To submit a written public comment:
E-mail [email protected] before the Council discusses the item, noting the agenda topic or number in the
subject line. Comments received up to three hours before the meeting will be distributed to the Council and
included in the record but not read aloud during the meeting..
The Mayor has the authority to rule any speaker out of order, including speakers during the Public Comment
period; If the subject raised is not within the subject matter jurisdiction of the City Council, during a public hearing
or a general business item if the speaker is not presenting testimony or evidence relevant to the matter or if the
speaker becomes disruptive to the proceedings and conduct of the meeting.
The Mayor also has the authority to order any person who willfully interrupts the meeting to be removed. All
persons are expected to always conduct themselves with civility and courtesy. All persons giving comments shall
speak directly to the Council and address issues, not individuals. Personal attacks, cursing and outbursts from the
audience in support or opposition to a speaker are not tolerated to foster an environment where everyone feels
welcome to speak.
LEVINE ACT:

The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) limits campaign contributions that may be
made to elected or appointed City officials (including councilmembers and the mayor) and certain
candidates for elective city offices. The Act prohibits an agent of a party from contributing any amount
to councilmember while a proceeding for a contract valued at $50,000 or more, permit, license, or
other entitlement for use is pending that does not solely involve purely ministerial decisions. The Act
also prohibits parties and participants in the above entitlement proceedings from contributing more
than $500 during the proceeding and for 12 months after the proceeding and requires disclosure of
the prohibited contributions. The Act prohibits certain officials, including local elected officials, from
taking part in an entitlement proceeding if the official has received a contribution exceeding $500
from a party or participant in the proceeding within the preceding 12 months. An official is also
prohibited from accepting, soliciting, or directing a contribution exceeding $500 from a party or
participant in the proceeding for 12 months after a final decision is rendered in such a proceeding. The
law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any
campaign contributions to a councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have
an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a
proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. The California
Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is responsible for administering the Levine Act. More
information about the Act and its implementing regulations can be found on the FPPC’s website here:

ACCESSIBILITY
If you need assistance to participate in this meeting, please contact the City Clerk at (650) 595-7413. Notification

meeting.
