Recommendation R6
The Grand Jury recommends that in the event the Board does not remove section (4f) from Ordinance 963, that they adopt a policy requiring supervisors to disclose the contributor and the precise amount at the time of a vote on an item, where that supervisor has received more than $20,000 in cumulative campaign contributions from that person (as defined in the ordinance) since their last campaign cycle, and where the contributor (person) may have a vested interest in the item.
