2020 SEPTEMBER 01 CC/CUA/CPFA/CHA MEETING 2 - MPT Suchil presented this item for discussion indicating the City of Colton does not have an ordinance in place regarding campaign contribution limits: AB 571 outlines the following: Prohibits a person, other than a small contributor committee or political party committee, from making any contribution totaling more than $4,700 to any candidate for elective state office other than statewide elective office, and prohibits candidates from accepting a contribution that exceeds that amount. Provides that these limits become effective January 1, 2021; and recommended a possible increase in the amount of $5000 or $6,000. If an ordinance is not in place to increase the amount it remains the same as outlined by the State of California and continues to be the responsibility of FPPC to enforce as outline in the Political Reform Act of the State of California. Discussion and discernment continued with all Councilmembers present and a consensus at this time to not go forward to change the set amount set by the State of California as it relates to campaign contribution limits. • Discussion and possible direction to staff regarding the imposition of term limits for elected office in the City of Colton. MPT Suchil presented this item for discussion and outlined the reasoning for change to a term limit for elected office: it would show transparency; encourage change within a reasonable time frame; limit Council term to end after approximately (2) to (3) terms. Discussion and discernment continued with all Councilmembers present and a consensus at this time for direction to Staff to return at the beginning of the next calendar year with a Staff Report for discussion and possible action relating to term limits for elected office. *************************************************************************** Public Comment None *************************************************************************** CONSENT CALENDAR Mayor Navarro presented the Consent Calendar Items 1 through 14.
