DRAFT WITH PROPOSED AMENDMENTS <br /> 9/1/04 <br /> <br /> EUGENE CITY COUNCIL OPERATING AGREEMENTS <br /> Exhibit to Resolution Number 4777 <br /> Approved on September 22, 2003 <br /> <br />While at a conference, councilors or the Mayor shall be expected to attend conference sessions <br />and, within 30 days, issue a written report to share the information and perspectives with the <br />entire Council. If more than one councilor attends, a consolidated report may be written. <br /> <br />As a general guideline, each councilor is allowed two out-of-state conference trips per fiscal year. <br />If a councilor wishes to make additional trips, the request should be brought to attention of the <br />full Council and should be endorsed by a majority of the Council. This guideline is intended to <br />cover trips made at the discretion of the individual councilor; it is not intended to be applied to <br />trips related to service on national or regional committee, such as a committee of the National <br />League of Cities. <br /> <br />10.07 Overseas Travel <br />If the Mayor or members of the Council wish to attend a conference or make a council business- <br />related trip to a destination overseas, this request shall be made in writing well in advance and <br />shall be placed on the consent calendar for approval by the Council. <br /> <br />11. ETHICS <br />11.01 Reporting Requirements in ORS <br />In accordance with ORS 244.050, the Mayor and all councilors holding office on April 15 shall <br />be required to file an Annual Verified Statement of Economic Interest with the Oregon <br />Government Standards and Practices Commission on or before that date. The report must be filed <br />on the form prescribed by ORS 244.060. Each year the form shall be mailed directly to the <br />elected official by the Commission and should be returned directly to the Commission in Salem. <br />Failure to submit the form by the April 15 deadline may result in the imposition of a civil penalty <br />and/or removal from office. <br /> <br />11.02 LocalCode of Ethics <br />The Charter requires that a code of ethics be enacted. This local code, found in the Eugene Code, <br />places additional conflicts of interest requirements upon elected officials and creates a local <br />process for filing complaints. <br /> <br />Eugene City Council Operating Agreements - September 22, 2003 Exhibit to Resolution Number 4777 <br />Page 13 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
