The Levine Act requires a Party in a Proceeding before the Central County Fire Department (CCFD) that involves any action related to their contract, license, permit, or use entitlement to disclose any campaign contributions to CCFD’s appointed officials totaling more than $250 within the 12 months prior to CCFD’s decision. A Participant to a Proceeding may voluntarily report a campaign contribution on this form and submit it to CCFD.

The form must be completed (1) by the party to a contract with CCFD (or that party’s agent) at the time the party submits a response to a Request for Proposals, Request for Bids, or other competitive solicitation, enters into contract negotiations with CCFD, or executes a contract with CCFD, whichever is earliest, or (2) by a party to a license, permit, or other entitlement proceeding before CCFD at the time the party (or their agent) submits the license, permit, or entitlement application to CCFD. The requirement to submit this form applies where a party (or that party’s agent) has contributed more than $250 to Board member(s) or Alternate(s), if they may participate in the proceeding, within the prior 12 months of the proceeding.
