DISCLOSURE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS (Gov. Code section 84308)

Members of the Board of Supervisors are disqualified and not able to participate in any agenda item involving contracts

over $50,000 (other than competitively bid, labor, or personal employment contracts), franchises, discretionary land

use permits and other entitlements, if the Board member received more than $500.00 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. The disqualification applies to contributions received

within 12 months before the final decision and continues for 12 months after the final decision. Members of the Board

of Supervisors who have received, and applicants, contractors or their agents who have made campaign contributions

totaling more than $500.00 to a Board member are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the subject

proceeding. 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 verbally at

the time of the hearing.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:

All members of the public shall be allowed to address the Board on any item which is noticed on the Board’s agenda as

a public hearing. The Chair of the Board may limit the total amount of time allocated for the public hearing and may limit

any individual desiring to address the Board to no more than three (3) minutes. Any person may provide the Board with

a written statement in lieu of or in supplement to any oral statement made during a public hearing. Written statements

shall be submitted to the Clerk of the Board.

Whenever a public hearing is conducted, the public hearing is closed and the matter is continued to a subsequent

meeting for Board deliberation and/or action, the Board shall not allow public comment and/or testimony on that item at

the subsequent hearing. However, at the initial public hearing, prior to taking action, the Board may, at its sole

discretion, elect to continue the matter and reopen the public hearing. At the subsequent hearing, all information will be

considered. The Board may also, at the initial public hearing, prior to taking action, announce that the public hearing is

being continued for specific information and the public testimony will only be heard on new information specific to the

Board’s direction. If, after the public hearing is closed and the Board later decides to reopen the public hearing for

public testimony, appropriate notices must be published.

ORDINANCES:

1) By statute, an ordinance may be passed immediately upon introduction only after notice and a public hearing.

2) An urgency ordinance may be passed immediately upon introduction with a 4/5 affirmative vote.

3) All other ordinances shall not be passed within five days of their introduction, nor at other than a regular meeting or

at an adjourned regular meeting unless authorized by statute as indicated above. The Board of Supervisors will address

ordinances at first readings and will make any amendments. The public is urged to address ordinances at first readings;

as passage of ordinances will be held at second readings, after waiving further reading of the ordinance.
