Requirements during the contracting proposal process:

“Lobbying occurs when someone—regardless of title—is paid to influence a City action on behalf of another person.” City law requires those who qualify as a lobbying entity to disclose specified information and register with the Ethics Commission. The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission’s website explains who would be considered a lobbyist and has information on lobbying laws, as well as City laws on the limitations of gifts and political contributions from bidders, contractors, and subcontractors. Publications and forms are also included on the Ethics Commission website.

Section 49.5.11 of this ordinance was developed by the Los Angeles City Ethics Commission and is also part of the Los Angeles Municipal Code. This Section refers to City board or commission member involvement in the various stages of contract proposals, bids, or any other requests for contract awards/amendments/changes; City board or commission members must refrain from contracting-related activities that involve their board, commission, or agency, except at public meetings.

The purpose of this Board Policy is to prevent and avoid the appearance of undue influence on the Board or any of its members, or on Staff, in the award of all contracts. It restricts contact with the Board and Staff at certain points in time.
