RECOMMENDATION

Adopt a Policy Resolution which amends Administrative Policy 2-401, Acceptance of Donations.

DISCUSSION

Periodically, County staff review various provisions of County Administrative Policies to update policies, bring policies into compliance with any changes in state and federal laws, and to conform the policies to actual County practices. The recommended changes will update the policies regarding procedures for departments. Department Heads are responsible for implementing and enforcing administrative policies, as applicable, in their department/agency.

Here is a summary list of the significant changes to Administrative Policy 2-401:
1. Clarifies the definition of ‘donation’.
2. Clarifies employees are prohibited from accepting personal donations for the performance of their job duties except as may be authorized by law..

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may choose not to amend the administrative policies at this time, or may adopt some, but not all of the recommended administrative policy amendments. The Board could also direct staff to make other changes.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

The Auditor-Controller, Support Services-Personnel and Risk Management Units, Information Technology, and the County Administrative Office have reviewed the proposed changes for compliance with state and federal laws and for County best practices.  County Counsel has approved the policy resolutions as to form.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no additional General Fund impact associated with approval of the recommendations. Rather, the proposed changes may streamline processes resulting in operational savings.
