Council Agenda Structure Reform
The council advanced an ordinance moving regular meetings to Tuesdays, effective March 10 if adopted January 26. Supporters say it cuts holiday conflicts and matches most OC cities; critics — including Council Member Peat and five residents — say it ignores schedules and was politically motivated. Side effect: the city will need a new city attorney.
Local campaign contribution limits and donor disclosure
The council adopted a $500 per-election contribution cap and required dark-money groups to disclose their top five funders. Supporters say it fights pay-to-play politics; opponents say it favors incumbents and pushes money into independent expenditures.
