3. If the registrant is a former City official or employee, a statement that the registrant's lobbying activities have not violated and will not foreseeably violate Section 1-6-107 of this Municipal Code. Also the registrant shall list any positions held as a City official or employee during the past year. E. Termination of registration. A registrant shall file a notice of termination of registration with the City Clerk if the registrant is no longer required by Section 1- 7-103 to register.

At the time of initial or subsequent annual registration with respect to a client, a registrant shall pay to the City, and the City Clerk shall collect, a fee in an amount to be determined by the City Council.
