LEVINE ACT DISCLOSURES (SB 1181)

If you have donated $500 or more to the campaign of a South San Francisco elected official in the past twelve

(12) months, please read the following paragraphs carefully:

• The Levine Act (Gov. Code § 84308) requires any Party, Agent, or Participant, as defined in §84308(a), of a

proceeding involving any grants, denials, renewals, restrictions, or modifications to any licenses and permits,

entitlements for use, contracts, or franchises (“Proceeding”), to disclose on the record any contributions they

have made to any elected, appointed, or candidate for City Officer totaling more than $500 within the preceding

12 months.

• The Levine Act also requires any elected, appointed, alternate, or candidate for City Officer who has received

a contribution totaling $500 within the past 12 months from a Party, Agent, or Participant of a Proceeding to (1)

disclose that fact on the record involving the Proceeding and (2) to recuse themselves from, and in no way

attempt to use their official position to influence any decision involving, the Proceeding.

• Elected, appointed, alternates, or candidates for City Officer are prohibited from accepting, soliciting, and

directing, and Parties, Participants, and Agents are prohibited from making, campaign contributions of more

than $500 while the Proceeding is pending and for 12 months after the date a final decision is rendered for the

Proceeding.

Violations of the Levine Act may result in a civil action brought by the Fair Political Practice Commission

(FPPC) for an amount up to five thousand dollars ($5,000) per violation. Any person who knowingly or willfully

violates any provision of the Political Reform Act is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of up to the

greater of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or three times the amount the person unlawfully contributed upon

conviction for each violation.

Under the Public Comment section of the agenda, members of the public may speak on any item not listed

on the Agenda and on items listed under the Consent Calendar. Individuals may not share or offer time to

another speaker. Pursuant to provisions of the Brown Act, no action may be taken on a matter unless it is

a future Council meeting.

Written comments on agenda items received prior to 4:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting will be included as

with the City Council's rules of decorum will be muted.

CONSENT CALENDAR

All matters under the Consent Calendar are considered to be routine and noncontroversial. These items

will be enacted by one motion, without discussion, and are not read individually. If, however, any Council

member(s) wishes to comment on an item, they may do so before action is taken on the Consent Calendar.

Following comments, if a Council member wishes to discuss an item, it will be removed from the Consent

Calendar and taken up in order after adoption of the Consent Calendar.
