LEVINE ACT
The Levine Act (California Government Code Section 84308) prohibits, in certain cases, campaign contributions to members of the City Council by those who have proceedings (e.g.,
February 18, 2026City Council Meeting Agenda - Final
applications for land use and other entitlements, contracts, etc.) pending before the City Council and by those who may have an interest in proceedings (including those acting as agents for applicants or potential contractors). Moreover, the Levine Act may require disclosure of contributions by such individuals. The law is complex, and this brief description is not legal advice. If you or an agent have made any campaign contributions to a City Councilmember in the 12 months before a proceeding in which you have an interest or you are contemplating making a contribution within the 12 months after such a proceeding, you are urged to review the Levine Act and consider consulting an attorney. A 2023 version of the Levine Act and a Fair Political Practices Commission summary of it is published on the City's website here :

The Ralph M. Brown Act (the State local agency open meeting law) prohibits the City Council from acting on any matter that is not on the agenda.
5. GOAL SETTING SESSION
Successful governments plan for the future. Not just the immediate future but also for the next generation and the generations after them. Many cities of similar size have vision statements that shed light on the values of the city and vice versa.
This Goal Setting Session seeks to generate the values and outline a vision for Burlingame for generations to come.
Homework: Before the meeting consider the five values (or more) that you think best define Burlingame; consider what assets we have and what we are missing in Burlingame, and consider what you would like the City to be in twenty-five years.
