Mayor and City Council April 1, 2004 Page 3 <br /> <br />or national entity (for example, Councilor Taylor's and Councilor Nathanson's service on NLC <br />committees, or Councilor Pape's and Councilor Kelly's service on LOC Board and committee), in <br />those situations, the elected official cannot be removed by the Council, but instead, could only be <br />removed, if at all, by the appointing entity. Although the Council's powers are more limited in this <br />situation, the Council could choose to deny City reimbursement of expenses for attendance at <br />meetings (assuming that it is the City, and not LOC or NLC, that is reimbursing the elected official <br />for the expenses). Thus, should the Council want the ability to "instruct" elected officials in these <br />circumstances, the Council could change its reirnbursement resolution to prohibit reimbursement by <br />the City in the event that the elected official states a position that is inconsistent with officially <br />adopted policy. <br /> <br /> In summary, the Council does have some authority to require elected officials to take <br />positions at meetings of intergovernmental committees that are consistent with "officially adopted <br />policies" of the City. Depending on how the Council would wm~t to enforce such a requirement, <br />changes may be necessary to the City code and the reimbursement resolution, in addition to the <br />Operating Agreements. Should the Council decide that it wants to impose such a requirement, the <br />Council will need to define the circumstances under which the requirement would apply, including <br />what is meant by "officially adopted policy" and how to deal with situations where there are <br />conflicting policies. Once the Council decides how to deal with these questions, we can then <br />determine what documents (Operating Agreements, City code, other resolutions) need to be <br />amended. <br /> <br /> HARRANG LONG GARY RIJDNICK P.C. - <br /> CITY ATTORNEYS <br /> <br />GK: abm <br /> <br /> <br />
