Review Council Code of Conduct and Brea Municipal Code Regarding Removal of Commissioner
City Manager Gallardo discussed the Code of Conduct and Brea Municipal Code regarding the removal of a commissioner. He provided three (3) options for Council: no changes to either the Code of Conduct or the Municipal Code, amend the Code of Conduct to reflect the process in the Municipal Code, or amend both the Code of Conduct and the Brea Municipal Code to reflect a new process. He also stated that Council may recommend other options they deem desirable.
City Attorney Markman believed that there are no conflicts between the Code of Conduct and the Brea Municipal Code; noted that the Code of Conduct is superseded by the Brea Municipal Code; and indicated that Council can make a policy decision to amend either the Code of Conduct or the Municipal Code.
After discussing, Council directed staff to conduct additional research and collect information from other cities' processes before making a decision on how to proceed.
