DISCLOSURE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
(Levine Act – Government Code section 84308)
 

Pursuant to Government Code section 84308, members of the Board of Supervisors are disqualified and not able to participate in any agenda item involving contracts (other than competitively bid contracts, labor contracts, or personal employment contracts with County of Ventura employees), franchises, discretionary land use permits and other entitlements if the Board member received more than $250 in campaign contributions from the applicant or contractor, an agent of the applicant or contractor, or any financially interested participant who actively supports or opposes the County’s decision on the agenda item within the previous 12 months.  Members of the Board of Supervisors who have received, and applicants, contractors or their agents who have made, campaign contributions totaling more than $250 to a Board member within the previous 12 months, are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the subject agenda item and shall not make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use their official position to influence the subject agenda item.  Disclosures must include the amount of the campaign contribution and identify the recipient Board member and may be made either in writing to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors prior to the subject hearing or by verbal disclosure at the time of the hearing. 

Additionally, any party to an agenda item involving contracts (other than competitively bid contracts, labor contracts, or personal employment contracts with County of Ventura employees), franchises, discretionary land use permits and other entitlements is required, to disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution, including aggregated contributions, of more than $250 made by them or their agent to any Board member or candidate within the previous 12 months. The disclosure must include the name of the party or participant and any other person making the contribution, if any; the name of the recipient; the amount of the contribution; and the date the contribution was made. Any financially interested participant to such an agenda item is strongly urged to disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution, including aggregated contributions, of more than $250 made by them or their agent to any Board member or candidate within the previous 12 months.

The foregoing statements do not constitute legal advice, and parties and participants are urged to consult with their own legal counsel regarding the requirements of the law.

Board agenda items subject to the Levine Act are marked with the following notation on the agenda:  LEVINE ACT ITEM

PUBLIC COMMENT

Public comment is the opportunity for members of the public to participate in meetings by addressing the Board of Supervisors in connection with one or more agenda or non-agenda items. Public comments by a member of the public at a single meeting are limited to a cumulative total of five minutes at such meeting unless the time allotment is increased or decreased by the Chair depending on the number of speakers. The public comment period during the opening part of the meeting to address non-agenda items is limited to 30 minutes total for all speakers; this 30-minute limit does not apply to items on the agenda.

To maintain a public meeting environment conductive and welcoming to receiving public comments from all members of the public, the audience is discouraged from engaging in displays of support or opposition to staff reports or public comments, including clapping, yelling, booing, hissing or cheering, that may create a disruptive environment for members of the public wishing to participate. Any person who disrupts or impedes the orderly conduct of a meeting will be instructed to cease the disruptive conduct. Failure to do so may result in that person being removed from the meeting.

Members of the public who would like to augment their comments with visual or audio presentations using County equipment must submit their materials to the Clerk of the Board for review at least 24 hours before the meeting before use of County equipment will be allowed. The review will be conducted to determine only whether the materials are on matters within the jurisdiction of the Board, would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, such as identity theft. If it is determined that materials are about matters not within the Board’s jurisdiction, or would be disruptive of the meeting, or would foster illegality, use of County equipment will not be allowed.
