Council Member Pirsztuk — Thanked all those that have recently applied to our
Committees, Commissions and Boards (CCB's), asked residents to keep
applying, the CCB's are a valuable asset to the Council. Mentioned Council
would like quarterly reports from each CCB. Congratulated all the recent and
upcoming graduates.
Mayor Pro Tern Pimentel — Reported a number of bills we were concerned about
have been suspended. If you have concerns regarding R1 Zones, please make
your opinion known to our Assemblywoman, Autumn Burke.
Mayor Boyles — Commented on the "Vote of No Confidence in Gascon" that other
cities are passing, stated the City and Council are paying attention and believes
the SBCOG is as well, and the City and Council continue to monitor. Possibly
add Legislative Update to our Community Update communications.
REPORTS — CITY ATTORNEY —
14. Local Campaign Contribution Limits - AB 571
(Fiscal Impact: If the City Council continues to keep the current local limitation in
place, the City would continue to be responsible for enforcing and prosecuting
any violations of the Ordinance. It is possible, but unlikely, that there could be
some fiscal impact to the General Fund budget if the City undertook such
enforcement and prosecution. If the City were to repeal the ordinance and allow
the state default limits to apply, there would be no cost for enforcement by the
City, since the FPPC would be responsible for enforcing the state law)
Mark Hensley, City Attorney reported on the item.
Council Discussion
Council consensus to repeal the city's current ordinance, allowing the default campaign
contribution limits from the state law to apply.
J. REPORTS/FOLLOW-UP — CITY MANAGER — Mentioned the next meeting will
be June 15, 2021 and will mainly focus on the budget.
