Limit political group members to 35% on city boards and commissions
In Plain English
Concerns have emerged that some political advocacy groups may have too much influence over city board decisions. The city currently has rules preventing conflicts of interest but no limits on political group representation. If approved, no single political advocacy group can have more than 35% of seats on any board or commission, and all applicants must disclose their political group memberships.
