VIOLATION OF MURRIETA CODE OF ETHICS - ENOCHS Mayor Seyarto requested Mayor Pro Tem McAllister take the Chair as he was not feeling well and Mayor Pro Tem McAllister had previous experience chairing this type of item. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister took the Chair. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister advised the audience of Council's practice of raising your hand if you agree with a speaker and requested there be no outbursts or disturbances while people were speaking. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister opened the public hearing. Council member Enochs left the dais and took a seat in the audience. City Manager Lori Moss provided the staff report. She said that on July 12, 2006 she received a complaint, in writing, from Mayor Pro Tem McAllister and Council member Gibbs; on May 22, 2006 she initially learned of a potential violation at the International Council of Shopping Centers and not from Commissioner Thomasian; and on August 2, 2006 she, Deputy City Manager Chris Paxton, Council members Gibbs and Enochs held a meeting. She said that they began their investigation by speaking to individuals that saw Council member Enochs at the site and that the investigation confirmed that Council member Enochs was at the site on April 21, 2006 from 7:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (leaving for lunch). She said she did not release information concerning this matter until August 10, 2006 as part of the staff report. Council member Ostling asked if as of August 2, 2006 only the four people present at the meeting knew of this matter. Ms. Moss advised that as of that date, the four people at the meeting and Mayor Pro Tem McAllister knew of the matter. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister asked if Ms. Moss determined there was merit to the complaint to which she responded yes. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister asked if any other information had come to her attention that was not contained in the staff report that would be germane to this discussion. Ms. Moss responded no and advised a letter from City Attorney John Harper dated August 8, 2006 to the FPPC had been provided to each Council member at the dais. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister discussed the number of people who were aware of the matter, including people who had been at the job site and seen Council member Enochs, so the discussion of a leak to the press did not necessarily come from the five people initially involved. He asked Ms. Moss to characterize Council member Enochs' demeanor. Mayor Seyarto requested Council member Enochs' statement be read before any more discussion. Council member Enochs said he was irritated that the newspapers knew about the potential Code of Ethics violation prior to the meeting of August 2, 2006. He said that he was not guilty of a violation of the Code of Ethics because he did use his office or the resources of the City for personal or political gain, he did not receive payment for his services, and there was no political gain by helping his son. He wished Council members had investigated the allegations prior to taking them to staff. He explained that he voted no on the Orchards project on September 21, 2004 because of overpass and traffic congestion issues, then voted yes on May 2, 2006, after his work had been performed, because it was an extension of what was previously approved. Council member Enochs discussed his unpopularity in the development community due to the fact that he held developers “to the thumb.” He said he has no vested interest in his son's company and was just helping his son, as his father had helped him. He stated that he does not take work in the City of Murrieta due to potential conflict and that he had called the FPPC to ask if his working for his son on the job site would present any conflict, to which the FPPC said it would not. Council member Enochs talked about doing volunteer work in the community and volunteering his services at Council member Gibbs home, along with his job foreman. He said that while he and his foreman were working at Council member Gibbs home, his foreman was approached to do additional work for cash. His foreman declined the offer due to the fact that he did not want to cut Council member Enochs out of the work and Mr. Enochs has a policy that he will not work for cash because he does not want to cut the government out. Council member Enochs expressed a desire for Council to work as a team and commended Council member Gibbs for wanting to bring teamwork to the Council. He said that working as a team is the only way Council can work for the betterment of the community. He talked about being attacked by the press and how that was part of the job, but was displeased with Council members being against each other. Council member Enochs read a letter from his son confirming he was never paid for work at the job, and that his son had no desire to be involved in his father's political affairs. Council member Enochs again discussed his displeasure that someone had leaked the allegations to the Press Enterprise prior to the formal discussion on August 2, 2006. He requested an apology be made to him and his son. He said he was offended by the comparison of his situation to Mr. Van Haaster's. Council member Enochs brought up the fact that during the recall that helped Mayor Pro Tem McAllister get re-elected, Alexander Communities made a donation to the recall. He said that after Mayor Pro Tem McAllister was elected, he had approved an Alexander Communities project which Council member Enochs believed could be a Code of Ethics violation. Additionally, he had been advised by staff that a trophy company owned by Mayor Pro Tem McAllister profited from trophy sales to the city. Council member Enochs said he was innocent of the charges brought against him and would continue doing volunteer work in the community. City Manager Lori Moss advised that Retail Advisors pulled the electrical permit and paid the fees. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister opened the public comments. Kassen Klein, Murrieta, expressed his appreciation to Mayor Seyarto for the work he had done for the community. He pointed out that the issue at hand was a violation of the Code of Ethics not whether or not the story was leaked to the press. He discussed the value of the Code of Ethics and the allegations against Council member Enochs. He said Council member Enochs has a history of speaking his mind and following his own rules. Joan Padberg, Murrieta, reiterated Mr. Klein's comments about Mayor Seyarto. She discussed accusations of a legal nature against Council member Enochs which should prompt him to step down from the dais until the issues are resolved. She said it was a travesty to have a council member sit on the dais whose reputation and ethics were in question. Cathy Bearse, Murrieta, commended Council member Enochs for being a good father and discussed accountability as a parent. She talked about recent City problems and said she did not want to be embarrassed anymore by City politics. She hopes the City will return to its values so she can be proud to be a citizen of Murrieta again. Kelly Bennett, Murrieta, said that a shift in paradigm was needed and that this was an issue of community trust. She is concerned with the totality of the circumstances and said that pending matters did not amount to quality representation. She suggested it was time for real change and proactive leaders. She stated the community did not need leadership that is constantly in the defense mode and the community needed a council that engendered trust, not suspicion. Casey Evans, Murrieta, shared he has lived in Murrieta since 1988 and talked about how much the city has changed. He said it was time to make key decisions and stop the mudslinging and slandering. He suggested term limits for Council. Gary Bryant, Murrieta, said there was no evidence that Council member Enochs received money while working for his son and that this was not a conflict under state law. He asked Council to stay to the law, said there were no facts, and that this was a waste of everyone's time. Barbara Nugent, Murrieta, said that she attended Council meetings when the Code of Ethics was being adopted and had attended the hearing of June 20, 2006. She urged Council to interpret the facts to the best of their ability and remember they have a responsibility to the citizens, the City and each other. Debra Butler, Murrieta, said she is in favor of the Code of Ethics but that it is not strong enough. She disagreed that this was a Code violation and said it was an unjustified smear campaign against Council member Enochs. She is disappointed that this issue has come up again. Brenda Dennstedt, Murrieta, discussed who knew about the allegations prior to August 2, 2006 and said the preponderance of evidence was on Council to prove that Council member Enochs was guilty; which in her opinion he was not. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister closed the public comments. Mayor Seyarto asked City Manager Lori Moss what Council member Enochs' demeanor was at the meeting of August 2, 2006. Ms. Moss responded that his demeanor was surprised and defensive. Mayor Seyarto asked if Council member Enochs made remarks that she would construe as threats. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister asked City Attorney John Harper if it was possible to have an issue that did not violate FPPC regulations, but did violate a Code of Ethics. Mr. Harper responded yes. Council member Ostling asked for the exact violation of the Code of Ethics. Council member Gibbs responded the violation was accountability and responsibility. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister said the issue of personal gain was a definition that deals with family and that was where the violation fell under the Code. Council member Ostling asked if the Code of Ethics specifically stated a family member. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister responded that it was not mentioned specifically, however, the history of the City had spoken loud and clear about this issue. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister asked City Attorney John Harper if Council member Enochs should recuse himself from the meeting during Council discussion. It was determined Council member Enochs would remain in the audience. Council member Gibbs said that the charges were straightforward. Council member Enochs had voted on the Orchards even though a family member was engaged in work at the job site. He discussed taking Council member Enochs aside on August 1, 2006 to make him aware of what the meeting of August 2, 2006 would entail. He said that the appropriate course of action for Council member Enochs would have been to say he had a conflict of interest and abstain from the vote on May 2, 2006. Mayor Seyarto said that the issue was simple. Council member Enochs should have abstained from the vote. He said he realized that the regulations are hard to interpret but when you make an error that's pointed out, the appropriate course of action is to accept responsibility. He said that this type of issue erodes public trust and that he was not pleased with Council member Enochs' reaction to the accusations and the fact that he would not accept responsibility for his actions. He expressed concern over an article he read in the newspaper where Council member Enochs denied working at the job site until a witness came forward, creating an element of dishonesty. He discussed a letter dated May 19, 2006 from City Attorney John Harper reminding Council members that solicitation of contracts was in violation of the City's Code of Ethics and potentially the FPPC. He was displeased with Council member Enochs' disrespectful treatment of staff at the meeting of August 2, 2006. He stated that Council member Enochs wants to hold everyone accountable to Code standards yet is the first to accuse other Council members of a violation. He was disconcerted by Council member Enochs' reaction after the fact and is concerned about retaliation by him. He was annoyed that while Council member Enochs was sitting in the audience, he did not show respect for the proceedings and is irritated that Council has had to spend so much time on this issue. Council member Ostling said that he had spent half his life working as a civil servant and had worked under a strict code of ethics. After listening to everyone, it was his opinion that Council member Enochs had not gained financially or politically. He said that this was an attempt to demean Council member Enochs and he hoped politics had not entered into this decision. He pointed out that it was not a general contractor who gave the bid, but a subcontractor. He said Council was here only for the purpose of determining if Council member Enochs had violated the Code, and his opinion was that he had not. He stated he was a firm believer in enforcement of violations but in this case he could see no violation. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister said that he and Council member Gibbs took no pleasure in having to bring a Code violation against Council member Enochs. He said he believed this to be a very serious issue dealing with public trust and that voters had made it clear how they define public trust with the recall of Mr. Van Haaster. He commended Council member Gibbs for his documentation of the facts. He said that Council member Enochs should have abstained from the vote at the May 2, 2006 meeting and that the voters had made it clear that this Council is not to vote on projects involving family. He said that this was a serious issue and that Council member Enochs, as a senior member of the Council, should have known that it would be inappropriate to vote on this item. He was displeased by the fact that Council member Enochs would not accept responsibility for his actions, preferring to blame others and maintain an attitude that everyone was out to get him. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister asked Council member Enochs to return to the podium and requested the audience afford him courtesy and respect. Council member Enochs reiterated the fact that he was not paid. He said that a long period of time had gone by before the project came back to Council on May 2, 2006. He said that his company résuméd 200 companies per month and it was difficult to keep track of who sent him requests. He talked about how Council member Gibbs advised him on August 1, 2006 what the meeting of August 2, 2006 would be about, the fact that he didn't take him seriously, and that Council member Gibbs may have been concerned that he would be upset. He was displeased that the press was aware of the potential violation before he was. He restated that he had not gained financially or politically and was guilty only of helping his son. Mayor Seyarto asked Council member Enochs if he had actively bid contracts for Jaynes Company. Council member Enochs said he had not bid anything for Jaynes Company, but they had asked him to bid. Council member Gibbs said that the only issue was whether or not Council member Enochs voted on May 2, 2006 on a project that he should not have voted on because he had some interest in it through his son. Council member Ostling said that he too had voted no on the project originally and whether or not Council member Enochs should have abstained is a question in itself. He questioned whether Council member Enochs' intent when he voted was for political or personal gain and said that although he could have used better judgment, it had not been proven that the Code had been violated. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister said a standard had been established by the voters and that the City had made it clear -- it does not want Council voting on projects that benefit family. He believes Council member Enochs violated the Code. Council member Gibbs discussed the single issue of the violation of the Code of Ethics. It was his opinion Council member Enochs violated the Code and Council needed to decide the level of reprimand. He said that since Council member Enochs' actions were not criminal, the two choices were admonishment or sanction. Since this was a first charge, he recommended admonishment. Mayor Seyarto disagreed that admonishment was the appropriate level of punishment because this was not a single incident. He is concerned with Council member Enochs' reaction to the charges through his demeanor and lack of accepting responsibility for his actions. He recommended sanction. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister recommended sanction. Council member Ostling asked for clarification of the timeline of events since Council member Enochs had voted after the job was done. Mayor Pro Tem McAllister said that in a 12-month period Council member Enochs would have been ineligible to vote on this item. City Attorney John Harper said that the vote on the first project took place, in the interim work took place by Council member Enochs' son, the project came back subsequent to the work having been performed, but the project wasn't completed. Council member Ostling asked if any other work was promised to Council member Enochs' son. City Manager Lori Moss responded, not to staff's knowledge. Action: A motion was made by Gibbs to issue an admonishment to Council member Enochs for voting on a project because of his son's interest in it. Motion died due to lack of a second. Action: A motion was made by Seyarto and seconded by McAllister to issue a sanction to Council member Enochs for voting on a project because of his son's interest in it.
