Married,3 children: Vice President, Huntington Beach Public Facilities Corporation, Chairman Human Resources Council, Past President, League,of Women Voters. Administration of our city business must be consistently watched and guided to ensure efficient, economic and open operation. I will insist that Council decisions be made only at well publicized open meetings, not in . study or executive session. For fifteen years I have watched haphazard planning turn Huntington Beach into a poorly developed,traffic congested city. In I Y2 years as Public Facilities Corporation Director,I've found evidence of wasteful decisions and ` ;! poor city accounting procedures. Appointed to a special investigative committee I participated in recommendations to improve management methods. The important council directed,changes remain uncorrected. My first priorities are: lowering taxes, evaluation of the Utility Tax,questioning high salaries,large reserve funds, frills and departmental inefficiencies. Affordable housing and needs of our youth, senior citizens and handicapped will have my immediate attention. I favor working effectively with private organizations and County Government to solve our cultural and social concerns efficiently and economically. I will take time to listen and respond_.

That section concerns itself with campaign contribution limitations . In my opinion, the amendments proposed by Home Council would be superfluous to the existing section . First, the Home Council proposes to add a definition to the word "person. " This is unnecessary in that "person" is already defined in Section 1 .04 . 010(e) of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code . A comparison of the latter existing definition and the one propased by Home Council shows them to be substantially similar, except for the fact that the final sentence of the ; proposed section discusses activities of the campaign committee . It is unnecessary for the City to adopt said sentence in that Section 82013 of the Government Code defines committees and Sections 811100 et seq . of the Government Code describes the organization, powers and duties of committees . Secondly , the other subsections proposed by the Home Council would seek to prohibit any person from concealing the true. origin of any campaign contribution or circumventing the con- tribution limitations . In my opinion it is unnecessary to add these subsections because the campaign contribution limitation is sufficient in and of itself. It is an infraction for anyone to violate existing Section 2. 04 .050 , that is , contribute more more $200 to any individual candidate . If it can be proved that a person contributed more than $200 through another person, he .could be prosecuted and certainly nn,y c t rcrarnvc-r-it lon Of tho contribution limitation would bc::, a v.lolation of this section as well . j i MARK TRAVIS Deputy City Attorney /cs cc ; City Administrator 1 Ho ' CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH CA 7 8-2 7 COUNCIL-ADMINISTRATOR COMMUNICATION' HUNTINGTON BEACH (^� I, To Honorable Mayor and From Floyd G. Belsito City Council Members City Administrator Subject CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION Date February 23 , 1978 ORDINANCE STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The ordinance limiting campaign contributions to $200 per donor does not specifically define "person" in sufficient detail to insure that the intent of the ordinance cannot be circumvented. RECOMMENDATION: After reading by title , waive further reading of Ordinance No. a 71 , attached. ANALYSIS : The recommended ordinance defines "person" to include "individual proprietorship, firm, partnership, joint venture , syndicate , business , trust , company, corporation, association, committee , or any other group of persons acting in concert .
