23. Submitted by Councilmembers Peterson and Posey - Move forward on proposed
Transparency Ordinance with the text that received consensus by City Council on 8/3/2015
Councilmember Peterson explained the process of study sessions, straw votes, talking with and
listening to the citizens and that he believes it is now time to move forward on this issue
Councilmember Posey stated that he feels the most important part of this Transparency Ordinance is
Item 3 Offers and Counteroffers A policy can be subject to interpretation and be very fluid, so this is
why the issue is being addressed as an ordinance
Councilmember O'Connell stated that he, too, believes in transparency for all contracts in the City
exceeding $25,000 or $50,000 If this ordinance was amended to include this, he would also support it
Councilmember Peterson stated that he too supports one hundred percent (100%) transparency and
this ordinance takes care of $0 72 of every $1 00 of the General Fund Budget for contracts He further
stated that for some contracts outside negotiators are not used, but a system of request for three bids is
used, because all contracts do not fit within the parameters of the current ordinance The remaining
$0 28 can be addressed as a separate item at a future Council meeting
Councilmember Posey stated that there is already a Citizen's Finance Review Board, with members
appointed by Councilmembers, that meets in public and reviews the contracts in question It is not
possible to make transparency in contracts a companion of transparency in labor negotiations
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis stated that other places are having ordinances legally challenged and he
thinks that a policy of transparency might be more viable, and therefore made a substitute motion
A substitute motion was made by Katapodis, second O'Connell to Direct the City Attorney to draft a
Transparency policy that incorporates the following six (6) components 1 Independent Negotiator -
The City will hire an independent negotiator (when desired) who is not impacted by any outcome in the
negotiation process 2 Cost of Contracts - The City will cost contracts and/or changes to contracts
This ensures an equal playing ground for both labor organizations and the City, as both will be given
the ability to comment about the analysis 3 Offers and Counteroffers - This ordinance would require
that all offers and counteroffers (after the first submitted offer and counteroffer) be disclosed to the
Council/PFA Regular Minutes

Council will be required to disclose any and all verbal, written, or electronic communications they have
had with an official representative of a recognized employee organization, City staff, or members of the

before the final proposed contract is placed on the City Council Agenda, the Memorandum of
Understanding will be posted to the City's website by Agenda Review Monday Additionally, the
proposed contract will be placed on the City Council Agenda as an administrative item on two (2)
consecutive City Council Meetings to insure the City Council, the bargaining units, and the public have
ample time and ability to supply comment 6 Policy has to be voted on in public to make a change

Councilmember Peterson voiced his opinion that the letter recently sent properly addresses the
concerns and doubts that it is prudent to spend City resources for a report that most likely would be
ignored
Councilmember O'Connell replied that his request would be directed for OCTA to further study the
issue and report back to City Council on options to improve local access
Mayor Pro Tern Katapodis, who is a member of the OCTA District Committee, believes that there will
be a response to the Council's previous letter He believes OCTA is aware of the issues of concern,
and suggests waiting for the reply to the letter before proceeding with any additional action Additional
response may be warranted in the future, but that can't be determined until the OCTA reply is received
Mayor Hardy proposed no action on this item at least until the OCTA response has been received
Councilmember O'Connell agreed
