City Council Meeting Agenda - Final April 21, 2025
LEVINE ACT
The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) prohibits, in certain
cases, campaign contributions to members of the City Council by those who have
proceedings (e.g., applications for land use and other entitlements, contracts, etc.)
pending before the City Council and by those who may have an interest in
proceedings (including those acting as agents for applicants or potential
contractors). Moreover, the Levine Act may require disclosure of contributions by
such individuals. The law is complex and this brief description is not legal advice. If
you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a City Councilmember in
the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and
consider consulting an attorney. A 2023 version of the Levine Act and a Fair Political
Practices Commission summary of it can be found here:
