Council members Nora Campos and Forrest Williams voted against the amendment.

The amendment now requires lobbyists to disclose for which city official they fundraise and for how much, the name of the contributors, the amount of the contribution, the fundraising activity date and any contributions received from third parties.

Councilman Ken Yeager proposed the amendment after it was discovered that lobbyists who were fundraising for mayoral candidates did not have to disclose where the money was coming from.

The amendment is "a clarification of the intent of the ordinance," Yeager said. He was the chairman of the blue ribbon task force that proposed the lobbyist ordinance passed in 2004.

Campos did not support the motion because she said it would put an additional and unnecessary burden on the city attorney and city clerk. Williams opposed the amendment because he said it was insulting to the council's integrity.

"I resent the fact that someone would think I'm for sale," he said. "You cannot legislate integrity."

Council members and mayoral candidates Chuck Reed and Dave Cortese submitted memorandums to the council with additional lobbyist requirements. Both included a motion to send the memos to the rules committee and a motion to send the memos to city staff for further study. These motions were voted down 6-5.

Reed's memo called for stricter rules regarding who had to register as a lobbyist.

"Where are the developers? Where are the property owners? Where are the unions?" Reed questioned of the list of registered lobbyists. Under current law, developers, property owners and labor unions do not have to register as lobbyists.

"I think that's the greatest failure of our lobbyist law," he added.

Cortese's memo asked for "real-time" availability of lobbyist disclosure reports, requiring lobbyists to file the report within 48 hours of the fundraising activity and the city clerk to make those reports immediately available online.

Williams, who made the motion for the memos to go to the rules committee, voted in favor of the motion along with Yeager, a candidate for Santa Clara County supervisor, and mayoral candidates Reed, Cortese and Cindy Chavez. Councilwoman Linda LeZotte, who is also running for Santa Clara County supervisor, voted against submitting the memos to the rules committee but made a motion for the memos to be studied further by city staff, saying the whole council should be involved in discussing the memos. That motion also died 6-5.
