Chapter Four –Legal Matters (Cont.)
If Smith did receive a contribution of more than $500 from Builder, Smith and Builder would be required to disclose the contribution in the record of the planning commission meeting. Smith would also have to disqualify herself from considering Builder’s permit request unless she returns that portion of the campaign contribution exceeding $500 within 30 days after learning of the contribution and Builder’s pending permit. Additional information about conflicts created by campaign contributions is in Appendix I or on the FPPC web site at fppc.ca.gov .
