APPROVE BUDGET TRANSFER - CITY'S SPECIAL ELECTION -
NOVEMBER 7, 2000 - MEASURE M (Discussed later in the meeting
- pages 11 & 17) (11)
City Clerk Clark submitted a staff report dated September 11, 2000, regarding
the budget transfer for the City's Special Election on November 7,2000 (Measure M).
Council Member Lien asked the City Attorney to clarify his previous statements
regarding mailing both the existing Charter and the proposed Charter to voters vs.
mailing only the proposed Charter.
City Attorney Penman stated that a lawsuit could result if it were deemed that
the City was unfairly favoring one position over the other. He stated that the law was
very clear on what constitutes advocacy. He felt that mailing the proposed Charter was
a good idea; however, failure to send both documents concurrently would frustrate the
ability of the voters to choose because they would have nothing to compare it with.
Mr. Penman felt that both Charters should be mailed out at the same time.
City Clerk Clark stated that there was never any mention of mailing the existing
Charter with the proposed Charter.
Mayor Valles asked if Measure M included language notifying voters that copies
of the existing Charter were available upon request.
City Clerk Clark stated that Measure M did not include that language, but there
was a possibility that it could still be inserted.
Council Member McCammack understood the Charter would be printed in the
sample ballot, based upon the way the resolution was written.
City Clerk Clark stated that she was directed to accept arguments, arrange for
sample ballots, and include the text of the proposed Charter in accordance with the
Elections Code. City Clerk Clark stated that the Elections Code provides that if the
Charter is not included in its entirety, it could be provided to the voters at no cost.
City Attorney Penman stated that his point was one of fairness and avoiding
exposure to litigation. He suggested mailing both Charters to the voters.
Council Member McCammack stated that she was relying on the Elections
Official to know what needed to be included on the sample ballot and asked if any
research had been done on keeping costs down. She stated that if they were not going
to mail out the existing Charter, they should at least consider mailing the impartial
analysis.
City Clerk Clark stated that the impartial analysis was included in the sample
ballot, and one of her primary goals was to contain costs as much as possible.
10
9/18/2000
Council Member McCammack suggested mailing the impartial analysis in
addition to the proposed Charter in order to give voters time to read it and analyze it,
and suggested including a statement that copies of the existing Charter would be
available upon request.
RECESS MEETING
At 10:40 a.m., Mayor Valles declared a five-minute recess.

The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Estrada,
Lien, McGinnis, Schnetz, Suarez. Nays: Council Member McCammack. Absent:
Council Member Anderson.
Council Member Lien made a motion, seconded by Council Member Estrada,
that the City print and mail the existing Charter and the proposed Charter as one
document, at whatever additional cost. (No vote was taken.)
Council Member McGinnis stated that he was against mailing the eXlstlllg
Charter and spending taxpayers' money for something that has always been available.
City Attorney Penman stated that he shared the concern regarding the additional
cost and commented that the fair and impartial analysis, prepared by Mr. Gresham's
firm and tested in court, makes the comparisons required to fulfill the element of
fairness and would cost less to print.
11
9/18/2000
Council Member McCammack made a substitute motion, seconded by Council
Member Estrada, that in the event both Charters could not be mailed together as one
document, the impartial analysis should be included and mailed with the proposed
Charter.
City Clerk Clark clarified that the impartial analysis was already included in the
sample ballot.
The motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Council Members Estrada,
McCammack. Nays: Council Members Lien, McGinnis, Schnetz, Suarez. Absent:

in order to obtain an estimate from the County Registrar of Voters of the additional cost
