Posted By gaethics On April 15, 2011 @ 3:12 pm In Lobbyist Questions | No Comments

There are three types of local level lobbyists:

  1. Any person who is paid, either individually or part of his / her salary, specifically to take any action to promote / oppose the passage of any ordinance or resolution at the City or County level; and who spends more than 10% of his / her working hours doing this,  including time spent in planning, researching, or preparing for such activities
    • If the person has just one employer = 10% of all time worked for that employer.
    • If more than one employer or more than one client = 10 % applied separately with respect to time spent working for each employer and each client.
  2. Any employee of the executive or judicial branch of local government who is paid, either individually or part of his / her salary, specifically to take any action to promote / oppose the passage of any ordinance or resolution at the City or County level ; and who spends more than 10% of his / her working hours doing this,  including time spent in planning, researching, or preparing for such activities
  3. Any person who spends a total of more than $1,000.00 in a calendar year (not including his / her own travel, food, lodging expenses, or informational material) to promote / oppose the passage of any ordinance or resolution at the City or County level
