REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 5, 2003 2
MAYOR'S VETO MESSAGE
2002 - 144 — Amending Code Pertaining to Personal Financial Disclosure, Passed as Ord.
No. 13530 on April 21, 2003. Mayor John Landwehr stated that the veto was signed by
Mayor Tom Rackers who was Mayor at the time the bill passed, and also signed by himself
in concurrence. Mayor Landwehr requested that the Clerk enter the veto message
distributed in the Council packets into the record, which reads as follows:
Under the authority vested in this office as Mayor and under the
Charter of the City of Jefferson, Missouri, 1 hereby exercise my veto power
under Article 3, Section 3.11(g) and veto Bill 2002 -144 - Pertaining to
Personal Financial Disclosure. As required by Charter, this message is being
delivered to the Council prior to the commencement of the meeting on May
5, 2003.
1 hereby veto Bill 2002 -144 pertaining to Personal Financial Disclosure.
At the time Bill 2002 -144 was passed, 1 was presiding officer and Mayor.
Pursuant to the powers vested in me and my office, 1 hereby veto Bill 2002-
144 for the following reasons.
The last amendment to the bill contains vague and undefined terms
and prohibitions that prevent a reasonable person from determining the
meaning and scope of this very critical legislation. Specifically, the term
"money relationship" is not clear, and the scope of this undefined term
extends not only to present relationships but also relationships far into the
past, and to relationships that are not even personal to the office holder.
For example, if an accountant's partner prepared a tax return ten years
ago, the accountant may be disqualified. If Councilman Smith laid a brick on
a construction project 15 years ago, he may be disqualified. If Councilman
Groner's company leases property to the State of Missouri, he may not be
able to vote on any matter involving the State of Missouri. None of these
results is appropriate.
The City Council has at various times during my administration
experienced internal conflicts and disruption. This demeans our system of
government and takes energy away from important matters. Bill 2002 -144 will
be a continuing source of antagonism and disruption as Council members
challenge each other with alleged conflicts, arguing again and again over how
the language should be interpreted. Individuals might be tempted to file
complaints at the State Ethics Commission, generating still more personal
defenses and attacks.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MAY 5, 2003 3
1 also note that after months of discussion and debate, and extensive
discussions within a committee formed for the task, the amendment was
produced by way of a handwritten memo circulated literally minutes before the
vote, thereby depriving the public, staff and other Council members of an
opportunity to evaluate the proposal.
1 have asked Mayor Landwehr if he would be willing to sit down with
members of the Council and craft clear language to accomplish the goal of
the amendment, and the bill as a whole. He has indicated he would do so
immediately if asked.
In conclusion, neither the process by which the bill was passed, nor the
final result is a benefit to the Council or the City as a whole.
/ss/
Thomas P. Rackers
Mayor
1, John Landwehr, newly elected Mayor of the City of Jefferson, do
hereby concur with the above veto message.

John Landwehr
Mayor
Mayor John Landwehr then put the following question to the Council: "Shall the ordinance
(or resolution, as the case may be) take effect despite the disapproval of the mayor ?" There
were no motions made to override the veto.

for the city, and his estimate of business peryearwas $300,000. Councilman Weber asked
if Mr. Leonardo would collect sales tax on that revenue, to which Mr. Leonardo stated that

taxes on the revenue. Several other Council Members asked questions of Mr. Leonardo
following his presentation.
