Hold discussion regarding the Ethics Review Commission Recommendation Resolution 2021-3, related to a Code Amendment that would add a definition for "Fair Market Value" Michael Cosentino, City Attorney stated The San Marcos Code of Ethics requires annual financial disclosures by city officials and council appointees for the prior calendar year. The information to be included on financial disclosure forms includes the fair market value of real property, but the code currently provides no definition of that term. The Ethics Review Commission has recommended a code amendment to define fair market value as the appraised value of the property listed on the most recent appraisal roll of the county in which the property is located. We need to ensure that it states December 31 of the prior calendar year. Mayor Pro Tem Scott inquired why is this coming up now. Jonathan Lollar, Chair for Ethics Review Commission stated we focus every year to have the financial disclosure form user friendly and more clear. There were questions among members on what the fair market value means and the commission decided to give a definition to eliminate further confusion in the future. City of San Marcos Page 14
