CITY CLERK'S OFFICE
STAFF REPORT
City Attorney Department
DATS: July 19; 2010
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Laurence S. Wiener, City Attorney
RF_: Ordinance authorizing Fire Chief to report directly to the City Council
and defining reporting responsibility
Background:
At its meeting of June14, 2010, the City Council requested that the City Attorney
prepare an ordinance to provide that the Fire Chief shall report directly to the City
Council.
Discussion:
Section 6.4 of the Vernon City Charter' provides that "[Tjhe city administrator shall be
responsible to the city council for the proper and efficient management of all the affairs
of the city and those specific duties assigned to the city administrator by the Charter or
by the city council!'
Section 7.6 of the Vernon City Charter provides that "[A]Il city employees shall serve of
the will and pleasure of the city council."
Layered onto these provisions of the City's charter, Section 2.69.1 of the Vernon City
Code lists the departments of the City and provides that certain department heads shall
report directly to the City Council, subject to the provisions of the City's Charter, the City
Code, or as prescribed by the City Council.
The Code currently does not define or otherwise provide guidance as' to the
interpretation of the phrase "report directly to the City Council."
Per the City Council's direction, the attached ordinance adds the Fire Chief to the list of
department heads that report directly to the City Council.
JUL 1 3 2010
Additionally, the ordinance defines the term "report directly to the City Council" to mean
that the relevant department head may directly place any item on a City Council agenda
that impacts his/her respective department for discussion or action at a City Council
meeting. The department head will place such item on the agenda through the office of
the city clerk and will copy the city administrator.
This definition is designed to harmonize the reporting requirement with the City's
Charter and ensure that the reporting requirement is interpreted in a manner that is
consistent with the Ralph M. grown Act, the State's open meeting law.
Finally, the ordinance repeals the City's organizational chart from the City Code. The
organizational chart is currently included as an appendix to Chapter 2, but it is not
required to be in the City Code and appears to be outdated. Among other things, it
includes several positions that are no longer filled within the City's organization. If the
City Council wishes to include the organizational- chart within the City Code, staff can
prepare an updated chart for adoption by the City Council at a future meeting.
Recommendation:
If the City Council wishes to have the Fire Chief report directly to the City Council, then
the City Attorney's Office recommends that the attached ordinance be introduced.
Whether or not the City Council wishes to add the Fire Chief to the list of department
heads that report directly to the City Council, the City Attorney's Office recommends that
the City Council amend the City Code to provide guidance as to the interpretation of the
term "report directly to the City Council."
