Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The purpose of the Sacramento Ethics Commission is to review and consider complaints against elected and appointed city officials, as further described in section 2.112.030, to ensure those city officials are conforming their conduct to the city’s laws and policies.
The commission has the power and duty to review, investigate, and consider complaints alleging violations of:
• Section 35 of the Sacramento City Charter (“Limitation on future employment”);
• Chapter 1.20 (“Fair Campaign Practices”);
• Chapter 2.13 (“Campaign Contribution Limitations”) and chapter 2.14 (“Campaign Spending Limits and Public Campaign Financing”), if the city has not contracted with the Fair Political Practices Commission for enforcement of those chapters;
• Chapter 2.15 (“Lobbyist Registration and Reporting Code”);
• Chapter 2.16 (“Conflict of Interest”);
• Chapter 4.02 (“Code of Ethics”)
• Chapter 4.04 (“Transparent Government and Public Engagement”); and
• Chapter 3 (“Conduct of Members”) and Rule 6.E (“Closed Sessions”) of the Council Rules of Procedure.
Commissioners have expressed an interest in engaging with the community to share the purview of the commission and how to ask questions or file a complaint with the Commission. The attached materials were drafted such that commissioners can attend community meetings and share the work of the Commission.
