lla. Adoption of Resolution Updatinq the City of Ukiah's
Conflict of Interest Code for Desiqnated Employees
The City Attorney reported the City of Ukiah Conflict of
Interest Code for Designated Employees has not been updated
since its inception in 1980. He noted the Fair Political
Practices has a model code that a City can adopt by Resolution
and thereafter the code is updated automatically when changes
occur in the State code. He explained that this allows the City
to only amend the appendix, which contains the list of
designated positions within the City, when title changes occur.
He reported that he has also listed positions that are regulated
by Code Section 87200 for conflict disclosure purposes only. He
distributed a corrected copy of the proposed Resolution to
Council and outlined the categories of disclosures.
Councilmember Schneiter questioned new positions filing
deadlines.
The City Clerk answered that the Legal Technical Analysis
Division of the Fair Political Practices Commission informed her
that initial statements will be due 30 days from the effective
date of the Resolution, which will occur 30 days from adoption.
She noted this would be May 4, 1991, if adopted tonight.
The City Attorney stated that if this Resolution is adopted
tonight, it becomes effective immediately. He noted he will
research this matter.
M/S Schneiter/McMichael adopted Resolution No. 91-46, which
adopts the local conflict of interest code for the City and

llb. Water Status Report
The Public Works Director reported on the past and current water
records pertaining to low rainfall years. He stated that
currently there exists a more favorable water outlook for the
City than in the drought year of 1977 but recommended promotion
of a voluntary water awareness/conservation plan for City
residents, sale of water on a temporary basis to residents in
the outlying areas who are in need of emergency water supplies,
and for staff to closely monitor the water supply situation in
the area and advise them, if necessary.
Discussion ensued regarding types of public education and
individual service monitoring technology.
Councilmember McMichael indicated he would like to see this
monitoring service offered to resident's waterlines extending to
their foundations.
Discussion ensued regarding the" overall water situation in
California and local water storage capacities.
Gary Akerstrom, Distribution Engineer for the Russian River
Flood Control District reported on the current levels of storage
and capacities in Lake Pillsbury, Lake Mendocino and Lake
Sonoma. He noted that a 24 inch pipeline would only provide
2,000 acre feet of water per month, and noted only large canals
could deliver enough water to satisfy any needy agencies.
It was the general consensus of Council to receive and file this
report.
