City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 18 of 21 December 16, 2025City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final 16.5 REPORT - RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA CENSURING COUNCIL MEMBER DIANNA MACDONALD BACKGROUND: The Code of Conduct for Council Members and Board and Commission Members (“Code of Conduct”) requires that City Council Members adhere to the highest standards of respect, Council Policies, civility, and honesty in ensuring the effective maintenance of intergovernmental relationships and treat others with respect to maintain public confidence in City government. The City’s Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation Prevention Policy (“Anti-Harassment Policy”) is intended to prohibit and prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the City’s workplace. The Anti-Harassment Policy sets forth procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving complaints of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in the workplace, and for protecting City employees who make such complaints or participate in workplace investigations. Among other things, the Anti-Harassment Policy requires City managers and supervisors to model appropriate behavior, take all steps necessary to prevent harassment, discrimination, and retaliation from occurring, receive complaints in a fair and serious manner, take appropriate action to stop potential policy violations, implement appropriate disciplinary and remedial actions, and participate in appropriate periodic training. In June 2025, the City received allegations that Council Member Dianna MacDonald engaged in allegedly negative and offensive behavior towards City employees that appeared motivated by the Council Member’s publicly-known, consensual romantic relationship with a different City employee (“Consensual Relationship”). The City followed procedures set forth in the Anti-Harassment Policy and referred the matter to outside independent attorney investigator (“Investigator”) who conducted a confidential, independent and objective workplace investigation. The Investigator concluded it was more likely than not that Council Member MacDonald engaged in negative behavior towards City employees because of her Consensual Relationship, made unwelcomed remarks of a sexual nature about her Consensual Relationship to City employees, and attempted to influence a City

City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 19 of 21 December 16, 2025City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final operational decision based on her perception that it may benefit her romantic partner. Based on those findings, the Investigator further concluded that it was more likely than not that Council Member MacDonald’s conduct violated the Anti-Harassment Policy. RECOMMENDATION: Based on direction from City Council, the City Attorney brings forward this item for City Council to consider whether, in light of the findings of an independent attorney workplace investigator, to adopt a resolution: 1) censuring (which means publicly admonishing) Council Member MacDonald; 2) urging Council Member MacDonald to re-commit to her obligations under the Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy; 3) directing the City Manager to implement any further reasonable and appropriate operational steps in response to the Investigator’s findings; 4) directing the City Manager to bring forward for Council’s consideration any recommended changes to the Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy; 5) directing the City Manager to schedule a study session for Council to provide direction about a possible new policy to address intimate relationships between Council Members and City employees; and 6) directing the City Manager to prepare and provide, by March 31, 2026, additional training for Council Members related to the investigator’s findings.

The new California Building Standards (CCR-T24) was published on July 1, 2025 and will take effect on January 1, 2026. Similarly, every three years the International Code Council updates the International Property Maintenance Code with the most recent update occurring in 2024. Adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code is at the discretion of the local agency. In addition. The Health and Safety Code allows local jurisdictions to change or modify the State adopted model codes based on local geologic, climatic, or topographic conditions.

Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report City of Santa Rosa Page 14 of 16 DECEMBER 16, 2025City Council Policies, civility, and honesty in ensuring the effective maintenance of intergovernmental relationships and treat others with respect to maintain public confidence in City government. The City’s Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation Prevention Policy (“Anti-Harassment Policy”) is intended to prohibit and prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the City’s workplace. The Anti-Harassment Policy sets forth procedures for reporting, investigating, and resolving complaints of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation in the workplace, and for protecting City employees who make such complaints or participate in workplace investigations. Among other things, the Anti-Harassment Policy requires City managers and supervisors to model appropriate behavior, take all steps necessary to prevent harassment, discrimination, and retaliation from occurring, receive complaints in a fair and serious manner, take appropriate action to stop potential policy violations, implement appropriate disciplinary and remedial actions, and participate in appropriate periodic training. In June 2025, the City received allegations that Council Member Dianna MacDonald engaged in allegedly negative and offensive behavior towards City employees that appeared motivated by the Council Member’s publicly-known, consensual romantic relationship with a different City employee (“Consensual Relationship”). The City followed procedures set forth in the Anti-Harassment Policy and referred the matter to outside independent attorney investigator (“Investigator”) who conducted a confidential, independent and objective workplace investigation.
