AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY’S ELECTION CAMPAIGN REGULATIONS - ORDINANCE INTRODUCTION City Clerk Mejia narrated a presentation entitled “City’s Election Campaign Regulations” and responded to Council inquires.

During the course of discussion, individual Councilmember(s) expressed opinions concerning the proposed regulations. The statements that follow do not necessarily reflect Council consensus: • Lower contribution limits are better for the average campaigner. • City Council candidate are used to contribution limits. • San Luis Obispo is a small community, without large businesses and organizations that support candidates. • Candidates and incumbents are at risk of unregulated independent expenditure committee campaigns against them. • The Supreme Court is setting the tone for the elimination of contribution limits. • Eliminating contribution limits will allow candidates to compete against independent expenditure committees, which is fairer and transparent. • Contribution limits have not impeded the ability to launch successful campaigns. • Incremental increases in contribution limits cause incremental increases in campaign spending. • A $300 contribution limit is in line with historical limits and comparable cities.
