On March 25, 2009, the City Council adopted a Ticket and Passes Distribution Policy. The policy was developed in compliance with California Fair Political Practices Commission Regulation 18944.1. The purpose of the policy is to ensure that all tickets the City receives from public and private entities and individuals are distributed in furtherance of governmental and/or public purposes.
A candidate’s campaign committee, a general purpose committee, a political party committee, a slate mailer organization, a major donor, and a person or entity making independent expenditures on candidates or ballot measures in California are all types of committees subject to the campaign rules under the Act.
The California Fair Political Practices Commission requires each agency to post a single Form 806 (FPPC Regulation 18705.5). The Form 806 is used to report additional compensation that officials receive when appointing themselves to positions on other boards, commissions, and committees of a public agency, special district, or joint power agency/authorities. Each agency must post a single Form 806 listing all paid appointed positions. Where there is a change in compensation or a new appointment, the Form 806 is updated to reflect the change.
