If, in any quarterly financial report filed under section 2-954, it is reported that more than the amount set forth in section 2-954 was spent while lobbying a covered official or that a lobbyist donated to a covered official any meals, tickets to events for which admission is charged, or reduced-price admissions to events for which admission is charged, then the city clerk shall notify the covered official in writing within 15 days. The city clerk shall also notify any covered official if a lobbyist reports any business or employment relationship involving that official within 15 days. Following receipt of either notification, the covered official may, within 10 days, file a written statement containing the reasons why his or her name should not be included in the quarterly report. This statement shall be attached to and remain a part of the quarterly report. (Ord. No. 2021-08, § 1, 3-22-2021)
