DISCLOSURE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS:
California Government Code section 84308 (“Levine Act”) requires a party to or participant in a

competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts, to disclose any contribution of more than
$500 that the party or participant (or their agent) has made to a member of the City Council within

record of the subject proceedings. Disclosures must include the amount of the campaign
contribution and identify the recipient City Council Member and may be made either in writing to the
City Clerk before the agenda item or by verbal disclosure during consideration. The Levine Act also
prohibits, during the proceeding and for 12 months following a final decision, a party to or participant
in (or their agent) a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement, including all contracts
other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts, from making a contribution of
