Campaign Policy
Policy Regarding Political Campaign Activities At District Facilities
No persons may campaign on behalf of political candidates, whether partisan or
nonpartisan, or political issues at the District’s Recreational Facilities, except in
predetermined areas designated for such activities, as more specifically provided for
herein. The District’s intent is to ensure patrons are able to use the Recreational Facilities
without interruption by activities normally associated with political campaigns and to
ensure safety and order within the facilities. The following guidelines apply:
• Political campaigns are afforded the same opportunity as other persons or groups
to rent District meeting room space at published rates.
• No political campaign signs, flyers or related documents are to be posted in or on
District owned property, including District bulletin boards, and if discovered,
such postings will be removed immediately.
• No political campaign signs, flyers or related documents are to be disseminated
while in the District’s Recreational Facilities.
• To allow for the efficient and timely conduct of District business during public
Board meetings, no political messages, paraphernalia (including but not limited to
shirts, buttons, signs or the like), political public comments or otherwise are
allowed in or during a public meeting of the Board of Supervisors in furtherance
of the candidacy of any candidate for public office.
District employees may not campaign for candidates or political issues while on duty or
use the District’s resources in furtherance thereof.
Neither Board members nor District employees may use their official authority or
influence for the purpose of coercing or influencing another’s vote or coercing or
influencing another into paying, lending or contributing any part of his or her salary, or
any money, or anything else of value to any party, committee, organization, agency, or
person for political purposes.
Candidates for a District Board seat may not, in furtherance of his or her candidacy, use
the services of District employees during working hours.
NO person shall make and no person shall solicit or knowingly accept any political
contribution in a building owned by a governmental entity. For purposes of this
subsection, “accept” means to receive a contribution by personal hand delivery from a
contributor or the contributor’s agent. This subsection shall not apply when a
government-owned building or any portion thereof is rented for the specific purpose of
holding a campaign fund raiser.
