Shall the City Charter be amended to enable the Ethics Commission to retain its own legal counsel, rather than be represented by the City Attorney whose clients include City Officials who may be investigated by the Ethics Commission?

Fiscal Impact from City Manager:
This ballot measure would affect a transfer of appropriations from the City Attorney Office's budget to the Ethics Commission's budget. The Ethics Commission is currently reliant upon the City Attorney's Office for legal counsel; this funding would enable the Commission to retain independent counsel. It is anticipated that the passage of this measure would not result in any additional expense to the City of San Diego.
