Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On March 21, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2017-0027 adding chapter 2.13 (Campaign Contribution Limits Code) to the Sacramento City Code. Among other things, chapter 2.13 authorizes the City Council to approve a contract between the City and the California Fair Political Practices Commission (the “FPPC”) under which the FPPC would enforce the chapter. The City and the FPPC entered into such an agreement in April 2018.
The agreement requires the FPPC to audit each candidate for elective City office and the candidate’s controlled committees if $2,000 or more in contributions have been received or $2,000 in expenditures have been made, whether by the candidate or by committees controlled by the candidate or primarily supporting his or her candidacy.
FPPC staff will attend the Commission’s meeting on August 26 to outline the process and timeline for auditing candidates and candidate-controlled committees and to answer the commissioners’ questions.
