Councilmember Epstein moved an amendment to the motion to include
the following alternate contract language for grantees: Grantee
shall comply with all applicable statutes and regulations, federal,

make an effort to provide assistance to Grantee as to the content
' and interpretation of such regulations, Grantee is independently
responsible for compliance, and noncompliance shall not be excused
' by reliance upon advice from the City or its agents. These
regulations, and City policy, forbid Grantee from participating in,
or permitting the use of its facilities, directly or indirectly for
the purpose of voter registration, solicitation of votes in
partisan and non-partisan elections, including initiative and
referendum campaigns, solicitation of signatures or any form of
advocacy in connection with such elections. Grantee shall not
engage in lobbying in violation of any applicable statute or
regulations, including but not limited to the statutes and
regulations governing nonprofit corporations under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and shall be guided by the
most restrictive of such statutes or regulations. Section
501(c)(3) requires that lobbying be at most an insubstantial part
of the activities of of nonprofit corporations. (For neighborhood
organizations only). One of Grantee's purposes is the
determination of the views of neighborhood residents on matters of
immediate neighborhood concern, and the presentation of such views
to government agencies and others. However, permitted lobbying
activities are limited to those permitted under all applicable
statutes and regulations, and shall primarily be directed to local
government, and only in exceptional circumstances and to a limited
extent to higher levels of government such as the State Legislature
or the Congress. In connection with all lobbying activities,
I Grantee shall arrive at its positions democratically, and if
substantial sentiment for minority positions exists in its
membership or neighborhood, Grantee shall make a good-faith,
reasonable effort to disclose such views to the public and the
public agencies before whom Grantee lobbies. In lobbying before
bodies other than agencies of the City of Santa Monica, Grantee
shall include a disclaimer to the effect that it does not
i officially represent the City of Santa Monica, and the City may or
may not agree with its position. Second by Councilmember Reed.
