BRADY CITY MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 27, 2009 SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS SETTING DATE OF RECALL ELECTION, REGULATION OF CANDIDATE MATERIALS AND COSTS; ESTABLISHING RUNOFF ELECTION FOR TIES; AND REQUESTING REGISTRAR OF VOTERS TO RENDER ELECTION SERVICES Background A "Notice of Intention to Circulate a Recall Petition" against Councilmember Thomas Buckley was received by the City on March 10, 2009. The recall proponents started collecting signatures May 5, 2009 and submitted the completed petition to the City Clerk's office on August 22, 2009. Per Elections Code Section 11220, signatures from 20 percent of Lake Elsinore's 15,985 registered voters were required. The completed petition was then submitted to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters for verification and certification. The petition was determined to be "sufficient" and a Certification noting all requirements was issued. The Certification was submitted to the City Council as required per Election Code Section 11227 on October 13, 2009. Council requested specific information be provided on for the October 27 regular meeting 1) Recommendation of potential Special Election dates; and 2) Recommendation of financial availability for funding a Special Election. Discussion Elections Code Section 11240 states within 14 days after receiving the Certificate, the City Council must issue an order setting a Special Election. The election must be held not less than 88 and not more than 125 days from the date of the order. If CC Agenda 10/27/2009 Item No. 10 Page 1 of 30 Resolutions Setting Date of Recall Election, etc. October 27, 2009 Page 2 of 5 the City Council elects not to issue such an order, a special election will be ordered by the County Registrar of Voters. 1 a) ROV recommendation and resolution setting Special Election date: As noted above, Section 11240 states the special election must be held not less than 88 and not more than 125 days from the date of the order. Elections Code Section 1100 requires that all elections be held on a Tuesday and that no election shall be held on the day before, the day of, or the day after a state holiday. The applicable 2010 state holidays are February 12 (President Lincoln's Birthday) and February 15 (President's Day). If the election is ordered by the City Council on October 27, 2009, the potential dates for an election are: • January 26, 2010 • February 2, 2010 • February 9, 2010, or • February 23, 2010. Sample schedules of events detailing the various deadlines associated with the election are attached for the first and the last potential dates (January 26 and February 23 Potential Consolidation with State Senate Election: There is currently a vacant seat on the Riverside County Board of Supervisors. The Board has recommended that the Governor appoint State Senator John Benoit, currently serving Senate District 37 which includes Lake Elsinore. Such appointment would necessitate a special election within Senate District 37 to fill Senator Benoit's vacated seat. The ROV has stated that, depending on the Governor's action, an opportunity for a consolidation with the Senate District special election may exist on either January 26 or February 23, 2010. The City Clerk will advise the Council prior to the meeting if the Governor has taken action and, accordingly, if the date of a special election for District 37 is available for consolidation. CC Agenda 10/27/2009 Item No. 10 Page 2 of 30 Resolutions Setting Date of Recall Election, etc. October 27, 2009 Page 3 of 5 Recommendation of the Riverside County Registrar of Voters (ROV): The ROV has recommended that the election be held on February 23, 2010. This recommendation is based on the following: • Possible consolidation (see above). • Longest campaign time allotted for all candidates. • Mailing of campaign literature, absentee and sample ballots, set for December 17, 2009 through January 5, 2010 would be greatly be impacted by holiday mail if an earlier date is chosen. • The ROV has an election scheduled in December 2009 and, therefore, the February 23 date would greatly assist her staff with meeting the mailing deadlines (late January). 1 b) Resolution establishing regulation of candidate materials and costs: Elections Code Section 13307 allows the City Council to adopt regulations pertaining to materials prepared by any candidate, including the cost of the candidate's statement. The attached resolution has been prepared for consideration by the City Council establishing the estimated candidate's costs for this Recall Special Municipal Election. A $25.00 fee will be paid to the City when nomination papers are pulled. If the candidate chooses to prepare and print an optional Candidate's Statement of 200 words, the estimated charge is $850.00 to cover the cost established by the Riverside County Registrars of Voters. If applicable, excess funds received will be reimbursed or insufficient funds will be requested when the final cost have been determined after the election. The attached resolution is applicable only to this specific Recall Special Municipal Election and automatically terminates once the election has taken place. 1 c) Resolution establishing runoff election for ties: Elections Code Section 15651 provides that tie elections will be determined "by lot" conducted by the City Council unless the Council adopts a resolution calling for a runoff election. If the City Council prefers that a runoff election be conducted in the event of a tie, the Council must adopt the attached resolution establishing that procedure. Due to the cost of a run -off election and the short time remaining in Councilman Buckley's term, City staff does not recommend adoption of the attached resolution. CC Agenda 10/27/2009 Item No. 10 Page 3 of 30 Resolutions Setting Date of Recall Election, etc. October 27, 2009 Page 4 of 5 1d) Resolution requesting ROV to render election services: Elections Code Section 10002 allows the City Council to request the Board of Supervisors allow the "County Election Department" to render election services to the City related to the Recall Special Municipal Election. The attached resolution, if adopted by the Council, requests the Board of Supervisors to authorize the Riverside County Registrar of Voters to provide the necessary election services. Expenses in performing these election services must be paid by the City of Lake Elsinore. The estimated cost for the Recall Special Municipal Election is $30,000 to $50,000. 2) Budget Allocation: Per the criteria specified by the California Secretary of State's office and the California Elections Code, which specifies the required process, a recall election is not a planned event. Accordingly, the funds to cover such an election have not been set aside in the 2009/10 budget. City staff recommends that the Council authorize the transfer of $50,000 from the Unallocated Fund Balance to the General Fund for payment of election expenses. Fiscal Impact The Riverside County Registrar of Voters has estimated the costs of the Special Recall Election at $30,000 to $50,000. Recommendations 1) Choose one of the proposed dates and adopt a Resolution to Order a date for a Recall Special Municipal Election. 2) Adopt a Resolution to establish Candidate Rules and Regulations specific only to this Recall Special Municipal Election and automatically rescind this adopted Resolution once the election has taken place. 3) Decline to adopt a Resolution to hold a Special Runoff Election if the election results are tied 4) Adopt a Resolution requesting the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to authorize the Registrar of Voter's office to render services for this Recall Special Municipal Election and automatically rescind this adopted Resolution once the election has taken place CC Agenda 10/27/2009 Item No. 10 Page 4 of 30 Resolutions Setting Date of Recall Election, etc. October 27, 2009 Page 5 of 5 5) Direct the City Manager which financial funds to use from the Fiscal Year 2009/10 budget to cover the Recall Special Municipal Election's expenses. City management recommends transferring funds from the Unallocated Fund Balance to the General Fund to cover all costs associated with the Recall Special Municipal Election. Prepared by: Debora Thomsen City Clerk Approved by: Robert A. Brat W f City Manager Attachments: 1) Riverside County Registrar of Voters Petition Certification. 2) Calendar of Events for January 26, 2010 election day. 3) Calendar of Events for February 23, 2010 election day. 4) Resolution to Order the date for a Recall Special Municipal Election. 5) Resolution to establish Candidate Rules and Regulations specific only to this Recall Special Municipal Election. 6) Resolution to establish a special runoff election in the event of a tie. 7) Resolution to request authorization by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors for the Registrar of Voters to render services for this specific Recall Special Municipal Election.
