Any applicant, property owner, or purchaser with a property under contract who lobbies a city council member or a member of the city plan commission on a municipal question relating to a zoning case that will affect the property shall file a non-registrant disclosure statement in accordance with this section. An initial non-registrant disclosure statement must be filed within five days after the applicant, property owner, or purchaser contacts a city council member or member of the city plan commission for lobbying purposes. This paragraph only applies to lobbying contacts made after the application for the zoning case is filed with the city.
(b) Required information. A non-registrant disclosure statement must be filed on the form and in the manner prescribed by the city secretary. If the applicant, property owner, or purchaser with a property under contract is not an individual, an authorized officer or agent of that person shall file the non-registrant disclosure statement. The non-registrant disclosure statement must include, to the extent applicable, the following information:
(1) The full name, telephone number, permanent address, and nature of the business of:
(A) the applicant;
(B) the property owner; and

(c) Quarterly disclosure statements. Lobbying contacts on a zoning case made after an initial non-registrant disclosure statement is filed must be reported by the applicant, property owner, or purchaser with a property under contract in quarterly non-registrant disclosure statements. A quarterly non-registrant disclosure statement must be filed on the form and in the manner prescribed by the city secretary and must include, with respect to the previous calendar quarter, to the extent applicable, the same information required in Subsection (b). The non-registrant disclosure statement for the preceding calendar quarter must be filed not earlier than the first day or later than the 15th day of April, July, October, or January.
