OFF-AGENDA
ITEM Mayor pro tem Slater made the following statement for the record: "This statement may
be considered politically dangerous, but I'm not here to play politics. I haven't shared this with
the City Councilor the City Manager. The L. A. Times and the Oran~e County Rel:ister last
week published articles on City Manager Dave Rudat's possible conflict of interest with regard
to Orange Disposal and his wife Carol's real estate transactions. The articles were factual and
well written, however, two important points need to be made. The first one is this: Conflict
of Interest laws are very complex and easy to trip up on. I believe Dave Rudat did nothing
wrong intentionally. The second point is this: There may have been mistakes made along the way
with regard to how staff handled this problem. That will be clarified in the management audit we
are pursuing. Obviously, hind site is 20/20 and everyone including us on the Council can
always learn from our mistakes. But this City Manager has conducted himself in a thorough
and professional manner of the utmost integrity since this problem came to light. This City
Council is standing behind him 100
percent."City Manager Rudat commented: "Firstly, the source of the information reported on by
the press was visibly inscribed as "Privileged and Confidential" and addressed to me, the
City Council, and a Deputy District Attorney. Second, the investigation and report was requested
by me and sent to the District Attorney's office. I believe in full disclosure and want a
thorough review for the benefit ofthis City. Third, no one had the right to reveal the content of
this confidential and privileged document, nor any other such document, or confidential
discussions that occur with the City Attorney. The release of such documents, if not illegal because we
have no particular ordinance in that regard, is certainly a violation of every ethical standard that
exists.I am extremely disheartened by that fact, but am appreciative of the support that the Council
has offered to me verbally and shown. The article, although factual, I think was written
to sensationalize the issue, certainly with the title and position it was given. If the reporter/editor
is going to try to cast a particular slant on any issue, I think it should be well balanced. In the
same report, there were particular quotes by the City Attorney that I think would give some balance,
in that, for example, "It does not appear that Mr. Rudat knowingly violated State Conflict
of Interests laws and that he performed his duty in an impartial manner." Another statement
was that: "None of the decisions made by Mr. Rudat would have affected his community
property interest, because it was after the fact" and "It does not appear that at any time during the
relevant twelve month period that Mr. Rudat made any decisions contrary to those recommended
by staff," so on and so
forth.The release of the information, I think, did not serve any public purpose at this time, because
in fact, it had been sent to the District Attorney's office and the public's interest will be well
served by their review. It was also, I felt, meant to hurt, not only myself, but my wife Carol
who conducts herself and her business with integrity and with the highest ethical standards. But
in PAGE

OFF-AGENDA ITEM (
Continued)spite of all these detractors, I will continue to make every effort to see that the best interest of
this City is always addressed and I will do it without prejudice or bias and with the integrity
and sound ethical practice as I have always tried to
do."6.REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER Tape
1282 6.1 Update on Orange Disposal Service/Orange Resource Recovery
Systems.The City Manager reported the comprehensive solid waste management and
change recommendation development project is moving forward and will continue for a number
of months. Representatives from Hilton Farnkopf & Hobson continue to meet with ODS
and ORRS and the project is underway. Last week the City Attorney met with ODS and ORRS'
s attorney to discuss the company's response to the City's Notice of Default and other
contract issues that are outstanding. Management staff continues to meet weekly on civil contract
issues and will report to the Council if any issues require action. Recruitment of members for the
Audit Committee has been completed and Council action on the selection of the Committee
is anticipated on September 23rd or October
14th.Z. Harry Astor, 333 City Blvd. West, Orange, counsel for ODS/ORRS, commented
that ODS/ORRS continues to work with members of the City staff to resolve any pending items
in the
investigation.Carole Walters, 534 N. Shaffer, expressed her support for the City Manager. Ms.
Walters commented she does not want more money going to ODS or ORRS or fees raised for
Orange
residents.Barbara DeNiro, (address on file), asked if alleged violation of standards is what the ODS/
ORRS investigation is
about?Bob Bennyhoff, 10642 Morada Drive, Orange Park Acres, read from this weeks column of
rill;Sentry in support of City Manager Dave Rudat and expressed his disappointment with the
recent articles by the L. A. Times and Oran~e County Re~ister regarding conflict of interest

numerous complaints since the bus stops on Canal Street were removed. Requests have been received
to re-establish the bus stop at Heim Avenue and Canal Street due to the difficulty
bus patrons experience walking to the bus stop on Tustin. Some patrons are handicapped or

bus stops serving disabled individuals, which is more than sufficient for safety improvements
