07/01/26 - IAFF Local 4349
President Ian: I move that Local 4349 authorize the formation of a political action committee or political fund, pending legal and campaign-compliance review, and authorize the Executive Board and the designated PAC Chair to take the necessary steps to get it set up the right way.
That includes identifying or appointing a treasurer, opening a separate PAC bank account if appropriate, keeping separate accounting records, preparing any required filings, drafting proposed PAC bylaws and operating procedures, establishing a PAC Board with at least three members, with a five-member board preferred, and putting basic compliance controls in place.
I further move that Local 4349 authorize the use of Association savings as seed money, not to exceed $9,800, for PAC formation costs. That may include legal and compliance review, filing costs, accounting, administrative expenses, and initial operating costs, as long as the use of those funds is confirmed to be lawful, proper, and consistent with Association rules.
This motion does not authorize mandatory member contributions, payroll deductions, campaign spending, candidate contributions, ballot-measure spending, independent expenditures, or the use of any District resources.
If this motion is approved by the membership through online vote, the proposed PAC bylaws will be brought back to the membership for review and adoption at a special meeting before the PAC conducts campaign activity or makes political expenditures beyond formation and compliance costs. |
