A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING A CHARGE
TO CANDIDATES FOR ELECTIVE OFFICE, FOR PREPARATION
OF MATERIALS SUBMITTED TO THE ELECTORATE AND THE
COSTS OF THE CANDIDATE STATEMENT FOR THE SPECIAL
MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN THE CITY ON
TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 2011
WHEREAS, Section 13307 of the Elections Code of the State of California provides that
the governing body of any city may adopt a charge against candidates pertaining to materials
prepared by any candidate for municipal election, including costs of the candidates' statement.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga does hereby
resolve, declare, determine and order as follows:
SECTION 1: General Provisions. That pursuant to Section 13307 of the Elections
Code of the State of California, each candidate for elective office to be voted for at the Special
Municipal Election to be held in the City of Rancho Cucamonga on June 7, 2011, may prepare a
candidate's statement on an appropriate form provided by the City Clerk. Such statement may
include the name, age and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of no more than
200 words of the candidate's education and qualifications expressed by the candidate himself or
herself. Such statement shall not include party affiliation of the candidate, nor membership or
activity in partisan political organizations. Such statement shall be filed in the Office of the City
Clerk at the time the candidate's nomination papers are filed. Such statement may be
withdrawn, but not changed, during the period for filing nomination papers and until 5:00 p.m. of
the next working day after the close of the nomination period.
SECTION 2: Additional Materials. No candidate will be permitted to include additional
materials in the sample ballot package.
SECTION 3: Payment. The City Clerk shall estimate the total cost of printing, handling,
translating and mailing the candidate's statements filed pursuant to the Elections Code,
including costs incurred as a result of complying with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (as
amended), and require each candidate fling a statement to pay in advance his or her pro rata
share as a condition of having his or her statement included in the voter's pamphlet. The
estimate is just an approximation of the actual cost that varies from one election to another
election and may be significantly more or less than the estimate, depending upon the actual
number of candidates filing statements. Accordingly, the Clerk is not bound by the estimate and
may, on a pro rata basis, bill the candidate for additional actual expense or refund any excess
paid depending on the final cost. In the event of underpayment, the Clerk may require the
candidate to pay the balance of the cost incurred. In the event of overpayment, the Clerk shall
prorate the excess amount among the candidates and refund the excess amount paid.
SECTION 4: That the City Clerk shall provide each candidate or the candidate's
representative a copy of this Resolution at the time nominating petitions are issued.
SECTION 5: That all previous Resolutions establishing Council policy on payment for
candidates statements are repealed.
SECTION 6: That this Resolution shall apply only to the special election to be held on
June 7, 2011 and shall then be repealed.
