EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance adds a Division to Chapter 2 of the City Code which requires Councilmembers to
report the receipt of any gifts,h o r i n on with the Councilmember's
public service. This reportin s al re d S ti 6-203 of the Colorado Revised
10 Statutes. A copy of Section -6-203, R. at ed.
BACKGROUND:
Title 24,Article 6,of the Colorado Revised Statutes,commonly referred to as the Colorado Sunshine
Act of 1972, contains a provision in Section 24-6-203 which requires incumbents in or candidates
elected to public office to report any gifts, honoraria or other benefits received in connection with
their public services. In addition,Section 1-45-109(3)of the Fair Campaign Practices Act(FCPA)
contains a reference to Section 24-6-203, C.R.S.
On November 7, 2000, Cou it ad on iPR i O finance No. 162, 2000, which
establishes local election cam 'gn pro ions i F In drafting Ordinance No. 162.
2000,staff determined that,alt h ' is o ref ence to Section 24-6-203,election
campaign provisions were not the appropriate place to do so, since the requirement to report gifts,
honoraria and other benefits applies to elected officials, rather than to candidates for public office.
Therefore,staff is recommending that the reference to Section 24-6-203 be included in the City Code
under the financial disclosure provisions contained in Chapter 2.
