted General Plan. Section 3. Further Findings. The City operates under a permissive zoning code. Temecula Municipal Code Section 17.01.080 provides that "[n]o person shall use any premises except as specifically permitted by and subject to the regulations and conditions of this development code." Under a permissive zoning code "any use not enumerated in the code is presumptively prohibited." (City of Corona v. Naulls, 166 Cal.App.4th 418, 425, 433 (2008).) "Where a particular use of land is not expressly enumerated in a city's municipal code as constituting a permissible use, it follows that such use is impermissible." (Id.) The omission of any particular land use from local zoning regulations is the equivalent of an express ban unless a designated official finds that the proposed use is substantially the same in character and intensity as those land uses listed in the code. (Id. at 433-436.) Table 17.06.030 of the Temecula Municipal Code identifies the uses that are specifically permitted in residential districts and under this permissive zoning scheme, if a use is not listed, it is prohibited. Staff has consistently interpreted the City's Municipal Code as banning short term rentals as this use is not expressly identified as a permitted or conditionally permitted use in Table 17.06.030. Given the recent proliferation of short term rentals that are operating in violation of the Temecula Municipal Code, the City Council finds that it is necessary to now expressly prohibit short term rentals. This express prohibition reaffirms the City's longstanding prohibition on short-term rentals. Section 4. Environmental Findings. The City Council hereby finds that this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed ordinance would have a 2 significant impact on the environment pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The proposed Municipal Code amendments clarify that short term rentals are an unpermitted use in the City (they are already prohibited under the City's permissive zoning). These amendments do not result in any increase in the intensity or density of any land use above what is currently allowed. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and will be filed in accordance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. Section 5. Section 17.34.010 (Definitions and illustrations of terms.) of Chapter 17.34 (Definitions of Terms) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows with all other definitions remaining unchanged: ""Short-term rental" shall mean the rental of a dwelling unit (in whole or in part), accessory structure, and/or a recreational vehicle located upon a parcel or a portion thereof, by owner(s) or lessee(s) to another person or group of people for occupancy, dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes for a period of less than 30 consecutive calendar days. A short-term rental includes any contract or agreement that initially defined the rental term to be greater than 30 consecutive days and which was subsequently amended, either verbally or in writing to permit the occupant(s) of the owner(s) or lessee(s) short-term rental to surrender the subject dwelling unit before the expiration of the initial rental term that results in an actual rental term of less than 30 consecutive days. The rental of units within city -approved hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, community care facilities, and social care facilities shall not be considered to be a short-term rental." Section 6. Table 17.06.030 (Residential Districts) of Section 17.06.030 (Use regulation) of Chapter 17.06 (Residential Districts) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the Temecula Municipal Code is hereby amended as follows (with additions appearing in underlined text), with all other provisions of Table 17.06.030 remaining unchanged: Table 17.06.030 Residential Districts Description of Use HR RR VL L-1 L-2 LM M H HR- SM9 Construction trailers5,6 P P P P P P P P P Short-term rentals - - - - - - - - - Section 7.
