DISCLOSURE OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS:
State legislation requires disclosure of campaign contributions of $250 or more, made to any Planning
Commissioner, by any person who actively supports or opposes any application pending before the Planning
Commission, and such person has a financial interest in the decision. Active support or opposition includes
lobbying a Commissioner and/or testifying for or against such an application. Any person having made a $250 or
larger contribution within the preceding 12 months must disclose that fact during the public hearing or on said
application.
The official City Planning Commission policy is that applications pending before this Commission should not be
discussed with the Commission members outside of a public hearing. If any representations are made privately,
they must be identified and placed in the public record at the time of the hearing.
If you challenge the proposed action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone
else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Planning
Commission, at, or prior to, the public hearing.
NOTE: All proceedings before this meeting body are conducted in English. The City of Stockton does not furnish
