If, within ten (10) <br />business days after the Clerk has sent a written notice, the person or entity either <br />complies with this Chapter or furnishes satisfactory evidence to the Clerk that he <br />or she is exempt from the filing obligations, a violation will be deemed not to have <br />occurred. <br />(b) The Clerk of the Council shall report apparent violations of this Chapter to the <br />City Attorney's Office. <br />City Council 11 — 15 7/19/2022 <br />
