The City's <br />concern is to work with lobbyist to ensure registration when appropriate, not to use the <br />Lobbyist Registration Ordinance to generate revenues to create unnecessary obstacles. <br /> <br />Currently, the Lobbyist Registration Ordinance requires that all lobbyists, including <br />principals, register with the City Clerk before engaging in any lobbying activites in the <br />City. The City desires to amend the Lobbyist Registration Ordinance to clarify that only <br />those principals who have not employed a lobbyist are required to register with the City <br />Clerk. If a principal has employed a lobbyist who is registered with the City Clerk, then <br />the principal is not required to register with the City Clerk. <br /> <br />This proposed amendment will ensure the City implements a non-bureaucratic, common <br />sense approach to lobbyist registration. The proposed amendment is consistent with past <br />practice. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />. Newpapaer Article <br />. Ordinance amending Chapter 33-2 of the City Code <br />.
