§ 4-8-1. PURPOSE.

The council declares that the operation of responsible democratic government requires that the fullest opportunity be afforded to the people to petition their government for the redress of grievances and to express freely to any city officials their opinions on pending municipal questions and on current issues. Further to preserve and maintain the integrity of the governmental decision- making process in the city, it is necessary that the identity, expenditures, and activities of certain persons who engage in efforts to influence a City official on matters within their official jurisdictions, either by direct communication to the official, or by solicitation of others to engage in such efforts, be publicly and regularly disclosed.
