RE: Ordinance 1Vo. 2297-2®®~ -Amending KMC 1.85 (Financial Disclosure
and Conflict of Interest) by Removing the Kenai City Clerk and City
Attorney From the List of "Municipal Officers" in KMC 1.85.070(b) Required
to Report Under the city of Kenai Financial Disclosure and Conflict of
Interest Rules.
The City Attorney and I discussed this ordinance this morning and thought a note to
you may be helpful in your consideration of Ordinance No. 2297-2008.
Because City Clerks and City Attorneys are not covered under the APOC rules, the
following applies:
• Kenai Municipal Code does not require our reporting of the amount of
our income(s), only the source(s).
• Kenai Municipal Code states our deadline for submission of our annual
financial reports as April 15.
• Our financial reports are submitted to the City Clerk rather than APOC
and are public information.
