Naming New Member, City Manager On Tonight's Agenda In Lafayette

LAFAYETTE, CA – The Lafayette City Council will consider approving a Code of Conduct/Ethics for its members at its regular meeting Monday.

The 2-page document includes sections on fairness, honesty and integrity, responsibility, fairness and respect. City Council members and candidates would be required to sign it.

The City Council is also set to decide on a timetable for replacing Councilman Mark Mitchell, who died Nov. 5 at the age of 61.

With no special election possible before Mitchell's term ends in November 2020, the council must appoint a new council member with 60 days of Mitchell's death.

In closed session, the council is also scheduled to select an interim city manager to succeed longtime top administrator Steven Falk, who said in September he was leaving after almost 23 years.

Monday night's meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the community room of the Lafayette Library and Learning Center, 3491 Mt. Diablo Blvd.
