To Applicants for Brown Act Commissions/Committees:
Thank you for your interest in volunteering to serve on a City Commission/Committee. Please be
advised that members of a Brown Act Commission/Committee are subject to the Political Reform Act
which requires that public officials should not participate in decisions that are economically
advantageous to them. Therefore the City’s Resolution No. CCR-11-51 requires the filing of a 700 Form
with the City Clerk by Commission/Committee Members within 30 days of appointment or prior to their
participation in the meetings of the Commission/Committee to which they have been appointed.
The purpose of the Form 700 is to provide, for disclosure purposes, the personal assets and income of
public officials, salaried or unsalaried, who possess decision making authority, affecting public
investments through their decisions or who provide recommendations that are regularly approved by
another public official or governmental agency.
Although, at first glance, the 700 Form may appear to be a daunting document, the reality is that most
filers are only required to complete the cover page and one or two of the schedules, as most of the other
schedules are not applicable.
All Members of Commissions/Committees must complete applicable pages of the 700 Form as follows:
Cover Page: All filers must complete.
Schedule A-1: Use this schedule to report stocks, bonds, and other investments in entities located in,
doing business in, or plan to do business in the City of Mt. Shasta.
Schedule A-2: Use this schedule to report any businesses that you, your spouse or registered domestic
partner have a greater than 10% interest in or that provides you with revenues over $2,000 that is located
in, doing business in, or plans to do business in the City of Mt. Shasta.
Schedule B: Use this schedule to report any interest you or your spouse might have in real properties
located in the City of Mt. Shasta, other than your principal residence.
Schedule C: Use this schedule to report other sources of income, such as income from a loan you may
have made or spousal or registered domestic partner income. Again only report those income sources
from business that are located or are doing business in the City of Mt. Shasta.
Schedule D: Probably NOT APPLICABLE. This is a reporting of a gift or combination of gifts or
income donated to you by another party whose value or combined value is $50 or more. It is the
acceptance of the gift not ultimate use of the item that is reportable.
Schedules E & F: NOT APPLICABLE. This is a reporting of any travel advances or reimbursements.
None of the City’s Brown Act Committee Members seldom do any traveling on behalf of the City that
qualifies for reimbursement by the City and you are not required to report payments received for which
you provided services equal or greater in value than the payments received.
Again, thank you for your willingness to give of your time and efforts on a volunteer basis. Should you
have any questions or require any further information, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Wilson
Deputy City Clerk
