This ordinance requires elected officers to disclose campaign contributions greater than $10,000 to the City's Ethics Commission, which will then make the information publicly available. It also prohibits campaign contributions to members of the Board of Supervisors, candidates for the Board, the Mayor, candidates for Mayor, and their controlled committees, from any person with pending or recently resolved land use matters. This ordinance aims to increase transparency in election campaigns and prevent the use of anonymous funds to influence elections.
