Ballot Summary
The following is the summary, written by the City Staff, that will appear on the ballot.
"Shall City of Torrance's Charter (established in 1947) be amended/modernized, compliant with State law,
including:
- Requiring disclosure of all campaign donations to City candidates.
- Requiring lobbyists to register with the City.
- Requiring ethics training for all elected officials.
- Establishing stricter conflict of interest rules on elected officials/City staff.
- Restricting Mayor/Council members compensation to State of California Minimum Wage rate without raising taxes.
- Requiring public disclosure, independent audits of all City spending?"
Take notice that:
- there is no mention of deleting Article 15 Airport Fund,
- the "restriction" on Council salaries is actually a 1600% INCREASE, and
- California state law already requires the disclosure of all donations to City candidates.
