2.10.010 Electronic filing of campaign statements and statements of economic interests.
A. Any elected officer, candidate, committee or other person required to file statements, reports or other documents required by Chapter 4 of the Political Reform Act (commencing with Section 84100 of the Government Code) shall file such documents online or electronically with the City Clerk, unless exempt from the requirement to file online pursuant to Government Code Section 84615(a) because the elected officer, candidate, committee or other person receives contributions totaling less than $2,000 and makes expenditures totaling less than $2,000 in a calendar year.
B. Any person holding a position listed in Government Code Section 82700 or designated in the City’s local conflict of interest code adopted pursuant to Government Code Section 83700 shall file any required statement of economic interest reports (Form 700) electronically with the City Clerk.
C. Filings set forth in subsections A and B of this section which are filed and received electronically with the City Clerk are not required to also be filed with the City Clerk in paper format. An electronic filing will be the official record of such filing. Filers must sign electronic filings in the system under penalty of perjury.
D. In any instance in which an original statement, report or other document must be filed with the California Secretary of State and a copy of that statement, report or other document is required to be filed with the City Clerk, the filer may, but is not required to, file the copy electronically.
E. If the City Clerk’s electronic system is not capable of accepting a particular type of statement, report or other document, an elected officer, candidate, committee or other person shall file that document with the City Clerk in an alternative format.
F. Once a candidate or committee is subject to the electronic filing requirements imposed by this chapter, the candidate or committee will remain subject to the electronic filing requirements until the candidate or committee files a termination statement pursuant to the Political Reform Act.
