I have received the charges from the Registrar of Voters for the costs of
candidates statements. Each of you will be receiving a refund.
There is an error in these charges and so I will not provide you with the
exact amount until I receive clarification from the Registrar of Voters.
The amount will vary a bit.
If you requested an English only printing, you will be receiving approximately
$180 - $200.
If you requested a Spanish translation as well, you will be receiving
approximately $340.
Please let me know as soon as possible how you want your checks made payable
(i.e., to you personally or to a campaign bank account).
If I hear from you by the first of next week and can process your refund
before Wednesday, the checks should be in the mail on December 31st.
I will be sending you an e -mail letting you know the exact amount you will be
receiving as soon as I receive the correction from the Registrar of Voters.
I will also be advising you of your next /last filing requirement sometime next
week if you haven't filed your termination statement by that time.
For those of you who were unsuccessful candidates and still have campaign bank

accounts open, please do not forget that you must dispose of surplus funds by
December 31st. I'll cover that further in my e -mail.

BALLO i DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS
For your reference, the relevant provisions of Elections Code 13107 and 13107.5 are reproduced below:
13107. BALLOT DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS
(a) With the exception of candidates for Justice of the State Supreme Court or Court of Appeal, immediately under the name of each candidate,
and not separated from the name by any line, may appear at the option of the candidate only one of the following designations:
(1) Words designating the elective city, county, district, state, or federal office which the candidate holds at the time of filing the nomination
documents to which he or she was elected by vote of the people, or to which he or she was appointed, in the case of a superior court
judge.
(2) The word "incumbent" if the candidate is a candidate for the same office which he or she holds at the time of filing the nomination papers,
and was elected to that office by a vote of the people, or, in the case of a superior court judge, was appointed to that office.
(3) No more than three words designating either the current principal professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate, or the principal
professions, vocations, or occupations of the candidate during the calendar year immediately preceding the filing of nomination
documents. For purposes of this section, all California geographical names shall be considered to be one word. Hyphenated words that
appear in any generally available standard reference dictionary, published in the ignited States at any time within the 10 calendar years
immediately preceding the election for which the words are counted, shall be considered as one word. Each part of all other hyphenated
words shall be counted as a separate word.
(4) The phrase "appointed incumbent " if the candidate holds an office other than a judicial office by virtue of appointment, and the candidate
is a candidate for election to the same office, or, if the candidate is a candidate for election to the saute office or to some other office, the
word "appointed" and the title of the office. In either instance, the candidate may not use the unmodified word "incumbent" or any words
designating the office unmodified by the word "appointed," However, the phrase " "a pointed incumbent" shall not be required of a
candidate who seeks reelection to an office which he or she holds and to which he or s le was appointed, as a nominated candidate, in
lieu of an election, pursuant to Sections 5326 and 5328 of the Education Code or Section 7228, 7423, 7673, 10229, or 10515 of this
code.
(b) Neither the Secretary of State nor any other election official shall accept a designation of which any of the following would be true:
(1) It would mislead the voter.
(2) It would suggest an evaluation of a candidate, such as outstanding, leading, expert, virtuous, or eminent.
(3) It abbreviates the word "retired" or places it following any word or words which it modifies.
(4) It uses a word or prefix, such as "former " or 'ex -," which means a prior status. The only exception is the use of the word "retired."
(5) It uses the name of any political party, whether or not it has qualified for the ballot.
(6) It uses a word or words referring to a racial, religious, or ethnic group.
(7) It refers to any activity prohibited by law.
(c) If, upon checking the nomination documents and the hallot designation worksheet described in Section 1310 7.3, the election official finds the
designation to be in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in this section, the elections official shall notify the candidate by registered or
certified mail return receipt requested, addressed to the mailing address provided on the candidate's ballot designation worksheet.
(1) The candidate shall, within three days, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and state holidays, from the date he or she receives notice by
registered or certified mail, or from the date the candidate receives actual notice of the violation, whichever occurs first, appear before the
elections official or, in the case of the Secretary of State, notify the Secretary of State by telephone, and provide a designation that
complies with subdivision (a).
(2) In the event the candidate fails to provide a designation that complies with subdivision (a) within the three -day period specified in
paragraph (1), no designation shall appear after the candidate's name.
(d) No designation given by a candidate shall be changed by the candidate after the final bate for filing nomination documents, except as
specifically requested by the elections official as specified in subdivision (c) or as provided in subdivision (e). The elections official shall
maintain a copy of the ballot designation worksheet for each candidate that appears on the ballot in the county for the same period of time as
applied to nomination documents pursuant to Section 17100.
(e) The designation shall remain the same for all purposes of both primary and general elections, unless the candidate, at least 98 days prior to
the general election, requests in writing a different designation which the candidate is entitled to use at the time of the request.
(f) In all cases, words so used shall be printed in 8 -point roman uppercase and lowercase type except that, if the designation selected is so long
that it would conflict with the spare requirements of Sections 13207 and 13211, the elections official shall use a type size for the designation
for each candidate for that office sufficiently smaller to meet these requirements.
(g) Whenever a foreign language translation of a candidate's designation is required under the Voting Fights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1971),
as amended, to appear on the ballot in addition to the English language version, it shall be as short as possible, as consistent as is
practicable with this section, and shall employ abbreviations and initials wherever possible in order to avoid undue length.
(Afnended by Stats, 2003, e. 62, §84.)
13107.5 USE OF "COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER"
(a) A candidate's ballot designation as "community volunteer" shall constitute a valid principal vocation or occupation for purposes of subdivision
(a) of Section 13107, if not otherwise in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in that section, and subject to the following conditions:
(1) A candidate's community volunteer activities constitute his or her principal profession, vocation, or occupation.
(2) A candidate is not engaged concurrently in another principal profession, vocation, or occupation.
(3) A candidate may not use the designation of "community volunteer" in combination with any other principal profession, vocation, or
occupation designation.

CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN PRACTICES
There are basic principles of decency, honesty, and fair play which every candidate for
public office in the State of California has a moral obligation to observe and uphold in order that,
after vigorously contested but fairly conducted campaigns, our citizens may exercise their
constitutional right to a free and untrammeled choice and the will of the people may be fully and
clearly expressed on the issues.
THEREFORE:
(1) 1 SHALL CONDUCT my campaign openly and publicly, discussing the issues as I
see them, presenting my record and policies with sincerity and frankness, and criticizing without
fear or favor the record and policies of my opponents or political parties that merit this criticism.
(2) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT the use of character defamation, whispering
campaigns, libel, slander, or scurrilous attacks on any candidate or his or her personal or family life.
(3) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT any appeal to negative prejudice based on a
candidate's actual or perceived race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, age, sexual orientation, sex, including
gender identity, or any other characteristic set forth in Section 12940 of the Government Code, or
association with another person who has any of the actual or perceived characteristics set forth in
Section 12940 of the Government Code.
(4) 1 SHALL NOT USE OR PERMIT any dishonest or unethical practice that tends to
corrupt or undermine our American system of free elections, or that hampers or prevents the full
and free expression of the will of the voters including acts intended to hinder or prevent any eligible
person from registering to vote, enrolling to vote, or voting.
(5) 1 SHALL NOT coerce election help or campaign contributions for myself or for any
other candidate from my employees.
(6) 1 SHALL IMMEDIATELY AND PUBLICLY REPUDIATE support deriving from any
individual or group that resorts, on behalf of my candidacy or in opposition to that of my opponent,
to the methods and tactics that I condemn. I shall accept responsibility to take firm action against
any subordinate who violates any provision of this code or the laws governing elections.
(7) 1 SHALL DEFEND AND UPHOLD the right of every qualified American voter to full
and equal participation in the electoral process.
I, the undersigned, candidate for election to public office in the State of California or
treasurer or chairperson of a committee making any independent expenditures, hereby voluntarily
endorse, subscribe to, and solemnly pledge myself to conduct my campaign in accordance with the
above principles and practices.

Chapter 5. Fair Campaign Practices
Article 1. General Intent
20400. The Legislature hereby declares that the purpose of this chapter is to encourage every
candidate for public office in this state to subscribe to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices.
It is the ultimate intent of the Legislature that every candidate for public office in this state
who subscribes to the Code of Fair Campaign Practices will follow the basic principles of decency,
honesty, and fair play in order that, after vigorously contested, but fairly conducted campaigns, the
citizens of this state may exercise their constitutional right to vote, free from dishonest and unethical
practices which tend to prevent the full and free expression of the will of the voters.
The purpose in creating the Code of Fair Campaign Practices is to give voters guidelines
in determining fair play and to encourage candidates to discuss issues instead of untruths or
distortions.
Article 2. Definitions
20420. As used in this Chapter, "Code" means the Code of Fair Campaign Practices.
Article 3. Code of Fair Campaign Practices
20440. At the time an individual is issued his or her declaration of candidacy, nomination papers, or
any other paper evidencing an intention to be a candidate for public office, the elections official shall
give the individual a blank form of the code and a copy of this chapter. The elections official shall
inform each candidate for public office that subscription to the code is voluntary.
In the case of a committee making an independent expenditure, as defined in Section
82031 of the Government Code, the Secretary of State shall provide a blank form and a copy of this
chapter to the individual filing, in accordance with Title 9 (commencing with § 81000) of the
Government Code, an initial campaign statement on behalf of the committee.
The text of the Code shall read, as follows: (See "CODE OF FAIR CAMPAIGN
PRACTICES" on reverse side).
20442. The elections official shall accept, at all times prior to the election, all completed forms
which are properly subscribed to by a candidate for public office and shall retain them for public
inspection until 30 days after the election.
20443. Every code subscribed to by a candidate for public office pursuant to this chapter is a
public record open for public inspection.
20444. In no event shall a candidate for public office be required to subscribe to or endorse the
code.

Subject: Ballot Designation
Dan,
I spent a few minutes with the City Attorney and we reviewed the Election Code together. We believe that your position
as a Planning Commissioner would be more correctly defined as a "vocation" than as an occupation. If you believe that
you can indicate on your ballot designation worksheet that you spend a substantial amount of time and effort performing
your duties as Commissioner, this designation would be acceptable to me.
While it is unlikely that it would happen, you should be aware that ballot designations are subject to challenge.
Regarding your Nomination Paper, if it does not contain the adequate number of signatures, in accordance with the
Elections Code, I would provide you with a copy showing which ones are not valid and would issue you a second
Nomination Paper. You could then circulate that, complete and return it in the same manner you did your first one. You
could collect up to 30 signatures_ You would not want to have the same folks sign the second form. I would only check
the number I needed from the first paper.
Does this help?

Subject: RE: Council Salaries
Audrey and Monica, I talked to Mr. Carpenter this morning. His two issues regarding salary related to his
retirement allowance from PERS as a result of his retiring from Cal Poly.
He first wanted to know if being a Council Member would be considered a temporary position and /or less than
960 hours per year (the maximum he can work as a retiree). I told him that elected officials had the option of
whether or not to be enrolled in the retirement system, so the 960 -hour rule didn't apply. For example, the Mayor
continues to receive his PERS retirement allowance.
His second question about waiving partial salary is that he has an earnings limit because he's on a disability
retirement. I told him that as long as the City Attorney was OK with it and Payroll could accommodate it, that
there were no HR issues that would prevent him from taking a partial salary. We didn't specifically talk about the
cafeteria contribution. I would need additional information from him as to the earnings limit to see if the cafeteria
contribution would count toward that limit, since he would only be getting enough to cover his insurance
premiums. Since he retired from Cal Poly, he would most likely stay with their medical insurance (since they pay
100% for retirees) and we would only be talking about dental, vision and life insurance premiums.
He said he would call me if he had any additional benefit questions.

Thanks - just for clarification, he's now wants to find out if he can waive just a portion of it.
think this is going to be the year for interesting questions.

Hi Audrey — I'm copying Karen on this. She is out of the office until Monday but I'll ask her to follow up with you
and Dan when she returns. My sense is that it would be possible for a council member to waive the salary, but I
assume we report the insurance as compensation although as a council member he is not eligible for a cash back
option so I don't know how that affects things. Karen will you let us know your thoughts on this?

Monica,
Dan Carpenter is on our Planning Commission. He is a potential Council candidate who raised an earlier
question regarding his salary (see Debbie's response, below).
Dan s now asking whether or not the City is able to pay him a portion of his salary (as opposed to the full Council
salary). (Jonathan said he didn't think it would be a problem for Dan to waive his entire salary - I didn't ask him
about a partial salary, but I'm copying him on this e- mail.)
Dan also has questions related to whether the benefits he would receive are equivalent to and /or reported as
salary. (I may not have worded this exactly correctly.)
Debbie thinks Dan's current questions should be answered by Human Resources.
Would you or your designee be willing to call Dan and answer his questions to the degree possible? His office
number is his home number is
I have also strongly suggested he talk to PERS (from which he retired) and his tax person.
Thanks,
Audrey
(PS - I'll be curious to know if what he is requesting is possible. I'm not sure how that will impact his desire to run
for office.)

Audrey,
In my time here (which is only 8 years) we haven't had anyone do this. That doesn't mean it couldn't be done.
The payroll system is capable of not paying a salary and only paying the cafeteria contribution. But you should
definitely talk to Jonathan about it.

Debbie,
A potential candidate asked me whether it would be possible for him to be elected to office and decline the salary
that goes with the position of Council Member. If elected, he would like to receive the other benefits (health, life,
etc.). Before I talk to Jonathan about this matter, can you tell me if there is a process whereby the City could
orchestrate this ? ??
Thanks,
