HDr CITY ATTYV^* CITY MGR._r33d= O 1 _i O OO RECOMMENDED ACTION: If the City Council concurs your action is to introduce Ordinance No- ITEM EXPLANATION At the City Council's direction our office has prepared Ordinance No. /£^b _ which would require an additional campaign disclosure Statement for Carlsbad's municipal elections. The Council should review the provisions of the ordinance and satisfy yourselves that it accurately reflects your intentions in the matter. It occurred to me that it might be helpful for the Council to see what the application of this ordinance would be for the 1986 election. s 1 19 26 M 20 27 T 21 28 OCTOBER W GOD 29 1986 TH F 16 1 S 7 18 23 24 25 30 [31] NOVEMBER 1986 4 ELECTION DAY Assuming the threshhold requirements are met a candidate in the 1986 election would file their second campaign statement 17 days before the November 4 election day with the closing date of 12 days before. That is, the statement would close on Friday, October 17 and would have to be filed no later than Wednesday, October 22. The ordinance would require an additional statement to be filed by 5:00 p.m. on the Friday, preceeding the election day covering the period from the closing day of the previous statement to the Thursday preceeding the election day. That is, the additional statement would cover the period from Saturday, October 18 through Thursday, October 30 and it would have to be filed the next day, Friday, October 31. In all other respects the ordinance applies the same requirements as would otherwise apply to the campaign statement under the Political Reform Act including the provisions for penalties and enforcement. Agenda Bill I March 5, 1985 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT This ordinance will impose additional duties on the City's filing officer, the City Clerk, and we have not attempted to quantify those costs.
