Letter to Ray Patchett, City Manager, from James Gaiser, a citizen of Carlsbad,
JAMES M. GAISER 3340 RIDGECREST OWE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA 92008
MR. RAY PATCHETT
City Manager
City of Carlsbad
1200 Carlsbad Village Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008-1989
Dear Mr. Patchett:
May I please be placed on the Carlsbad City Council agenda. As
we discussed, Tuesday, May 6, 2003, is most convenient.
It is my desire to discuss with the Council and request consider- ation of some changes to the City of Carlsbad campaign reporting
requirements of mayoral and councilmatic candidates.
The areas of concern are:
1. Copies of checks being required to be filed with
reports. (1.13.035)
2. An additional reporting period report. (1.13.030)
3. Contributions or loans in excess of $25.00 are required
to be reported in campaign statements. (1.13.025 (a) & (a))
It is suggested items 1 and 2 above be deleted from your require-
ments and that item 3 would be changed to a threshold of $100.00
rather than the $25.00 presently.
These three City of Carlsbad requirements are much more restrictive
and onerous than those of most other cities in San Diego County
and most likely throughout California.
The changes suggested appear to return the City of Carlsbad
requireme-ts to their status prior to 1985 and I believe these
suggested changes are consistent with current government codes.
The Council's review and favorable consideration is requested.
Sincerely, ,
0 James M. Gaiser
