Ordinance No. 06-01 which was codified as Municipal Code Section 1-6-101 et seq., can be found in Appendix G. 4.3.1 Ethical Public Service Ordinance - Measure H On June 3, 2008, the City conducted a Special Election and as a result, the Irvine City Council Ethical Public Service Ordinance (Initiative Ordinance 08-03), or Measure H, was passed by Irvine voters. Measure H, codified as Irvine Municipal Code Sections 1-9-101 through 1-9-104, is an extension of the City’s Code of Ethics. A copy of the Ordinance is also included in Appendix H. Measure H prohibits elected officials, Chiefs of Staff, and Council Executive Assistants, and appointed Commissioners from engaging in compensated employment or service for the purpose of lobbying for any private individual or organization before any local public agency in Orange County. In addition, Measure H prevents the same individuals from having a personal investment or monetary interest in City contracts. Measure H also requires the Mayor and City Councilmembers, Chiefs of Staff and Council Executive Assistants, and appointed Commissioners to execute a form acknowledging they have received a copy of the measure and agree to abide by its provisions. The forms are then filed with the City Clerk.
