CityAttorney Martinez announced that with regard to the following item, issues concerning the
proximity of the project and how it affects two of the Councilmembers, and any potential
conflict of interest. He stated that the Political Reform rules dictate that when a member of
the City Council lives within 500 feet of the property that is the subject of the application it's
deemed to be a material effect, however, it's a presumption that can be rebutted. He stated
that City Attorney's office had some appraisals prepared on behalf of both Mayor Madrid and
Councilmember Stanford and they also requested an opinion from the Fair Political Practices
Commission with respect to the impacts of this decision on their financial interest to see if it's
possible to rebut that presumption. The appraisals were sent to the FPPC and their opinion
' dated December 20, 2002, which said they found that "if the officials find that the appraisals of
their properties omit no pertinent facts and that the involved appraiser is duly qualified, the
appraisal could be deemed appropriate evidence upon which to rely when rebutting the
presumption of material financial affect as found in the FPPC regulations". He stated that both
Mayor Madrid and Councilman Stanford have had an opportunity to rebut the decision and the
appraisal and he advised that at this time they could announce regarding whether or not they
believe they have a conflict of interest with regard to the Monrovia Nursery Project.
Councilmember Stanford and Mayor Madrid both advised that after careful consideration, and
research, they do not have a conflict of interest with the project and that they would both be
participating in the proceedings.
