10.Introduce An Ordinance Amending Chapter 2.40 Of The
City Of San Luis Obispo Municipal Code Requiring
Electronic Filing Of Campaign Disclosure Documents
And Providing For Administrative Enforcement Of
Campaign Regulations Violations
Staff Presentation By:
Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Teresa Purrington, City Clerk
Item #10
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM
Recommendation
Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 2.40 of the
City of San Luis Obispo Municipal Code requiring
electronic filing for campaign disclosure documents
and providing for administrative enforcement of
campaign regulation violations
California Government Code
Section 84615
Effective January 2013 allows local government
agencies to require an elected officer, candidate,
committee or other person to file statement reports
and other documents online or electronically with their
local filing officer.
Requires Council adopt an Ordinance to require
and authorize complete electronic signatures
and submission of electronic campaign disclosure
forms.
Current System
Candidates and Campaign Committees file paper
copies (2 sets) of required campaign statements and
reports in person with the City Clerk’s office.
Member of the City Clerk’s office must review
documents for completeness and errors. Most
common error is in the adding of numbers.
The documents must be made available online and in
person for anyone who requests them. Online
documents must be reacted.
California Government Code
Section 84615
The system must be free of charge to the filers,
available to the public to view filings, and include
procedures for filers to comply with the requirement
that they sign statements and reports under penalty of
perjury.
Electronic Filing System -NetFile
Filers create their filings in free online flier application
Filing submitted to the City Clerk’s office electronically
No wet signature or paper filing required
Reacted filing is instantly posted online for complete
transparency to the public
Free filer training by NetFile
Data can be entered at any time and is placed on correct
schedule(s) and all subtotals/totals are made by the system,
reducing human error
Validated filings mean less amendments
Filer app prevents common mistakes made on paper
Enforcement -Currently
Campaign regulations violations are to be enforced by the
City Attorney by means of criminal prosecution of a civil
action in Superior Court.
Historically, violations of the City’s campaign regulations
have been relatively minor and inadvertent.
Nonetheless, due to enforcement structure and potential
for private actions if no City enforcement was pursued,
even relatively minor, straightforward violations resulted in
an inordinate amount of investigation and resolution
resources as a result of limited enforcement options.
Enforcement -Change
Campaign regulations violations would remain
subject to enforcement by the City Attorney.
Would allow for the use of administrative citations
for violations if the City Attorney determines
violations have occurred but are not egregious and
willful and do not warrant criminal or civil prosecution.
Recommendation
Introduce an Ordinance amending Chapter 2.40 of the
City of San Luis Obispo Municipal Code requiring
electronic filing for campaign disclosure documents and
providing for administrative enforcement of campaign
regulation violations.
