DISCLOSURE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS (Levine Act – Government Code section 84308) Government Code section 84308 establishes campaign contribution conflict of interest rules that apply to agenda items involving contracts, franchises, discretionary land use permits and other entitlements. Agenda items involving the following contracts are not covered by the statute: contracts valued under $50,000, competitively bid contracts, contracts where no party receives financial compensation, labor contracts, contracts between public agencies, and personal employment contracts with public agency employees. An agenda item covered by the statute is referred to in this summary as a “Levine Act Item” and is expressly identified on the agenda. Members of the Board of Supervisors are disqualified and not able to participate in a Levine Act Item if they received more than $500 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 Levine Act 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 $500 to a Board member within the previous 12 months, are required to disclose that fact for the official record of the Levine Act Item and shall not make, participate in making, or in any way attempt to use their official position to influence the 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 a Levine Act Item is required to disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution, including aggregated contributions, of more than $500 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 a Levine Act Item is strongly urged to disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution, including aggregated contributions, of more than $500 made by them or their agent to any Board member or candidate within the previous 12 months. The foregoing summary does not constitute legal advice, and parties and participants are urged to consult with their own legal counsel regarding the requirements of the statute. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -2- August 04, 2026 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AGENDA -3- August 04, 2026 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 three minutes per speaker per listed agenda item unless the time allotment is decreased by the Chair depending on the number of speakers. The general public comment period during the opening part of the meeting to address non-agenda items is limited to no more than three minutes per speaker and may be decreased by the Chair depending on the number of speakers for non-agenda items. To maintain a public meeting environment conducive 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 the 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 the materials are about matters not within the Board’s jurisdiction, or would be disruptive to the meeting, or would foster illegality, the use of County equipment will not be allowed.
