ITEM TITLE:
Discussion of Draft Ordinance Regarding Implementation of Proposition
Q
MayO~
SUBMITTED BY:
BACKGROUND:
In Novcmber 01'2008, the residents of the City of Chula Vista voted to amend the City Charter to
make the Chula Vista City Attorney an elected officer of the City. In general, the Charter
Amendment makes the following two major changes to the City Charter as it relates to the City
Attorney: (1) it makes the City Attorney an elected officer of the City; and (2) it rccasts and
expands the. City Attorney's role, powers and relationship with the City Council.
Much of the Charter Amendment is self-executing. However, portions of the measure either
authorize or require further implementation by the City Council. This draft Ordinance was
prepared for the City Council's consideration, to address thc provisions of the measure that
necessitate City Council action. . The intent of the draft Ordinance is to implement the measure
and ensure a seamless transition to an elected City Attorney.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council discuss and provide direction on the draft Ordinance.
DISCUSSION:
The Elected City Attorney Charter Amendment specifically provides that it "may be amcnded or
repealed only by the voters at a City election." (Charter Amendment, Section 5.) Although the
City cannot, without a vote of the people, seek to expand or restrict the measure's scope or seek
to address issues already specifically addressed in the measure, the City may create a framework
to implcment the purposes of the measure or adopt laws or rules that work in tandem with the
measure. As discussed more fully below, seven (7) provisions in the measure require City
Council action. Each of these provisions is discussed below.
Fixing Compensation
The measure provides that the "compensation of the elected City Attorney shall be set by the
Council. . . ." The measure also establishes a floor for this compensation that is fixed by "the
median compensation paid to the City Attorneys of the six California cities whose populations
are closest to that of the City of Chula Vista, provided that three are higher and three are lower in
population. . .." This provision requires implementation by the City Council to establish the
minimum compensation based upon the formula in the measure. The measure does not specify
what population data should be used by the City Council to dctermine the six cities to be used,
how the compensation of the six city attorneys should be measured or what data should bc used,
/74-/
[Ordinance No.
Page No.2
how the compensation of the six city attorneys should be measured or what data should be used,
or how to handle the potential that one or more of the six cities may use a contract city attorney.
It is recommended that the Council adopt rules or policies to implement these provisions. The
draft Ordinance seeks to address these issues.
Dcclaration of Vacancy or Findin!! of Disabilitv
The measure provides that the City Council shall declare the office of City Attorney vacant
under certain conditions, including unexcused absences, or when a finding of disability is made
by at least a two-thirds vote of the members of the Council after considering competent medical
evidence. However, the measure does not specify the procedures for making those
determinations. It is recommended that the City Council establish such procedures and the draft
Ordinance seeks to do so.
FilIin!! Vacancies
The measure authorizes the City Council to fill City Attorney vacancies by appointment by
majority vote of the members of the Council, as long as less than 24 months remains in the
unexpired term. Any such appointee must meet the qualifications of the measure and the
appointment must occur within 60 days of the vacancy. However, the measure does not specify
the manner in which the Council must nominate and appoint such a replacement (i.e., by an open
application, public process or solely by Council nomination and approval). It is recommended
that the Council establish a process for such appointments. The draft Ordinance seeks to
establish such a process.
Boards, Commissions and A!!encies of the City
The measure provides that the City Attorney shall advise all boards, commiSSIons and other
agencies of the City on legal matters referred to him or her, and render written legal opinions
when the same are rcquested in writing by the Mayor or a member of the Councilor the City
Manager or any other officer, board or commission of the City. However, the measure does not
address how and when the City's various boards, commissions or agencies may request a written
legal opinion from the City Attorney. It is recommended that the City Council establish a
procedure for such requests for a written legal opinions and the draft Ordinance seeks to do so.
Approval or Ratification of Le!!al Proceedin!!s
The measure provides that the City Attorney may commence legal proceedings subject to
approval or ratification by the City Council. The measure does not specify how or when
ratification must be obtained. It is recommended that the City Council establish a procedure for
approving or ratifying legal proceedings and the draft Ordinance seeks to do so.
Appointment of Special Counsel
The measure provides that the Council "may" empower the City Attorney, at his or her request,
to employ special legal counsel. It is recommended that the City Council establish a procedures
making and approving such requests. The draft Ordinance seeks to establish these procedures.

Page No.3
Conflicts of Interest
The measure provides that City officers may retain special legal counsel at City expense when
the elected City Attorney has a conflict of interest, subject to the recommendation of the City
Attorney and the approval of the City Council. It is recommended that the City Council consider
establishing a process for approval of such recommendations. The draft Ordinance seeks to do
so.
CONCLUSION:
The Elected City Attorney Charter Amendment establishes new roles and procedures for the
Chula Vista City Attorney. Most of the Charter Amendment is self-executing. However,
portions of the measure require implementation by the City Council. This draft Ordinance is
intended to foster discussion regarding these matters.
