Appointment Process for Board of Ethics
FROM:
RE:
As you are aware, Chapter 2.28 of the Municipal Code provides that the City Council refer for
recommendations the list and qualifications of applicants for the Board of Ethics to the presiding
judge of the South Bay court. The judge is then supposed to review the list of applicants and
their qualifications, select not less than five to interview, and then conduct in-person interviews.
For the past several years, sitting judges have been unwilling to provide this service due to
potential conflict of interest concerns. The fallback position, by code, has been for the Council
to conduct the interviews and then make a selection. Councilmembers, as well as members of
the Board of Ethics, have expressed concerns about the Council conducting the interviews, due
again to potential conflict of interest concerns.
In May 2007, the Mayor brought forth several recommendations from the Legislative
Subcommittee with regard to Boards and Commissions. One of the approved recommendations
was to seek a retired judge who would assume the duties previously undertaken by a sitting
judge. Retired judges were contacted; however, none were willing or able to assume the duties.
Most have continued employment in their judicial field during their retirements.
The Legislative Subcommittee recommends at this time that the Council adopt a policy to allow
potential Board of Ethics members to be interviewed by a panel of at least two City Managers
from cities in San Diego County other than Chula Vista. The panel would then make its
recommendations to the Council. If approved, this provision would be incorporated into the
proposed general rules for Boards and Commissions, which will address the appointment process
for each Board and Commission.
