The e-mail was regarding the quarterly updates that aren't being sent. According to the ordinance 20 days after each quarter if a lobbyist hasn't updated their file; they will be placed in the unknown status and will be required to renew the registration form and pay the filing fees again. Our office is trying to avoid that and giving all lobbyists until Friday, April 24, 2015 to update for January. On Monday, April 27, 2015 those that didn't update will have to reregister in order to comply with the ordinance. That being said, for an update all we require is an e-mail stating all of your company's lobbyists and a new client list if there are changes. If there are no changes we require an e-mail with all of your company's lobbyist list and state that there are no changes to the client list. If you have changes during the year and wish to update as it happens that will work as well. Whether it be lobbyist or client changes we just need an update per the ordinance. October is renewal time, January is update time, April is update time and July is update time. But if you have any question feel free to call me any time.
