25/801 CP-65 Amendment to the City Ethics Code
PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: I CITY MANAGER'S ""�VIEW,/
Councilman Herman Stute rt a r4%r've�l�
Background
The City Council adopted, as an element of the approved 1979-80 City Budget, an
appropriation of $25,000 to the North Texas Commission.
On October 9, 1979, the Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a contract
with the North Texas Commission. Department of Law review of the contract revealed a
conflict between the provision that the Mayor or Council members serve on the Board of
the North Texas Commission and the Ethics Code.
Proposal
It is proposed that the City Council move to amend the definition of "substantial
interest" such that a provision is made whereby Council members may serve on the
jOo' governing bodies of non-profit entities if appointed by Council to that post and if
they serve without remuneration.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending the
definition of "substantial interest" in the Ethics Code.
ow Legality
The Department of Law has previously indicated to the Council on December 10, 1979,
the desirability of clearly excluding Council members' appointments to governmental,
non-profit or charitable entities' governing bodies from the prescription of the
Ethics Code definition of "substantial interest".
